It cost me my allotment of funds set aside for "upgrading" (11,000.00.) I am 1 1/2 yrs out, there is zero effect from any of the procedures done (confirmed by friends & family.) I have appt. this week to have this done all over again. Not sure if they are inept, not supervised, what the problem was, or is absolutely no results common in the plastic surgery world? If it is a success 11,000 won't have been wasted, I'd feel much better for sure. Should I allow the re-do, please advise!

Answer: Difficult to say with pictures If you can add photographs here of what you looked like before surgery, immediately after surgery and now - I ll be able ot advise more specifically. The success of th eface-lif tis down to a number of factors - there are factors related to the surgeon - their expertise, experience and skill and factors related to the patient - quality of skin, level of collagen and elastin, genetics. Did you see before and after pictures from your surgeon initially - what made you feel he/she was the surgeon for you? If you trusted him initially, then thre is no reason not to trust him/her again. Discuss your concerns with your surgeon prior to carrying out more surgery. If you are not on the same page as your surgeon or have lost faith in him, then you might never be happy with the result. I hope this is of helpBW

Answer: When to Consider a Facelift Revision Typically, it's best to wait 6 to 12 months depending on the reason for #revision. As with all #cosmetic surgery, results will be rewarding if expectations are realistic. With any surgical #procedure and #revision, there are some risks of unhappy outcome or other complications which your surgeon should discuss with you during your consultation. Your procedure should always be performed by a #PlasticSurgeon who is board-certified and has a great deal of experience specializing in cosmetic #surgery. You will then greatly improve your chances of getting the result you desire, and, without the need for another revision surgery.

Answer: Re-do facelift Hello and thank you for your questions.It is possible to have no improvement but this would be highly unlikely. I had a patient that felt she looked no better, 3 months after surgery. Once I showed her how she looked before surgery, she was very happy. This may not be your case as you did not provide pictures. It is also hard to advise you as you did not provide information as to what was performed. Not all facelifts are the same. If you look at case # 0035, you will see a woman that had a SMAS facelift by another doctor who was unhappy. After her revision surgery doing a laser vertical facelift, she was happy. I hope your next procedure goes well.Sincerely,Dr. K

Answer: Unhappy with Facelift results Hello Riverside1-Being happy after any plastic surgery procedure is a common goal between patient and surgeon. It's easy to say but harder to achieve. It starts with being well educated and that generally starts with making sure that you have someone actually trained in the plastic surgery. If you haven't done so already, get a second opinion and make it a good one. Find a board certified plastic surgeon certified by a member board of the the American Board of Medical Specialties. This certification will at least steer you towards someone who know how to be safe. You can then judge how could of a tissue sculptor they are by looking at their postoperative photos, not only facelifts but look at all areas of the face, breast and body. A reputable, good plastic surgeon should have a good sense of 3D spatial aesthetic balance and should be able to sculpt all areas of the body equally well. Either they have that sensibility or they don't. Your current surgeon may be this person, but regardless, get a second opinion from someone that does have these credentials. Choose wisely and spend your money wisely on recognized value. Good luck.
