I'm still here but hate my left side. Right side is a bit better. It is sad that I'm thinking of how a surgeon can do a revision. I have seen my platysma in photos. No, that should not happen. If a woman is photographed from the side, she shouldn't have a 'bulge' on her neck. I didn't like that he didn't do the normal sewing the platysma together. I'd already put money down. The staff gaslit me.

You can’t see your scars love. Only you know that they are there. No one on the outside world can even see them because they are so thin and the color of your skin! You look good!

Scars are much better

Scars are much better and they're pretty much invisible. I still wish I had the platysma sewn together in the front rather than pulled under the jaw. I'm 2+ years out. I don't regret it, but just wish he did the neck muscles different.

I still hate my left side. I had the opportunity to consult with one of his partners. I wish I had done that. Dr P was amazing for everything else. He's now retired.

My scars are not at all visible I’m relieved. I kept reminding my PS even just before being wheeled into theatre that there are to be NO incisions in front of my tragus. He got the message loud and clear.
So I can now wear my hair up whereas after my weight loss and bad neck lines I had to wear it down even in the pool.

Don't go to him for a neck or face lift

Contacted the office and they don't do scar help gratis. :( I should have gone with a different surgeon. I'll be stuck with bulges at my jaw and scars I'll have to hide. Must I always wear my hair down? Most surgeons do a post tragus for women and the platysma is sewn at the front of the neck. I still have to contour because I have bulges at my jaw. I was assured by a staffer (when I asked to consult with one of his associates--I had already put $1000 down) that Dr P does beautiful work. I'm still regretting my choice of doctor. He is good with other surgeries. I'm over a year & a half out and am regretting my choice of doctor. I paid too much to be unhappy but I doubt they care or look at RS reviews.
