I have asked already on this forum, what can I do about awful Facelift I had, which left me with terrible scars and severe depression. I got answers that it will NOT be easy to fix and I need an really specialized surgeon... PLEASE help me before I get mad, I will pay any money to have it done perfectly. I can not put my hair back, so I do not do any sport, I avoid going out, meeting people etc. HELP!
Answer: The Best Plastic Surgeon For Revisional Facelift At this mature stage in my career, a large majority of my practice involves revision surgery when patients have had unpleasant experiences elsewhere. Revisional facelift surgery requires skill, precision, and restoration to all natural anatomical landmarks. For example, in carefully studying your photos, posterior auricular scars can be removed and resewn without tension by moving the deeper tissues into place first. Satyr-ear correction involves resuspending the face past the original earlobe so that instead of a pulled ear (as seen in your photos), there is the recreation of an earlobe that can handle a normal earring. I am fully compassionate regarding your concerns. In view of the photos you have submitted, a revisional surgery should only be performed by a plastic surgeon with the utmost experience.

Answer: Revision of face lift scars Based on these photos it doesn't look that your situation is that bad.I am sure that any plastic surgeon with expertise in face lift would do good correction of scars and pixie ears. Evaluations of before and after photos on line may give you an idea where to seek a help. Good luck.

Answer: Face lift revision It all depends on what you feel needs to be fixed. You have only shown the scars and not the status of the skin or soft tissues of the cheeks, neck etc to evaluate if you need a repeat face lift for tightening or just simply scar revision. There are benefits of having generous hair to obscure the scalp scars but if there is not enough skin on the face to "replace" these scars then you have to do a "local" scar revision. If the original face lift was sutured too tightly it can cause scars to spread. A revision of the scar would likely provide some improvement since there has been some relaxation of the skin in the interim. The skin tone in the region of the tragus unfortunately is not a good tone match to that of the ear on the right with the loss of normal tragal contour. The pixie ear can be improved but will leave a vertical/oblique scar below the new corrected ear lobe. Best of luck.

Answer: Scar corrections Thank you for your question and I am sorry that you have had such an experience.Unfortunately, facelift surgery as with all surgery can have certain risks and most surgeons strive to not get any complications but we all do. With that in mind, in our clinic we do see a lot of revision cases of facelifts carried out elsewhere and have experience in dealing with the concerns that you have stated.The pixie ear deformity can be addressed. This may or may not require a full facelift to fix it and is something that we would assess at the time of consultation. With the scars, depending on the overall laxity and give of the skin would determine if these scars could be completely or partly removed and made neater.Incidentally, did you have stitches that needed to be removed after the surgery or have metal clips placed? The scarring does seem to suggest this. We carry out over 600 facelifts a year and within this are a number of similar cases to what you have described. I hope this is of some help to youKind regards
