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?
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?
Hello, I had a full facelift, brow lift, fat graft, lipo in my chin. It is almost 13 months post op and I am still tight around my chin and ears and numb all over my face, chin and ears. I look great but worried that tightness and numbness will never go away. Please tell me if I can do anything to help the heeling. Thank you very much.
I am a young 27 year old male who has soft loose elastic skin on my face and body. I have been exploring Facelifts and Renuvion, but am concerned that my skin will revert back to the way it is now in the future, even after a facelift. When I pull my skin tight like how it would be done with a facelift, it gives my jawline the definition I want and firm tightness. I was 195 lb max weight so there was 'some' fluctuation but I was not severely obese. (Im 155 lb now) .
6 months ago, I had a Full Facelift, Dual Plane Brow Lift, Lower Lid Blepharoplasty, neck plication with liposuction and CO 2 laser skin resurfacing peel. Also, my earlobes were modified and attached to my cheek bones area. I look great and very natural. However, I still have a lot of tightness in my neck and ears. My face and neck get red, hot and tacky. Is it normal? What can I do to speed up the recovery? Thank you very much
Its been 18months since full face, neck, and brow lift to lift eyelids. I am in enormous distress, from tightness and numbness and a burning sensation under my skin. My head and scalp feels like in a vice. I have had MRI and cat scan to head. Nothing seems to show up. My life has become very small and I fear for myself. Please, any advise and to what possible cause for what I am experiencing would be helpful. I am now 68 years, are generally healthy and outgoing.
I look great six months after my neck/Lower facelift, very natural, etc. in fact, the results looked great pretty quickly. However, Im still feeling tight in my neck and ears. Is it abnormal? I have (only very occasionally) had that strangling feeling in my neck. However, thats uncommon, and again, the results look so good many people I dont even know want to go to this doctor!
i had temple/cheek/lower face lift 6 weeks ago. yesterday i fell skiing, going fairly fast. my right knee ran quite hard into my chin a bit to the right, i felt the jolt in my teeth. i didn't fall on my face. right side of my face feels a bit tight, like few weeks ago when it was still bruised. should i be worried that the fall messed up the face lift in any way? is the incision all healed up? i don't see any swelling or bruising on my face, not even below my chin where my knee ran into.
I am 3 weeks Post Op. My Doctor said I could return to bike riding & exercise. Because my neck still feels really tight & swollen, I am hesitant to ride as it requires major head turning. Will leaning forward on my handle bars & possibly turning my head quickly from side to side damage my neck & lower facelift in any way? I also dance with lot of twirling partner's arms overhead. Not sure how comfortable I am returning to biking, twirling and yoga. I appreciate your thoughts on when I can return to
