Had a Consult -- 48 almost 49 (face and neck lift)
ORIGINAL POST
Had a Consult.
$10,000
Did a consult for a face/neck lift. I had forgot to ask some questions. I mentioned that but unless they grabbed the doc, it seemed I couldn't ask. I have concerns about jowls, nasal labial folds. I get that he had to go to his next appointment. I haven't scheduled surgery yet. I was also interested in technique.

Scheduled my neck/face lift
Surgery date is early February. Will post before photos closer to the date. I'm 48 years old. I'm always nervous when it comes to any surgery. I can work out after three weeks. Apparently, it's a low pain recovery that looks worse than it is.

Follow up consult for face & neck lift
Met with my surgeon today since I forgot questions to ask at my consult. He said the face lift (SMAS) incision will hug the ear, but part of the incision will be right in front of the tragus. He said it would look like like a natural crease. In my research, a lot of docs do it behind the tragus and I asked about that, but he said that can make the tragus stick out more after healing. Has anyone heard that? I also asked about neck lift and he will lipo the neck and anchor the muscle behind the ear and that will also be where my scar will be. It seems most people have a scar under the chin.
I guess my nerves are starting to get to me. He's a very experienced surgeon and does about a 100 face lifts a year (he did my eyes & nose years ago). I want to have long lasting and good results. #nerves My pre-op is in two weeks.

I had face and necklift April 2021. Mine was behind the tragus . My tragus are firm and stick out a bit more. Of course i am a perfectionist. It depends on his out comes. Look at other people he did. You can see what his skill is in hiding that scar. There will be scars. Unfortunately you can not avoid it.Good luck!

It’s possible my tragus sticks out more but that is the least of my problems as my actual ears especially my tips stick out now whereas before my FL it was pinned perfectly. The PS says it will settle but I doubt it will. I will need to have surgery to have it pinned but will give it a full year.
If I do have any scars it’s probably hidden in the crease of my ear and so it’s not noticeable.
