I live in the UK & did serious research to find the right surgeon.The person I chose was, at the time, the president of the Brit Assoc of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons. Reviews in professional literature & from patients were exceptionally positive. However, 2 1/2 years after the surgery & I still have extensive numbness: both sides of face, neck front & back, ears, behind ears, areas of scalp - surgeon said this happens in only 2% of cases & it was perhaps due to my pernicious anaemia - what????
