At 62 I was looking forward to retirement and getting back out socially again. I have always been confident and never paid much attention to my looks. However friends had started asking if my face was bruised because of the discolored spots. I saw LSL add and thought it sounded great.
The laser burned so bad I throw up during the procedure. The next day when the bandages came off the doctor asked if I smoked and said that the black areas on my face usually happened if you smoke. I have never smoked not even 1. It is now 5 months later and I still have a stitch sticking out of the left side of my face that has not dissolved and stays sore. I can not even hold the phone to that ear because of it. The burn on the right side got infected. The huge open sores scabs came off and left huge holes which has since healed leaving raised red scars.

8 months out and my scars are starting to smooth out leaving bright red ones. More people have noticed them thinking I am bleeding and asking what happened. I was offered more laser to "improve" the problem but that is really scary. Lawyers say because I am not a model or something that it isn't worth a law suit for them. Just hate paying someone almost $8000. so I can be scared. Would like to know who feels the same. The facelift part my have been ok if not for the infection pockets that left skin hanging under my jaw bone. And the dark spots on my cheek bones are also coming back even though I use sun screen.

I am so sorry to hear that 8 months later that you are still having problems from your LSL. Have you tried to get a 2nd opinion from another plastic surgeon? Maybe another surgeon may have some ideas or options that may be viable for you to do. I do hope that you will continue to let us know how you are doing. Thanks, Chrystal

Can you sue medical providers in small claims court in GA? I would look into it. When you feel better I sure hope you will get a second opinion on what you can do for the scaring. ~Hugs~

Oh my, it is so disheartening to see what you have been through. I think you should seek the advise from another attorney. How are your scars now?
