Woman, 49 yo. Deep plane facelift, temporal lift and upper bleph in April -21. Choose a very reputable plastic surgeon. Surgery went well but had complications - reaction to Nitro paste and delayed healing, bad scabbing etc. Now concerned with placement of scars away from earlobe crease, also creates a "fold".
