A mini face lift has left me with scarring. Flat, white and wide in my hair line,jn front of and behind do my eats. I cannot wear my hair up or put my hair behind my ears ad they are very visable. Why has this happened?
This doctor has done surgery on my before with fantastic results, but I've already put $1000 down and go for my pre-op Friday. When I had a second consult with him, he said he does the scar pre-tragal. Also, having a neck lift and he will be using incision behind the ear area. It seems most doctors do the inch long incision under the chin. I'm so nervous and want good and long lasting results and minimal scarring. I'm a 48 year old female, non-smoker, btw.
Today is one week post lower facelift/neck lift. Had my stitches and staples out yesterday. PS said everythjng looks really good. I'm having pinching pain behind right ear after the removal of stitches. Left ear feels fine. The pinching is worse when I try to lay back. I go back in 6 days. I did call and was told this is very normal. I am very pleased with my results otherwise.
I felt that I was pulled too tight on the left hand side. Waking up in recovery, the first thing I said was that the left hand side of my neck felt too tight. I look very lopsided but am too embarrassed to post a full face. I went out of state for my surgery. I have been sending my surgeon photos but he says he cannot open them. I posted photos a few days ago about my scars not healing right (they were big and red) but today they started to bleed.
The stitches behind my ears and down around my ear lobes are quite painful still (making it difficult to sleep) after getting a facelift (4 weeks ago). How do I tell if there is infection in the tissue surrounding the stitches and can you tell me what to put on the stitches. I have cleaned them every couple days with hydrogen peroxide and have put neosporin on them a few times. Thank you!
I am in my 5th week post op and still have this large gap behind my ear. I've already had a staph infection in this and now Dr says it looks good and should be completely closed in a week. Believe able? How much scarring will I have from this? Is it normal to leave someone with this and still to have it this wide open at 5 weeks?
