Neck creepy 3 years post-necklift
After the neck swelling went down, I began to notice that while my neck looked beautiful below midway down, the area above midway to chin began to look baggy and puckered. Over time it worsened and I called the doctor’s office in CR and sent photos. In a phone consult, Dr. Arguellosaid it was hard to determine if this was due to large salivary glands or something else. I was pretty sure due to the texture and appearance this was not due to salivary glands. When unable to coordinate a return trip with them, I consulted with a local plastic surgeon who thought it was due to skin adhesion to the muscle midway ( It felt like a rope was tight around my neck there.in part due to too much fat removed (I had very little there to start.) He tried Botox shots to that area where puckering starts but that did not help much if any. I tried massage the area and also paid $1800.00 to try Venus Legacy radio frequency treatments. Minor temporary improvement but not close to tightening my skin. It is worse than ever and I am in process of getting consults and costs. Here, seems no one charges or quotes less than $10-$12k, which is what the entire face lift and necklift plus hospital overnight cost in CR. I would like the ugly skin gone but that is too much to pay fora revision.
37days post op FL, necklift, Blep and lip and frown fillers
Still healing behind one ear and a couple of small bruises remain on my face but progress each day. The bleph caused dry eyes but my optomotrist says all looks good and they are better. I still use natural eye drops several x a day.
Face, Neck and Eyelift with Dr. Arguello on Aug 31
Arrived home Sept. 14 after final appt Sept 13 to get rest of stitches out and some hyaluronic filler in upper lip to smooth old vertical lines from smoking 45 years ago and frown lines between eyes. My eyes were very dry and red next day and have been since surgery on eyelids. My opthomolgist here tsaw me and explained this is a typical result of blephoplasty that improves with time and natural tear eye drops and gel. I had a black tie event last night and was disappointed that a couple of deep bruises on my cheek linger but I bought some heavy duty makeup I normally would not wear and hid the worst. Today improved except my eyes were very swollen and red, probably from the makeup, but despite that several people at church today commented on how great I with my new hairstyle looked! So, that speaks to how natural the results are.
Provider Review
Dr. Arguello is an outstanding, skilled plastic surgeon who is also a serious physician, meaning your health and final results are equally important. He is candid about risks and benefits and will not do a procedure if he believes the risk or cost outweigh the satisfactory results. His credentials and expertise are top drawer for any country. I am completely thrilled with the results- not obvious that I had a fl but clearly and a much younger and refreshed appearance.
