Neck Lift, Goldsboro NC, Left with Wrinkled, Puckered Skin

"How can you tell if a PS specializes in a neck lift or whatever it is you want? "
Don't be afraid to ask how many he has done or exactly what his specialty is. If he specializes in breasts but has done a few dozen neck lifts, find someone who specializes in faces/necks. Look for reviews.

Granbury grammy, it is an absolute shame to have to go through this when all we wanted was to look a little prettier.
I would recommend another opinion. Not being very experienced in procedures, I was surprised to find hear "we don't do revisions" when I started calling. One PS however, did refer me to someone who they knew that did them. I have been asked who it was, but hesitated to devulge the name because I am not sure about legal action against the first PS. I had asked for a refund and was denied so I may take further action. (I thought a refund was a reasonably appropriate request considering).
Not only did my revision surgeon pick up on errors upon his initial exam of my neck, he found more when he read the notes and saw the before pictures that i got from the first PS: 1) that ALL the fat was removed from the 2 lipo'd areas, not just some of it. 2) that the sutures used in the muscle suspension going from the center muscle of my neck up to behind my ears were done with dissolvable sutures (it is supposed to be permanent). 3) he reincorporated the initial ugly scarring behind my ears and under my chin into finer, more concealed scars. 4) the method used to revise the problem by the first PS had no chance of correcting the problems caused.
I wish you the best of luck getting this resolved.

2 months post op after experienced surgeon (who knew what he was doing) did the revision and my neck looks beautiful. I feel pretty again. Was told though that I may see problems when I am older because the first surgeon lipo'd all the fat out in those areas. My advice: Go to someone who is specialized in what you are looking for, not just any plastic surgeon.

kimmer, I am so sorry you are having to go through this. It's horrible when you go into this waiting to see yourself improved, looking prettier, or younger, only to come out feeling like you've walked into a nightmare. Every time you walk past a mirror you want to cry or try to use your hands in different ways to cover up the hideous areas. I hope your treatment works. I will post the results of my revision with my new PS when I have it done.
