Im 50 years old and went to NY to see a top doctor for a lower face, neck and brow lift. I am devastated at my results but scared to pay for another procedure and have it either look overly pulled and fake or not work again. My original doctor tells me she thinks it was a good result but there is no way please give me an honest answer and advice on whether its possible to do a good, natural and safe revision? Why would it have gone so wrong and how much would a good revision be?
Hello. Im 8 months post op from a deep place facelift, necklift. Ive taken care of my scars as advised during healing with silicone gel. As healing has progressed the scars have branched out and slightly elevated. My ear lobes are also not the same and look odd to me. My ears are also still very sensitive to any touch. Should I be thinking revision? Lasers? Steroid? Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.
Had facelift, neck lift, lower bleph, lip lift, and brow lift in May 2024. I noticed a dimple and crease in my left cheek two months later when I could finally smile. Flew back to my Dr who said it was a volume issue, and injected three syringes of Voluma into my cheeks. It never felt or looked right after that, and after a year of trying to convince myself that it was ok, I contacted my Dr. and we had a FaceTime call. I showed him the dimple and crease again, and now he tells me that I need a revision and that he would fix the one cheek, even though the other cheek isnt smooth. Do I let him fix only one cheek?
It has been over one year after my deep plane facelift. On my right side when I smile, I have a strange line/depression running from the corner of my eye up towards my hairline, as well as lumps on my upper cheek and a depression on the upper cheek area. It i visible only when I smile. This area is also still somewhat numb. It is noticeable and distressing. I try not to smile and wear my hair to cover it. Can this be fixed??
I had a mid face/neck lift+ upper bleph 8 months ago. The scars on my lids and chin healed great. The scars on my ears are still bright red and raised. I seeked out the surgery because of jowls and sagging in the jawline. I communicated this clearly to my surgeon. I'm disappointed because I don't see great results. I feel like all I got from the lift was horrible scars. Why would this happen and what should I do moving forward?
After 4 weeks of my facelift my jowls slowly started to pop back out. Now not as bad as before but the side that was worse (left side) is really embarrassing me again. The PS insisted a FL would address my jowls. But it hasnt. The procedure was SMAS plication. With neck lift which part was very successful. Do I need another facelift. How can this be corrected. As the FL was very invasive and painful with recovery not easy.
So Im planning to have a revision because I had a skin only midface where PS removed tissue from my lateral cheeks and removed 1 cm of skin, in which distorted my whole contour and eyes look slanted side of face makes my face look square an pulled look, he did not touch the SMas only removed tissue and cut skin, what are the risks of having a revision to reposition the smas is it more risks of nerve damage skin necrosis and hematomas? I read that a revision is more difficult im only 40 years
I am 56, 10st 7, light skin. I had neck and lower facelift Jan 2024 Which left me with fatty bulges in my lower cheeks. After 12 months of hoping theyd reduce my surgeon said that he thought my jowls had effectively been pulled higher up my face. He said normally they disappear naturally with the stretching of the skin but in my case they hadnt. In early April 2025 i had revision surgery which included redoing the platysmaplasty as my bands had relapsed and also liposuction to the cheek bulges. As you can see from the after picture this has not worked. I am seeing my surgeon again on 11June but was hoping for some ideas as to how this can be resolved as he doesnt seem sure how to correct this. I surely cant be the only person this has happened to? Any help would be appreciated please. These hideous bulges have sapped my confidence for 18 months now. Thank you.
