Hello hope. I know what you are going through because my facelift ( mini) outcome was terrible as well. All you can do is bare the emotional pain and try to move on in life. I know it easier said than done but remeber you are not alone if that helps. Contact other plastic surgeons and get their opinions maybe something can be done to improve the last surgeons lack of talent. My good thoughts for your emotional healing go out to you.

Having experienced a very bad outcome to a rhytidectomy procedure I can empathize with lucilles pain. I am on permanent disability as a result of my surgery and from what I have seen on lucilles web site concerning her cosmetic pastic surgery experience, she difinately has good cause to publicly air her outrage and suffering. My healing thoughts go out to you lucille. You are not alone.

Hello, My rhytidectomy (mini) was performed three yrs ago. I am now on perm. disability as a result. you have my empathy and report the plastic surgeon if you can publicly on internet.

Hello maui girl. Male here 52 yrs old. I am so sorry about your rhytidectomy experience and the chipmonk smile outcome. It will not improve because your surgeon did not do his homework prior to the surgery. Your cheeks/smile look distorted because when the facial muscles are repositioned and the skin/ tissue is pulled/removed the aesthetic results are not natural. Not all facelift patients encounter the same aesthetic outcome that you did. But, had your plastic surgeon been talented/ knowledgeable enough to forsee the final results and the possibility of a chipmonk smile outcome, he would have made the proper adjustments to the facelift procedure. I wish you the best and remember you are not alone.

Hi secrets. I am a man whos mini rhytidectomy three yrs ago was a total disaster. I am now on disability as a result. Improper informed consent along with my surgeons total lack of skill performing facelifts led to my nightmare. Those of us who suffer have very few avenues in which to find support other than a therapist who has no idea what we are actually experiencing emotionally. We trust these sociopathic/ inexperienced cosmetic surgeons and after we are malformed they abandone us. The medical boards can do nothing ( they protect these animals) and attorneys are weary of taking on elective surgery malpractice cases. I agree with your analysis regarding the injustice people like us "face"! Please heal as best you can and remember there are many of us who relate to your tragic cosmetic plastic surgery experience. ...Have a good day. matt ...
