Is It Unusual for an Original Surgeon to Do a Revision After a Poor Result?

It is very common for the original surgeon to do a revision surgery.  Some people like this as they are often done for no additional charge, but others prefer to go to someone new.  it is really up to your preference but if you feel comfortable with this surgeon and he is offering to correct the surgery for no charge that sounds like a good deal to me.  Good luck!

Selecting your surgeon for a #revision is a personal preference. It's usually best to wait 6 to 12 months depending on the reason for #revision and you see a board-certified plastic surgeon who is highly experienced with the type of cosmetic surgery you are seeking. It is important to discuss your concerns at length with your surgeon as well. 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. 

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.

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.

If you are not completely happy with your results but you are comfortable with your surgeon, it is likely best to have that surgeon do the revisions.  First, economically, the surgeon is offering the revision for free.  Second, that surgeon is the most familiar with your anatomy and the procedure perfromed during the original operation.  

 

Good Luck.
