Please help. Unnecessary procedures for a 20 y.o Had a thread lift and fat grafts (cheeks, chin, nasoblasial folds, forehead) one week ago. Face now looks distorted, unnatural, unlike myself at all. Face looks stretched, pulled much too wide and unnaturally fat and puffy - eyes and lips have gotten smaller, while nose has been pulled wider and bigger. Unable to smile due to heaviness of fat injected into nasoblasial folds... in addition to extreme headaches. Would give anything to reverse it, realize now how harmful and unnecessary

Answer: Thread facelift I thought the threads for thread facelift were removed off the market for that use??The threads, a barbed thread, still on the ,market looking for some use???You need to wait till all the swelling is gone. If you are early after the thread lift, I would remove the thread as soon as possible before scarring of the tissue. Wait on the fat graft till complete healing 3-6 month, then re-evaluate and decide what is available to you. At twenty years of age I need to see the pre-operative pictures before I can justify a facelift in a twenty years old. But there are some doctors that will justify un-necessary cosmetic surgery for the money.Samir Shureih MD. FACSsshureih@msn.com

Answer: Reversing Thread Lifts and Fat Grafting Can you send some pictures?I cannot even imagine being 20 and having a facelift.In the meantime, please find a surgeon you can trust to help you through this. It will take time for everything to settle down, and in the meantime you need to make sure all is healing appropriately. If you send pictures it is much easier to comment, and being 20 years old it is impossible to imagine. Wishing you all the best.
