I experienced extreme laxity and volume loss after cheek filler gone wrong, followed by agressive dissolving. I am looking into vertical midface lifts, SMAS lifts with fat transfer etc. I do not think fat transfer alone is enough as my skin is like an overstretched balloon right now. Filling alone has just dragged it down. Thank you for any advice.
I had a upper face lift 6 mo ago under local anesthesia. the left eye was pulled tight during the procedure, so he went back in to lessen the pull. That side of my cheek is now brownish in color, and has not responderd to 4 broadband light treatments. He also injected a steroid 2 months after to help with bruising, which resulted in atrophy in that cheek, which he used a filler to correct. It is still bumpy. he wants to use fractionated laser Next. Are there any other options?
I had a facelift six months ago. The scars on one side of my face healed in this lumpy way. It feels like hard ridges to the touch. Can this be corrected? I have been religiously massaging with scar cream and its not improving. Absolutely hates this and want to correct as soon as possible. What are options and cost ?
I had an endoscopic brow & cheek lift in Nov 23. In Jan 24 post surgery swelling appeared uniform. In Feb 24 it became more apparent under the eye area creating swollen festoons. Im now 6 months post and it's still VERY swollen. My doctor says its a normal side effect and it'll go by itself in a years time. I tried radio frequency and massages but no improvement. Is this a normal side effect after 6 months or should I be worried? Is there a treatment?

Im 6 months post and it's very swollen. My doctor says it'll go by itself in a years time, and he cannot remove it w/ a needle because the liquid is mixed inside my face. I tried Indiba and massages but no improvement. Is this a normal side effect? Should I be worried? What I can to make it go away? Thank you.
Hello, I had a full deep plane face/necklift in May, with seroma, infection, necrosis and am left with some pretty bad scarring. Not only along incisions but lumps of scar in my neck and face. My Dr. says to accept an move on. I still have a lot of pain an a feeling like inflammation and spasm like pain. I saw another PS, who quoted me 18000 to fix. Is there any way to help pain and healing non surgically? My face also gets puffy and swollen off and on and can feel hard ridges.
I had 3500 grafts 5.5 months ago. While I appreciate the full results are not yet to be seen I am concerned about the density of my hairline compared to the rest of the front of my head. It seems very heavy. I include some photos from today plus some post surgery. What can I do?
Around 6 months ago I had a lift with incisions within my harline (not sure if this is called Ponytail or subperiosteal). This procedure lifted my cheeks, temples and brow. I Specifically asked my surgeon not to give me a fox eye look and now my eyes are upturned. In particular, my right eye is extremely upturned and a lot more so than the left. My eyes also look smaller than before. Will this improve over time? If it doesn't improve what are my options? I've included a current and old photo.
I had surgery 6 months ago, lower face and neck. Looked amazing straight afterwards but my jawline isnt as sharp anymore, it looks like my jowls are still there and I have a swelling underneath my chin still from lipo. I am due to see my surgeon in the next month but he did seem to think its still swelling. Had a problem with the wound behind my ear that wouldnt heal for the first 3 months so wondering if that could be contributing to slow healing
Hi! I am 44, don't smoke, exercise regularly. I picked the surgeon I thought was the best even though she was 2x more expensive than anywhere else. I had full face, neck, chemical peel. First 2 months I am very happy with my results. About month 3 a lot of what I wanted fixed started to come back. I discussed concerns with the Dr but she says my face is much better than it was and I should be happy. Should I be? What do you think about my results at 6 months? What can I do?
