My surgeon offered to correct,(without charge) a neck lift that I felt had a bad result. Do patients usually allow the same doctor to do revisions? This doctor is board certified, has an accredited surgical suite and a board certified anesthesiologist in his office with 25 years experience. He was recommended to me by 4 people, one of which had a neck lift with a fine outcome. I am comfortable in his office and love his staff.I dont know whether I was just unlucky or neck lifts are not his forte

Answer: Follow your Instinct!
From what you describe I would have little hesitation to trust your neck in the hands of your surgeon again. He has the experience and provides the care you want. Discuss before your revision necklift thoroughly what kind of result you can expect and what limitations you should know about.

Answer: It is quite common that original surgeons do revisions and not other doctors
Most physicians care very much that you obtain a good result from a procedure they do. Most times, if less than optimal results occur, it is not a result of poor technique of the doctor but they would still want to help you get the result that both you and they would like to see. Some may charge a facility fee to cover the costs of the material used and nurses' time and some may not charge depending on the procedure. You could feel free to see a second opinon first and then return to the original surgeon, but it is very common for patients to undergo secondary procedures for improvement by the original surgeon.
