Notforme, Thanks,even today I look better. I think that some of the people who post here need to be ignored. This forum is for support. We do not tell "horror" stories. What we do tell is real life situations that happen to real people. We rely on others to help us through and give encouragement. I do not want to hear that what is happening to me may be relayed to the fact that I am not pretty to begin with or that bone structure contributes to poor results. Or that assuming someone has money so they expect to be made into a beautiful person and react like a spoiled child if the results of plastic surgery fail to do so. I am from England and I am surprised at the bluntness of some posts. Like I said, support, not bragging, is the expectations I have of a support group - the name says it all. Good luck to you to. I am done with this forum.
Notforme, I do not think the majority of us go into plastic surgery with unrealistic expectations. We do not expect our surgeon to be incompetent. II wanted to look good for my age and did not expect to look twenty years younger, nor did you as I gather from your postings. I have looked at this face for sixty years now and I want to recognize myself after surgery. You helped me with an earlier post so I will update you. I am now six weeks post-op. I do look better, my eyes are starting to look like mine. I have had chemosis for five weeks, just starting to get better. I also have a ropey fibrotic area under my left cheek that my doc injected with kenalog. So far, it has not changed. It is noticeable. Have you seen the picture "The Scream". My face sort of resembles that as my cheeks are too big and there are hollows under my cheeks. My doc says time will improve this, otherwise he will correct this. My surgeon acts very responsible, he really looked at my face at my six week check, unlike your surgeon. He told me he was not pleased with my right eye. He will see me in six weeks and we will discuss this. He also offered me a filler for around my mouth if I wanted, no charge. You have been through a lot and I think it took a lot of courage to post your results. I thank you. I think you have helped a lot of people. You helped me. By the way, I too am an R.N. I treated my patients with knowledgable care. Nurses make good patients as we are well educated and experienced. Most nurses have at least a four year education or more. And we do no when standards of care are breached, don't we?
My , my, you just made my day S. Roach. I was never considered pretty, however I had a face and neck lift and upper, lower blepharoplasty six weeks ago. I want to look good for my age and I think I will be happy. Right now I have a few issues and hopefully time will be helpful. I paid for my own surgery, my mum is a pensioner and has no extra funds. And yes, I do expect results of a certain standard, that does make one's expectations unrealistic.
Hi, I am 24 days post deep plane lift, upper and lower blep, fat injections under eyes and cheeks. Yikes, I look like a squinty green person. I too have hollows under my cheeks, looks dreadful. Maybe I will need fillers too. I am 60 and did not look that bad before. I had lots of energy, and none now! I am glad that so many people use this site. Is there hope? I feel tight, pain in evening and embarrsed to see people that I know. Actually, I have am avoiding seeing people and dread going to my mom's. When did you have the Radiesse?
