I had a mini lower facelift to tighten my jawline and the swelling is so Obvious where the incision lines were above my ears on each side. Its ripples and soft tissue swelling, it makes it look like wrinkles but with fluid in them. I really doctor but they act like it's not visible.. What can be done?
My surgeon suggested the Ellevate procedure to rectify facelift problems but it doesnt appear to have made any difference! Help I had a facelift in January 2019 and after a year my jowls and neckline still appeared to be sagging and I had banding from my chin to neck. My surgeon suggested Ellevate which I did in January this year but as far as I can see there is no difference on the before and after photos. Can you please give me your thoughts as I dont feel that I have had value for money as apart from now having one band instead of two, there is very little difference. I feel this isnt the end result I was promised.
5 months post deep plane facelift w/ platysmaplasty. This ropey band on the jawline appeared two weeks post op. Surgeon says it was bleeding when releasing the retaining ligaments. Ive received 4 steroid with F5U injections. Surgeon will not do any more. There is a distinct line of demarcation on one cheek lateral aspect, surgeon says they are internal permanent sutures. Cobra neck? Will these resolve or what are tx options?
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 facelift 6 months ago. Since then, gradually, this skin under the sides of my chin has gotten looser. It looks very unappealing. I spoke to my surgeon who insisted that it looked better than before so I should be fine. Eventually, he said he could tighten the skin by making incision under my chin. I am reluctant to do that. What are my options? Should I have the revision?
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?
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
Im desperate to fix my botched facelift. A surgeon in turkey performed a mini facelift when I was 23 years old, he wont confirm whether it was smas or skin only. I developed thick scarring and pixie ear deformity which he has tried to fix 4 times. Im unemployed after recently losing my job and I may have to withdraw from my university course in September if I cant get this fixed.
