Mini facelift Dec of 2017 - I was left with bad scarring after a mini lift. (Photos)

March 19, 2018
Asked By:MallolDollApril2017 in North Carolina, NC

I’ve followed up with my surgeon and he recommends me wait. I’ve had steroid injections at least three times and little change. I’m very unhappy with the outcome and was sure I could trust my surgeon who only specializes in facial surgery. These raised scars hurt and I feel so embarrassed about getting the surgery. Any tips are greatly appreciated, I really hope I can improve the outcome.
