I had a partial face lift 9 months ago with many complications. My jaw line is uneven and droopy. I look worse than before the surgery. What should I do next? Not sure I could go thought another surgery with him. Should I ask for him to pay for someone else to fix my face?

Answer: Facelift Results
As other Surgeons have noted, the photo does not provide adequate information to render any judgment on your result. The best course of action would be to sit down with your operating surgeon and review the pre- and postop photos. Although the limited photo does not appear "droopy" at first glance, much depends on how you looked prior to surgery. I believe that Dr. Minniti's response is thoughtful and concise; the real issue is whether your expectations were or were not met with primary surgery and whether revision surgery will be beneficial.

Answer: Partial Facelift and Bad Results at 9 Months
I would post preop and postop pictures from at least front and lateral gaze in good lighting. That would allow for some evaluation of results. With regard to the result now, you should probably go to see another surgeon for an opinion. Find the plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who has performed hundreds or thousands of facelifts.
