Can I Be Helped with Revision Surgery or Some Other Procedure?

Thank
you for submitting your question. The pixie
ear can be corrected and the face lift can be revised.  You will need to wait a minimum of one year to allow the
scar to soften. Discuss your concerns with your surgeon. Best Wishes.

    I would definitely recommend waiting a full year before contemplating anything else.  The pixie ears can be improved.  The other things need to be examined in one year to determine what will be needed for improvement or if improvement is likely after undergoing another procedure.

Thank you for your question and for the photos. I am sorry to hear about the difficulties that you have had following your face lift. While not everyone heals perfectly, there arre usually things that can be done to improve the issues that are bothering you. Being that you have had 3 attempts to correct this, I would suggest a different approach. I think that getting a few second opinions from board certified plastic surgeons in your area that have extensive experience with face lifts may be helpful. While not everything can be completely corrected, the areas that bother you can certainly be improved.

I do suggest waiting as long as possible. Your face has now been operated on 4 times in the last 11 months, which can create a significant amount of scar tissue. Waiting for this to soften will allow for more improvement in the future.

Best of luck with your face and hang in there.

Dear GayleTroyer,


I think it is time for you to get a second opinion because it sounds like your limit has been reached

Thankfully, you still have healing to go with room for improvement

Seek out a few experience surgeons and pick one that you get along with and whose results you like

I am sorry that your outcome has been less than desirable.   I am not sure what the lump represents.  Exam in  warranted for that.  The Pixie ear can be improved with surgery.  The scars may be able to be improved (Steroid injections,surgery).  Consult with a board certified PS for second, third opinions.
