Do not recommend, face is still lopsided & scars outside the hairline

I had a lip lift and face lift with Dr Jack Zoumaras a few years ago, and was butchered. My face is still lop-sided, and I have scars OUTSIDE the hairline and under my nose that are really visible and a nightmare to try to camouflage every day. For $45,000, that’s horrendous.

It has ruined my confidence, my business and my life. I was trying to alleviate my stress and discomfort with ageing, not make it worse :( I’ve been told by several elite professionals I would need more expensive surgery to fix it.

To be fair the Artiste clinic offered a free treatment to help minimize it, (years later when I’d left the country), but I’ve paid for cutting edge treatments in top clinics around the world now, and they make no difference. Another surgery is the only option.

It could’ve been worse, but it was terrible work. I’m mortified daily. I definitely wouldn’t recommend anyone to go to this doctor for face work if you expect a tasteful or natural result. He may be ok for other things. Extremely disappointed.

Photos as requested. It was difficult to capture them, they look much worse in person. I can never wear my hair back or be in the wind, I can never lay down in front of anyone unless it’s dark, as my hair falls back & shows the scars. And I mostly speak with my hand over my mouth to cover the nose scar, or speak with my head down.

This has utterly ruined my life. Save yourself from this terrible experience. Ask every surgeon where he puts the incisions, and get it in writing. I never thought to ask… I thought it was common sense to hide scars, I’ve never heard of a surgeon making incisions outside the hairline in my entire life!!

:( Something that can now never, ever be fixed or repaired. :’(

I may be able to revise the nose disaster one day (meaning another expensive & painful surgery), but the hairline scars on my face will never be erased :( :( :( #brokenheart
