I had my face lift on March 13 and from the second day on it has been a complete nightmare. The second day I could not even lift my head up my neck hurt so bad. I had to get a pill for pain that was stronger than the ones they first gave me. Then at the end of the first week I started throwing up and threw up for 10 hours straight and had to go to the er.

They let me go home but I was bed bound for 1 week and couch bound for 1 week. I was so ill I couldnt even stand up for any length of time and eating was out the question. I went from 113 pounds to 102. On top of all of this my left side exploded and it went from left ear all the way down my neck. I still have it and am still trying to cure it.

My own doctor looked at it and was shocked at what she saw and ordered me a med that would help to heal it. Why didnt my Plastic Surgeon order something?

They took a pretty woman and scared her. I suppose I look younger since they did my neck and lifted my eyes with a brow lift but right now I am so sick of trying to heal this stupid thing on my left side. I am going to Vegas in Sept for my grandaughter's wedding and I dont think it will be healed by then.

My daughter is going to be so upset when she sees my neck. She and her brother both told me not to do it but I was determined to do it.

Yes, by all means,name your doctor. It may help others living in your area whom want this procedure. It is our only consumer report guild on plastic surgeries.

I agree with the others, the doctors name would help others not have to go through what you state you went through.

It's very sad to say but most doctors only wants the money. After the facelift and removal of stickes this is what my doctor said "everything looks ok I'll see you in 3 months for the after pictures". After pictures when he even know the face still swollen (to his advantage). I had my facelift 2 months ago and my face is very swollen and it feels like the skin is streching out.
