I agree with most of the comments - expecially from the Doctors - so I won't go there but I do want to add something different. Christie Brinkly had a very OBVIOUS face lift a few years back. Now, if she is not unwilling to put her face under the knife, my bet is she wouldn't think twice about getting a little lipo. I can say this with some confidence as I've done exactly the same thing - i.e. eye surgery a few years back and now lipo. Cosmetic and plastic surgery is self perpetuating; once you've had one thing, its very easy to justify another procedure. Celebrities would like you to believe they are more lucky or blessed than the rest of us but truth is they just have more money and resources.

Shelbe, you can update you profile to accept private messages and I can give you more information.

Well written and thought provoking! I'm sorry for your experience which is echoed consistently on these types of boards. The cynic in me wonders whether the whole thread lift concept is simply a ruse manufactured by surgeons trying to drum up business for real surgical lifts?

That's terrible, I hope you heal well. Others talk about steroid injections to get rid of the lumps, maybe your GP can help. Thanks for naming the injector.

Yes if a procedure doesn't deliver the goods it should be banned but it doesn't negate the responsiblity of the buyer to beware. A little research could have saved you the money and anguish.
