May 13, 2013 I had plastic surgery. Included was upper and lower eye, mid face lift and neck lift. As you can see in the after photo, I look worse in the mid face and no improvement in the neck. I saw the doctor twice after surgery and he thinks he did fine. He blames my thin face. I paid $13,500 which is a lot of money for me. Shouldn't the doctor admit he failed and give me a partial refund? I feel very depressed as I was expecting a lot better results.

Answer: Worse I see what your concerns are but you do look much better then before surgery though your neck and lower face would benefit from further surgery. The price you paid for the procedure is also very small compared to what the cost could have been. I would need to see your operative note to see what was actually done before commenting further.

Answer: Facial cosmetic surgery in men is very tricky - warning: long answer ahead Hi there. First of all, it is apparent that your before photo is on the right and the after photo is on the left. Correct? I think Dr. Samir Shureih is mistaking your preoperative photo for your postoperative photo based on his comments below.Okay, unless I'm confused, I think you have a terrific result from your eyelid surgery. You look awake, bright and interested as opposed to your hang dog look in the before photo. And...............you don't look overdone. Think Bruce Jenner, Kenny Rogers, Burt Reynolds just to name a few. So be happy with your eyes. The numbness and pulling sensation you are experiencing will get better over time. Okay, the mid face and neck - not so great. Facelifts don't help the midface that much and I think you may be a good candidate for some fat transfer or fillers to your nasolabial folds. Because you are a man, this should be done conservatively. You don't want to be all puffed up like Mickey Rourke. Your neck could use another procedure to decrease your banding. There is a procedure sometimes done in men where the excess skin is removed and the muscle bands treated by a direct incision on the anterior neck. Because men have coarse skin, the scar is usually acceptable and recovery is easier than a re-do full face lift. That being said, I really don't think your mid face or you neck detract that much from your ruggedly, handsome appearance. Remember - the enemy of good is better and the goal of realistic plastic surgery is to make you look as good as possible for your age.As for a refund - that's tricky. You paid for the surgeon's time and effort. I never guarantee a result because the human condition is just too unpredictable. My guess is that your surgeon did not guarantee anything except that he would do his best. And I personally think the improvement you got from your eye surgery was worth $13,500. And unlike any electronic gizmo or car or furniture or fancy vacation, this surgery will last 10 - 15 years.Don't stew over this. Check out some really bad male plastic surgery and you will feel like you dodged a bullet.
