I had a SMAS face and neck lift (with lipo) 13 months ago by fully qualified surgeon. I have read all relevant Q&A here with most recommending complete revision. After much hesitation, Ive decided to see my original surgeon. My question is, how much are these complications directly attributable to the practitioner as they are not so uncommon? I want to give him the opportunity to address the issues but am once bitten, twice shy. Recommendations also please. Mortified Down Under!
I had a necklift 15 months ago. From the beginning I feel pain on right side of the neck all the way to the ear when I slightly get in touch with the area. Also the ear is frequently itchy, and wearing an earring is uncomfortable. Six months ago my doctor told me it passes with time, but the pain has not changed. Is this pain permanent? Can it be treated?
Im 66 years old, 1 year post op, I had midline platysmaplasty. At 3 months, (all pictures attached) I went back asking if we could do a revision. They suggested fraxel lasers and to come back for year consult. I have done 3 of the laser treatments, and went back for year end consultation. Surgeon said nothing more he can do, possibly revision in the future but not now.
I am 14 months post op deep plane face/neck lift. I have had glands shaved, Platysmal bands done and fat transfer. Do I have a cobra neck? Why would I have this result? What is needed for correction? I had no healing problems. I am so upset by my results which my surgeon is aware of but says I have had improvement. My face was not terrible before surgery. Thank you for any replies and advice given.
I face and neck lift and platymasty over 1 year ago. I have horrible strangling in my neck and pulling on my jawline and behind my ears. The dr said he used dissolvable stitches but feel they have not dissolved. Can someone please recommend a surgeon on NY to help me. This has been a nightmare. I have tried, Botox, steroids, red light, hyperbaric chamber, PT, medical massage and nothing hell. I have also tried nerve and muscle medication. I would appreciate your help.
Hi, I had a facelift and neck lift, over a year ago. I have no complaints,however, l have a double chin. I didnt before. And its wide not just under the chin but under the jawline. It isnt dramatic but definitely noticeable enough as people ask. My surgeon suggested Retroplatismal resection of platysma muscle and thyroid suspension Is this standard after so much surgery
I had a necklift around 15 months ago. 4 to 6 weeks after the procedure the left side of my neck dropped. When it dropped, I started experiencing a line of pain going down my neck, where it had dropped. Months later, I started experiencing pain/sourness on the left side, under my chin. The pain under my chin and down my neck intensifies with physical activity or if I'm stressed. And the pain has become worse as time goes by. Pics are 1yr after surgery. Any ideas what's causing this?
Approximately 1 year ago I had a facelift, necklift and upper and blepharoplasty. At this time I still have numbness on the left side of my face from ear to mid-face. In addition, I also have puckering under my chin. Two questions is the numbness permanent and what can be done about puckering. From pictures you can see left side of chin below mouth doesnt move as much as right.
