No surgery is a 100% safe. You always need to be well informed and then make a choice. There are a lot of risks in a mini face or neck lift that you need to look up and educate yourself and then discuss with your surgeon. Some include poor result, need for revision surgery, numbness of face or ears, paralysis of the facial nerve branches leading to stroke like appearance.If done conservatively overall risk profile of a mini facelift in experienced hands is good.RegardsDr Janjua
I'm so sorry that you had a bad experience, but I think you are doing the right thing now. I was one of the lucky ones who avoided the thread lift and was always suspicious that it was going to be ineffective. Unfortunately, the appeal of such minimally invasive procedures and the gigantic promises of natural results is very tempting for both patients and surgeons.As far as the neck lift, it's very safe, but I would suggest you do a little research into exactly what the surgical plan is. I'd hate to see you waste your time and money again. The fact of the matter is that if you want real change, you need to perform real surgery. Furthermore, I have found that the more invasive I am, the more natural the patients results are.Good Luck!
