Almost 1 yr post deep plane face/necklift, I have numbness and irritation around my ears and sides of face still. I also noticed changes in my skin, its rougher textured and has a very red mottled appearance which is definitely unusual for me. I was wondering if nerve damage is affecting my skin quality, and if it would be beneficial to use a TENS machine? I also have quite a bit of inflammation and pain still. Thanks.
I see so many questions posed about scars and lower facelift. I know most doctors on here are incredible and perform perfect incisions... but, can I honestly expect some faint white lines around my ears and lower part of sideburns? Will someone who is close enough see the faint scars? Doctors I have consulted are experienced and all say they perform wonderful impeccable incisions. I'm fare and always have faint white lines after incisions.
Hello, I had a full facelift, brow lift, fat graft, lipo in my chin. It is almost 13 months post op and I am still tight around my chin and ears and numb all over my face, chin and ears. I look great but worried that tightness and numbness will never go away. Please tell me if I can do anything to help the heeling. Thank you very much.
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?
I had two previous facelift procedures done (one in1998, incluiding a coronal brow lift, and a second one in 2002) with the same Dr. Excellent results with no scarring. In april 2014 had a third and deeper one (face SMAS, neck and endoscopic browlift) with different Dr. This time results are not so impressive. Endoscopic eyebrow lift dissapointing compared to coronal. Healing process was long with severe bruising (3 nights in hospital). Concerned about front scar on left ear. What can be done?
Had facelift 5 weeks ago in another country. Scars I front of and behind ears. Told no sutures to be removed. Noticed very painful behind one ear in the area top of ear where my glasses touch. Close inspection shows an inflammed hole with a wire type of suture sticking out quite sharp and possibly another blue suture same hole. Cannot go back to surgeon as too far away. I think it might be a permanent deep suture and if this is the case will it be there forever irritating my skin? Other side is ok.
I am a 68-year old man who had his first facelift five weeks ago. On my pre-op, the doctor drew a picture showing how the scar would follow the rear junction of my ear about 3/4 of the way up, and then cross the shortest possible distance into my hairline. Photos show what was actually done. Behind the left ear the low incision ends in bunched skin that forms two very noticeable hard lumps. (My wife's facelift sixteen years ago was done with high incisions.) WHY did my doctor do this????
My Absorbable sutures in neck and under ears are not absorbed after 3 months. They are Causing sharp poking pain when touched and showing just under the skin. The PS surgeon i used said he can do nothing about this. Please any advice is appreciated. Can I go to any gp clinic and ask to have them cut out. They seem like I have them for life now. Sad
