I have done every imaginable thing to ensure a good result. I have consulted dozens of reputable surgeons, read reviews, asked questions, and looked at before and after photos. I chose a reputable surgeon with years of experience and still ended up with horrible scars behind my ears, but the part that upsets me the most is the hair loss. This hairless scar is super wide. The hair follicles will never come back. Every single surgeon I interacted with told me that hair loss is not an issue and that it almost never happens. It happened to me!
Please do NOT tell me to ask my doctor as he obviously doesn't care anymore and even if he did care (but he doesn't), I would not trust him anymore. He refused to give me the operative report and ghosted me even though I managed to remain calm and composed in my interactions. It baffles me that any time someone posts something, the typical response is, "Ask your doctor." Sometimes we can no longer ask our doctor and if he did a bad job, it would be pointless.
The ideal thing to do would be to excise the hairless part and restitch it, but this time, do a trichophytic closure. I think the key is to do a tricophytic closure. Even if I still end up with a linear scar there, the hairless area will be narrower. I would be happy with a smaller hairless area even if we cannot recover 100% of the hair follicles that were lost. There is a bit of movement near the scar, meaning that there is no tension.
The facelift per se looked kind of okay (still underwhelming) for the first 4 months when I still had residual edema, but now it's almost as if I never had anything done. AND I have these disfiguring scars on top of that.
Do not blindly trust positive reviews. And do not blindly trust before-and-after photos as most of them are taken with different camera lenses, under different lighting conditions, and from different angles. The patients you see in those photos don't always look like that in real life.
