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?
Had facelift 15 months ago, left with distorted tragus, thick and soft. Asked my surgeon for a surgical revission, he didd not recommend. B4 i knew properly what was happening, he injected the surrounding area with steroid, to thin the area. Immediately hot,swollen after. No side-effects were discussed,or the product. Now i am freaking out, that he has put timebomb in my face that will destroy fat and skin and disfigure me. Should I massage? Its been 24hrs, its warm, sore. Will i get disfigured?
I had a facelift and necklift a week ago and my face is really swollen. My friend told me that when she had the same procedure last year, her doctor prescribed Medrol and that it made a huge difference in swelling. I am just worried the swelling might stretch the skin too much and have a negative influence on the final outcome. When I asked my doctor, he said steroids can have serious side effects. What is your opinion?
After one day of my facelift surgery I had on my left side hematoma and the doctor had to open it surgically, prescribed steroids for one month and as told , because of the bleeding and trauma my lip and nose movement will be limited and it may take 2 weeks until now I see no improvement at all I am so worried
I am more lumpy than I was a couple of weeks ago. Both sides but L is worse. I can also pinch a fold of skin above my jawline ( see photos) and I have dents. It feels very lumpy under the skin. I have been massaging daily. Is this normal? I had surgery OS and cannot see my surgeon. Should I get steroid shots? On the plus side I like how I look front on. Any input greatly appreciated. Yes I'm fretting a little as I go back to work soon and I can't hide it with makeup as it's 3D. Thank you.
I have a lot of discomfort from the tightness and scarring on the sides of my neck and ears. I have formed hypertrophic scars that burn, pinch and look awful behind both ears and redness and stretch marks under the ears on the side of my neck. My PS said he could inject steroid into the scars. I had a full facelift 3 months ago. Age 55, good health, non smoker. Also lumpy and uneven upper neck, PS said it would smooth out on its own in time. I like to wear pony tails. :( What's best treatment?
It's exactly 3 months after having a lower facelift. I still am experiencing numbness, pulling, sticking prickly needles in the scars and soreness. Is this normal in the process of healing? At what point should I request a steroid shot into the scars behind my ears?
6 wks post op. had a deep plane facelifet. developed hematoma symmetrically on both sides day after. Drained nearly every day. now i am left with two thick bands of sar tissue inside my cheeks affecting especially my smile ( my face puffs up if i smile). i also have bumps and dimpling on one side more noticeable when i smile where hematomas were drained. my ps is giving me steroid injections (1 so far...no much difference)ultrasound treatments, do massage and warm compresses. what about scar revision? i
Facelift done 9 wk ago no peels. GP thought it was an allergy Ive had allergic reactions in the past, he put me on steroids which made the burning in my face even worse. symptoms: -intense burning (keeping me awake) -very dark redness and rashing - face very hard still have alot of blood under the skin - trickaling feeling - overproduction of oil on my face The reply I got was he had never had anyone with these symptoms in over 30 years of doing the surgery and suggest I speak to a neurologist.Ive had severe burning in face A&E gave me neuropathic meds, how long does this burning last. Also the blood under skin in face and neck is not disappearing and is sore to touch and uncomfortable, still look swollen and my face is constantly wet with oil since the face lift what causes the excess oil. In great pain and discomfort don't know what to do how long will this all last cant take much more. only had surgery to repair damage by assault to right side of face wish I hadnt bothered
