Looking for the Longest Lasting Facelift I Can Get - Costa Rica

9 month post lower face and neck lift , upper eyelid lift

The worst of my fears have come to fruition. I am now 9 months status post face and neck lift and it looks like I will need another neck lift. I have had some dialog with Dr Lev over my double chin concerns and went back to Costa Rica in April so he can evaluate in person the outcome of my neck lift and make recommendations. To make a long story short, I will need a full blown neck lift revision. I am disappointed and very sad about my neck results. For now, I am looking at alternatives here in the states with the hope that maybe with time, I can just accept what I got and not have to go through another invasive procedure.

What went wrong? Your neck pictures posted on January 20 look perfect. I'm sorry that you have to have a revision.

That is the same question I asked Dr Lev!

When you asked Dr. Lev what went wrong, what was his reply?

Did Dr. Lev offer a revision free of charge?

When I saw him in April I was only hoping for a minor revision but the route would leave me with a big scar under my chin. I was not expecting to be reopened to correct the neck with another invasive surgery. It was not discussed further.

Sorry to hear about your neck results. I am scheduled with Dr. Lev for a neck lift next month. Did he say why you did not get the results that others have posted? Or do you have any idea what happened that resulted in the poor outcome?
