Foreign Matter Much Discomfort

These "dissolvable" sutures never dissolved, causing me much discomfort for almost four years. My original doctor told me he only used dissolvable sutures. Dr. Thorne removed them. He also removed scar tissue in my right cheek, areas on either side of my neck, and scar tissue that ran from my right jawline to the top of my right ear.

Dr. Charles Thorne - REVISION FACELIFT SUCCESS!

Post-op subcutaneous facelift and removal of scar tissue. Also, removal of sutures that never dissolved—finally feeling great at (almost ) 65 years old! These issues should have been addressed 3 years ago by my original surgeon.

Dr. Charles Thorne - THE BEST SURGEON

After four years of living through absolute hell, I was blessed to find Dr. Charles Thorne. He was the fifteenth doctor I consulted. He is a gentleman, kind, experienced, knowledgeable, and most of all, he listened AND heard me. He was on time for every appointment. His staff is professional yet warm and friendly. Unlike the other doctors I had spoken to, he did not have an agenda. My concerns became his concerns. A New York City plastic surgeon with a Park Avenue address with fair fees. One in a million. He performed surgery on me on July 20th. As I thought, he found a massive amount of scar tissue in my face and sutures that never dissolved (foreign matter). He removed that entire mess and carefully redraped my skin.
As I write this, I am recovering nicely with minimal discomfort. This is the first time in a very long time the light of that very long tunnel is getting brighter and brighter. My advice to anyone who is struggling with facelift complications would be to make an appointment with Dr. Thorne. I can assure you that he will hear you, and if he can help you, he will. All I wanted was to feel better, which I do. Bonus - I'm also looking better! Score all the way around.
