Worse Mistake

$12,000

I am still bleeding behind my ear from my face lift one year ago.

I can no longer wear earrings or eye make-up because of constant watering of my eyes.
I am not symetrical in my face & look odd. I am still in pain I have had to seek help. I use creams & icepacks but nothing seems to work. I would never do this again. Not a great experience!!

Hi, I am so very sorry that you have had such a horrid experience. I also went to this doctor for a consult. I did not get a good feeling from him right off the bat and walk out mid consult. How are you doing now?

Checking in two years after your last post and wondering how you are doing?

Pain Pain Pain

Well one full year. I have been looking at other reviews on why I still hurt. Seems I thought my neck was done but the operative report shows I did not have a neck lift. I am so tight because it was just pulled up & no muscle done. I am still breaking out back of Left ear. Really a mess Doctor Gouverne in Corpus Christi Texas!!!Guess I will make yet another ER Visit!!

Ohhhh. So sorry you have had such a miserable experience. Is your doc willing to help you?

Oh, this sounds like one of those surgeons who was over his head and did not have the competence and skill to do a FL. Is that your impression? I'm very sorry to hear about your awful experience. I, too, have had awful FL experiences, and wish every single minute I could have my original face back.

Omg! I am so sorry. I went for a consult with this surgeon also.. I knew half way through that this guy was not going to be my choice. He just seemed too ....I don't really know. It was just a feeling I guess

So sorry to hear of your problems. I had a "necklift," from a hack, then a "facelift" from a psychopath, who then needed to do a "revision," which didn't fix much and made other things worse. There are many good PSs, but some monsters, too. If only we could find out how to tell the difference Before -- instead of After.
