If I had known then what I know now, I would never have gotten a brow lift. I also had a facelift and lower blepharoplasty. After almost three weeks, I am still very swollen and the bruising has been unbelievable. Finally, after about ten days, my PS did a needle aspiration on my head to drain the old blood that was pooling on the top and sides of my head.( hematomas?) The blood immediately accumulated again, so after beginning to aspirate and getting 30 CCs, he prepped me and took me back to surgery where he made another incision and pumped out another 50 CCs. That was four days ago and I still have some on my left side. My entire head is extremely sore and yet numb. It's been a nightmare and so very painful. I wouldn't recommend this to my worst enemy. ( and certainly not to any family member) My Dr. Is puzzled because he used drains and said the surgery went well and has never had this happen before. Lucky me. I must admit he and his office staff have been very sympathetic and helpful.

Dr. Gregory Roberts left me with a debilitating dizziness and disorientation condition after a major facelift including upper and lower eyelids and forehead lift. My vision has worsened and within days of surgery I was too dizzy to drive in heavy traffic. I just recently failed my vision test for getting my drivers license renewed. He claimed that it was nothing HE did. Really? Then why was I presented with a form at the last minute when I arrived for my procedures that stated he would not be responsible for BLINDNESS? This was almost five years ago and my condition has only worsened. I developed severe hematomas and had to be drained with a syringe days later, then when my head continued to fill with blood he returned me to the surgical room where he had to pump the blood to relieve the pressure. Horrible experience and although I looked good for a year and a half it was so not worth the condition I was left in.
