I had two previous facelift procedures done (one in1998, incluiding a coronal brow lift, and a second one in 2002) with the same Dr. Excellent results with no scarring. In april 2014 had a third and deeper one (face SMAS, neck and endoscopic browlift) with different Dr. This time results are not so impressive. Endoscopic eyebrow lift dissapointing compared to coronal. Healing process was long with severe bruising (3 nights in hospital). Concerned about front scar on left ear. What can be done?

Answer: Postoperative healing of scar. It is early in your postoperative period. When the scars are healed at three months than revision to be considered. Some doctors will wait up to six to 12 months before considering wound revision. At this time I would recommend good wound care with sun block, regular scar massage and follow-ups with your surgeon. Consider a second opinion with another surgeon in your area who can examine the wound further.

Answer: Poor closure Thanks for the pictures. At this point all that can be done is to allow healing. This is not a technically well executed closure. You may need a revision of this scar a year from now.
