Facelift Failure and Pixie Ear

ORIGINAL POST

Facelift Failure and Pixie Ear

philsfan
It has been a few years since my facelift with Dr. Le. It was a lot to go through for almost zero improvement. I was left with a pixie ear, still sagging neck, and platysmal bands are still very obvious. I get Botox in my platysmal bands every 10 weeks, but it doesn’t help the exceeds skin he failed to address ..and it’s very expensive to keep up. He treated me very poorly post surgery. When the several weeks of swelling went away, I looked exactly the same. He also told me that I said to not make it tight and blamed to lack of improvement on me...because I said “Don’t make me too tight like Joan Rivers”. Why on earth would I want him to do all of this cutting to accomplish nothing??? I could not go back to him due to lack of trust and the way he treated me. I have still not gotten it fixed due to financial constraints, having a special needs child that doesn’t afford me the luxury of down time, and overall trauma from this extensive surgery that did almost nothing. . I have seen multiple facial plastic surgeons about a revision, but due to the constraints I’ve mentioned above , I have not moved forward. I’ve finally gotten around to writing this review. It has taken me awhile due to the trauma of thinking about all of this. I don’t like to think about it or talk about it. It’s too devastating. It looks way worse when the bands are not botoxed.

I'm sorry to hear that you have had a traumatic experience I really can't tell by the photos that you posted do you have any of your full face? And it would help if you had some before photos I understand this whole thing is difficult for you but it's really not that helpful if you don't post before photos along with full face photos from different angles. From what I could see in the photos you posted you look fine very little loose skin under the chin is all I can see that would be considered a flaw. Before photos of your ears are necessary as well.

I am sorry this happened. It is so hard to make this decision and costly to not be happy. I feel for you. I just had a redo yesterday, same Dr. My neck was a mess. I am all wrapped up so I have no idea what I will see. I hope you find someone to make it right for you.

Did Le fix your neck ? He is a scary man ? Have you seen the blogs about him ? I hope everything turned out ok.

I feel for you as Dr Ross Clevens left me looking worse and older than before.
