A facelift shouldn't last 3 years - utterly dissatisfied

Three Years Post-Op Facelift

The two stars are for the friendly receptionist at the office.
I had my facelift surgery by the end of 2021 and am utterly dissatisfied.
I decided to go with him because he is located closer to where I live (my first mistake), and he was $5,000 cheaper than another surgeon that I had consulted (second mistake; sometimes you get what you pay for), even though I paid $30,000 for my facelift, and I should have talked to other women who had facelift surgery with him before committing (third mistake).
He was a very nice, approachable person during the two consultations I had with him before my surgery, but his lack of manners on the day of the surgery was surprising to me. I arrived to the clinic at 7:00 am, I saw him a little later, but he didn't even talk to me, instead he just asked a few questions to the nurse looking at my chart, and he went away. After 30 min or so, he came and told me he would mark my face (at this point, he didn't ask me how I was feeling or if I had questions for him). He barely made some marks on my face, and then he left. I saw him the next day after the surgery to have the suction cap removed; then, I went to have the stitches removed. I visited him at the three-month mark; at that time, I told him I noticed that I could see lax skin on my left jowls, and he dismissed my claim. When I went back at six months, I mentioned again that my left jowls were not as tight as my right one; he then told me that I could have another surgery to fix that. I decided to wait and see how things would progress, and as you can see in the pictures, the skin laxity is worst, and my surgery was only three years ago. I recommend that anyone considering a facelift with him talk to others who already had them to see how their results are maintained after two, three, five, or more years. A facelift shouldn't last three years.
