This is what happened: all these years later, it opened up from the inside. If you look closely, you can see the thread he used inside coming out. I went to two emergency rooms, but they wouldn’t help me due to it being from plastic surgery. Please think carefully about this before proceeding, and make sure to read all the doctor reviews.

Not happy

Erica Montesinos
I should’ve been honest from the beginning at first I really was happy and then I just left my review but I need to be honest with the outcome of my procedure I first told the doctor I wasn’t happy with my saggy eyelids so he talked me into that mid facelift as I stated in my review after the procedure I was happy but over the years I just let it go and I never came on and spoke how I really feel when I healed but I think I need to help other women I have never looked the same my face looks like I’m all squished up and it looks like I had a facelift and it’s something I told him I did not wanna look like and he told me it would look very natural I smile and my smile is no longer the same because my eyes crunch up and my face makes this weird Fuck that I just can’t explain but I no longer look like me I have a totally different look not just like I had a facelift only but just not me my face is gone I would’ve rather aged and let it be and look like I do now I have suffered with this for years I hate the way I look and I really need to be honest so maybe I can help somebody else two years after the procedure I went to see my aunt we surprised her I kid you not she did not know who I was at first everybody has told me the truth after I healed that it just made me look different my eyelids sag it did nothing for my eyelids it just made me not like myself even more than before I had this procedure and he’s very rude he was awful to me we had a few situation to Car and he was not nice at all I wish I’d never get it and I regret it to this day

I had an endoscopic brow lift 4 months ago, the pain is unbearable and I hate what it has done to my face. Worst mistake of my life. I absolutely hate it and all the other procedures my surgeon did.

Thank you so much I have finally found the best doctor ever I’m glad I could help you stay away from this awful doctor

I’m sorry you are experiencing this. Trust me I get it. I don’t look like myself either. I flew to Beverly Hills and everything that was done by my expert surgeon has ruined my eyes and face. I am in pain and do not look like myself. I am now at 8 months. Biggest mistake of my life. I know what it is like living with what theses surgeons have done to us. Terrible. And they don’t care.

I’m so very sorry for you I know how that feels I don’t even look like myself I went to visit my aunt that I hadn’t seen in four or five years she did not even know who I was I’m telling you that’s how bad it was she didn’t know who I was I know how you feel I hope you’re better

Update on Browlift/Midface Lift

Erica Montesinos
You will have some numbness for alittle bit with the brow lift & in the head and could get headaches, I suffer from headaches so for me worse than the advarage person, around your mouth with the mid face lift you will be numb I was only numb 2 months around mouth, now with the endoscopic brow lift I was only numb 2 months and a few days and now barely numb and pain went away the 1st week, so pain was easy with both mid face lift and browlift, I now have itchey head my head itches often, from the endoscopic brow lift, it stared 2 months afte surgery, but it is nothing that's horrible or that ways me down so I have to tell you this was so worth it and healing process is so much better & easier than I had expected, not bad at all and I'm seeing it get better & better both the brow lift and mid face lift every month and will every month up to 1 year & you will have some after tingling and weird sharp pain (nothing major) after like 2months in as the nerves are all getting back to normal but nothing that would stop me from ever doing it all over again its amazing how fast I healed and swelling went down so fast I only have some cheek swelling thats still there and will take more months to come my dr told me to fully go away but nothing major or embarassing.. I'm so happy and would do it all over again!
