My issues is, during the surgery, my left facial nerve was injured because i had had a previous parodectomy which made the facial nerves more susceptible to injury. This info was in my history, i told the physician, pre op nurses and the surgeon but he forgot. I can not lift eyebrow. Also my salivary glad was also injured on my right side and i salivate from my incision. My results are lacking in some places. So i had 2 rare complications at the same time. Is this acceptable?

Answer: Two complications following Facelift Thankyou for your question. Sorry to hear of your post-operative complications. Both the complications are unusual ( although the facial nerve injury was more likely because of your history), and having both is even more unusual. The frontal nerve injury, where you are not able to lift your eyebrow, usually recovers with time as the nerve is usually stretched and not cut. The salivary gland injury also usually responds to medical treatment. Please discus the treatments with your surgeon who should be able to help you. All the best1

Answer: Facelift I’m sorry these complications occurred. When you say “acceptable” they are obviously not acceptable to you. You might speak to your surgeon about it and see what is said. And get opinions from a few other doctors. I can understand why you would be upset
