Worst Decision of my Life

Worst Decision of my Life

Gap00163
I had facelift procedure with dr ercan in September 2021 which went horribly wrong. My face looks like an inflated mess and aesthetically it looks very unattractive. Besides the bad result in the face, he has left me with some severe deformities. The incisions he made in my head for forehead and eyebrow lifting, those incisions didn't become flat. Dr ercan offered a revision and I went back to Turkey in April 2022 to have the head bumps issue fixed but even after he performed the revision, head bumps are still there. I am unable to understand how is possible that he could not fix his own mistakes, it's absolutely shocking to me. Now I have a horn on each side of my head. There are several other issues because of this procedure that I am still dealing with. I regret everyday why I chose him my surgeon. Please do thorough research and be extremely careful with choosing the right surgeon.

I'm posting my post op pictures.
10 days post op, I was in utter shock and disbelief that what is done to my face. He put fat into my face (which was not to be done) by making cuts around my nostrils and those cuts don't look good either.
Bumps on the head, left side usually hides in the hair but its a very deep incision, feels like a hole and bump at the same time and the bump on the right side

Very sad to hear that, its unfortunate that there is no accountability when a doctor messes up someone’s life like that

I am very sorry for your experience, I completely understand you because I myself am a victim of another surgeon because I did a deep plane face and neck lift. I am a perfectly healthy woman and lead a healthy lifestyle and my surgeon caused me severe complications such as complete necrosis of my face and nerve damage that caused paralysis of half my face. I hope that you will find the right surgeon for 3rd operation.

Hello thank you for reaching out and for kind words. I read your review and I feel really bad for what you have gone through and what you might be dealing with every day because of the procedure. I can understand this because I am going through the same situation. But I wish you luck and stay positive and hopefully there’s light end of the tunnel

Hi! I’m sorry about your experience. I’m having a similar problem in my forehead - I have bumps - and I’m currently 4 months post op. The doctor tells me with time this will go away by itself, so I was interested to hear from you if that happened. Thanks in advance!

Thats what he told me as well but it didn’t happen. Even he performed revision but bumps are still there. And its been over two years. Good luck to you
