So disappointed
$7,000
I was so pleased with the results immediately after and while I was swollen and recovering. I didn’t have any bruising at all. Had my surgery two days before Christmas and was back to work after the weekend of Christmas. During my recovery and up to 7-8 months I had a pouch of skin under my neck and while addressing it with my surgeon he injected something in there and said that should do it. It didn’t. He did the injection like 2-3 more times. After a year and half I look exactly like I did before my surgery. When discussing this with my surgeon he said skin is skin and my daily skin care is a big part of it and he would send his nurses in to go over the options of laser procedures and other things. I was very upset and didn’t even wait for the nurse because it had only been a little over a year and he wanted me to dish out more money to fix something I paid a lot of money for. I refuse to spend another penny for laser treatments 1 and a half after having a neck and lower face lift. I moisturize every and and have stayed out of the sun, so I am not sure what else he expected me to do. This is what it looks like now! ????. Very hesitant to go through this again if this is what will happen 1 1/2 years after. I am not only embarrassed that I look like this again, but it really hits me hard when friends and family ask me if what I had done was suppose to be a temporary fix!!! Now I am back to wearing turtle necks and scarfs. Please if this has happened to anyone else, comment and let me know what your surgeon has done or/and told you why, and did they make it right for you!!

Back to life as usual! Really never had any complaints. Still a little hardness down my jaw bone area, ears and under my chin. I have started using moisturizer and massaging it gently per PA. Will f/u with Dr. Weiler in 3 weeks! My scars are really almost invisible already! I must be a great healer. Here are my newest pics. Leave me comments and let me know what you think! Thank you!

You look totally amazing. Thanks for all the updates. You really do look fantastic, very glamorous & fresh. The surgery seems to have taken years off your overall appearance (you look closer to 36 than 46!). Good luck in the future.

Your posts have helped me with my decision to pursue these same procedures. Love that your procedure/posts are so recent, too. We're the same age, with very similar features & (for you, former-ha!) problem areas. Your results, healing time & scar (in)visibility are amazing! I really appreciate your detailed & candid info in your posts. What has kept me on the fence about proceeding is finding a PS I can feel confident in. I live in Oklahoma and there aren't that many plastic surgeons to begin with & there are very few reviews and ratings about the ones that do practice here. If you (or anyone reading this) knows of someone you would recommend, please let me know! I see a few prospective docs that offer only pics of body work they have done (tummy tuck, breast aug, etc.), but I need to feel comfortable in choosing someone who has expertise in facial procedures since it's so crucial to get excellent results in this area. You were lovely before, but your procedures have just enhanced it & really have taken 15-20 yrs off your appearance! I'm excited to pursue this & glad to know such great, natural results can be achieved & that recovery time & scarring can be so minimal. Heck, I may just take a trip to Louisiana soon. Ha! Thanks for sharing your story & I wish you continued healing & happiness. Btw, be sure & let us know when your husband gives in to the tummy tuck you're wanting. If he's like most men, it's just a matter of time. LOL!

Thank you for all the compliments! I have been very truthful about the whole procedure, the healing, the amazing results! God luck with your procedure!

Hi Britt44, I am a HUGE fan of Dr. Lori Hansen in OKC. She's amazing, maybe set up a consultation with her

Could you tell me if you had just a lower facelift? Did you have any Botox or filler's. I am scheduled for July.

I had a neck lift and lower face lift and that is it. Good luck with your procedure in July. Let me know how it goes!

Healing really well. A couple little bruises by my temples and some numbness and firm areas but other than that, I am doing amazing! Thank you all for all the wonderful compliments and a special thank you to Dr. Weiler and all his staff!

Holy moly, girlfriend, you look stunning! This has probably taken 15 years off! We're a lot a like. I'm a 46 year old with long blonde hair who is dreaming about a neck lift. But listen, you need to break that promise about not ever mentioning the tummy tuck again. It has had an enormous impact on my life. I know we have to triage these things! But you never know when you might get two more nickles to rub together! I've got a whole list of "home improvements" I'd like to get done. ;)

You look fabulous. I think I want to do this procedure. Did you get a neck lift only or with a lower face lift? Reason I ask is I also have a little jowling and want to know if a neck lift will address that in any way.
January 24, 2017
Thank you so much. I am loving all the comments.I had a neck lift and lower face lift. I wasn't quit ready for a full facelift.

Now you look 36

Thank you. I feel so much netter about myself. I was having serious anxiety about how my neck aged me and I couldn't stand to be in any pictures!

I am going to work on getting that neck and lower face lift paid off quickly so I can get my tummy tuck! The neck had to come first though because it was what was seen by everyone! I will get that tummy tuck!!!

My implant shifted twice and had to be removed and replaced, then after 6 months I developed an infection and it had to go. I understand disappointment and the depression that comes with these surgeries. My dr was great and did everything possible at minimum costs each time. He even re_tightened my lift due to sagging after the chin was removed. A fat transfer might be a good solution if you wanted to look into that. Best wishes.
FYI your header said you were satisfied with dr/procedures. Probably from your original reviews
