10 months ago I had a face/ necklift witch has left me with a list of problems. They removed 1,5 cm of hair on both sides and 3 cm in the back of my head. Leaving me with a odd hairline to withdrawn from my face. Loss of sideburns, bas scarring in back of my head. Around my earlobes. Pixieear. But the main problem I want to address here is my neck. They cut my platysma and both the bands on the sides. 4 bands. They soon came back after 6 weeks.Now I look like this. Horrible. What happend ?
Answer: Face/Neck Lift I would approach this problem conservatively at first . . .

Answer: Loss of hair line after a face lift Thank you for your question and for attaching a photo. Unfortunately there are not a lot of great solutions to restore your hairline. An experienced, well trained plastic surgeon plan incisions to make sure the hairline is maintained and the incision lines are hidden as well as possible. A dramatic change to your hair line is an obvious sign of a face lift and is hard to correct. It can be made a little better, but I say "it is a long run for a short slide". As for the bands, it would be better to have a resting view to determine what would need to be done. I would find an experienced board certified plastic surgeon who is an ASAPS member in your area. Call the office and make sure they perform a lot of face lift procedures and revisions of face lifts. You will probably have to pay for a second opinion, but an in person consultation to determine what can be done to repair the hair line and potentially do something with your bands in the neck is best at this point. Best of luck.

Answer: Facelift incision placement, etc. Thank you for the question and for sharing your story. I'm very sorry to hear about your situation. Other than poorly planned incisions, I'm not sure what to say about the hairline issue. In my practice, in addition to face and neck work, we also do hair transplantation via Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) method. I have used this successfully to restore the hairline and temporal tuft hair in patients who have had facelifts elsewhere. If a revision of the lift is also needed, that should be done first. Then the hair work is done a few months later. Thank you and best of luck!

Answer: Facelift and hair loss It is unfortunate that your hairline got destroyed, as it is a tell tale sign of a facelift. When facelift is performed by a facelift expert, the hairline is mostly preserved. It is possible to correct this deformity, but the results are suboptimal. It is always best to preserve the hairline in the first place. As for your platysma distortion, it would be ideal to examine you with the muscle at rest, to determine if another surgery would be appropriate. Seek out an experienced facelift specialist for an in person evaluation.
