“Terrible Scarring and Numbness Almost Two Years After my "Lunchtime" Procedure”

It seems that scaring behing the ears is normal for that type of procedure. Do you have any before pictures? I would be interested in that side too...

I hope everything goes well for you. I must ask, since you had this done once and it was not as you expected 1-why did you not let the original doctors correct? 2-how did you find the original doctors 3-how did you find the second one--what did they say that let you have them do the procedure again what was different, asking on basis want to know if anyone has found an answer. tried the talk to people, interview ...

From what I see in the photo it looks like you had a mini face lift commonly called an "S" lift. They put these incisions in front and behind the ear and stretch the skin up and cut off the excess and then stitch you together. I have read some of the other responses and I think they had something else done as they say they were awake. You are NOT awake for an S lift as it is actually surgery. I had this done in Dec 2007 and the pain lasted behind my left ear for over 6 months and just slowly went away. My dermatologist did this procedure as he had tried the threads 6 months previous when they first came out but this was also terribly painful and really didn't work out. Wouldn't hold the skin and broke. He offered to do the S life for free with me payng only for the anesthesia. I probably had the whole thing done for just under $7000. I hope you had an MD do this procedure for you as many procedures do not used MD's and to me that is scary. I would never have anybody do anything to my body that is not at least an equivalent to an MD. You only get 1 body and sure don't want it screwed up. I read the one reply above where they said "I think it is great that they are willing to do the corrections for no additional cost." Why sure they will do it at NO COST. You already paid with money and pain and I am sure they do not want to lose their license.
