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 facelift 8 months ago. Aside from not having positive results, I am in pain on the right side of my face. I feel lots of pulling and tightness as well as hearing loss in my right ear and blurry vision in my right eye. My surgeon refuses to do anything about it, infect he has been avoiding me when I go to his office for an appointment. Please help. What can thi be and what should my next step be?
Hello, I had a deep plane facelift, coronal brow lift, and lower lid blepharoplasty nearly one year ago. I know everyone is different, but, for me, the healing process has been extremely painful and slow. I still feel like I have a tight vice around my neck and have pain and swelling along the incision sites. Everything feels extremely tight and I believe it looks this way as well. My quality of life has suffered tremendously. My question is: What can I do and will this end?
Had facelift 5 weeks ago in another country. Scars I front of and behind ears. Told no sutures to be removed. Noticed very painful behind one ear in the area top of ear where my glasses touch. Close inspection shows an inflammed hole with a wire type of suture sticking out quite sharp and possibly another blue suture same hole. Cannot go back to surgeon as too far away. I think it might be a permanent deep suture and if this is the case will it be there forever irritating my skin? Other side is ok.
I had an R facelift 88 days ago and these are todays photos. The scars are red and puckered and my ears are still painful. My surgeon says this is normal. He said it was because this is my 2nd facelift. He also told me to go and purchase some scar cream! Do you agree?
Im a 57 yr old woman who had a deep tissue face/neck lift 1.5 years ago. Initially I was pleased but eventually, at 7 months, the lift started falling accompanied by constant pain along the incision lines and through the neck. Hypertrophic scarring began and has not stabilized. I have a new double chin and jowls are back. I need to hide my ears as the scarring has kept growing around them, circling the bottoms where I feel a constant pull and pain..Any ideas as to what has happened?
My Absorbable sutures in neck and under ears are not absorbed after 3 months. They are Causing sharp poking pain when touched and showing just under the skin. The PS surgeon i used said he can do nothing about this. Please any advice is appreciated. Can I go to any gp clinic and ask to have them cut out. They seem like I have them for life now. Sad
I had a mini face/neck lift 5.5 years ago - from the start I had issues healing. I had some puffy very sore marks along my jawline. The stinging nerve pain started & has continued all this time . Most of the time its tolerable, however, I have recently moved to the beach & with the constant wind, the stinging pain is worse. I dont want to have this get worse, is there anything I should be doing to make this pain less or stop? Thank you,
