Still regret
My neck seems to get worse as time goes by. 1yr post op since first procedure and now 4 months post op from "revision". I have a band that protrudes and someone said that it may still out now that some fat was removed, but a surgeon I talked with told me that if I had a neck lift, there shouldn't be any bands showing.

I Regret my Decision.
Don't be like me and pick a doctor because he's relatively cheap. I went to this doctor for what he calls a cheek lift, an upper bleph, and a neck lift. Within 8 months, my face was almost back to what it was pre-op, my neck had not changed, I had extra skin on one of my eyes, and I had a dog ear on one side of my neck. I contacted Dr. Blackledge, who offered to fix everything. After the touch-up, the scars in front of my ears are worse; my neck has loose skin and a large, hard lump; my eye ended up with webbing; and the dog ear wasn't addressed. He performed a cheek lift (he does not do full face lifts), a neck lift, and an upper bleph in 1 hour and 15 minutes. Every doctor I have consulted with to fix my neck has told me that there is no way any doctor can safely perform a true deep plan in an hour. During the touch up he said my neck needed lipo, but he cut fat out and then used a syringe to manually extract fat and calls that lipo. My neck is very uneven now. If you like horrible scars and mediocre results, he is your guy.

Omg awful I'm so sorry
Wow I was following him. He needs to be called out!!!
Unbelievable wow, I’m so sorry you had a bad experience. It makes me very nervous for my FL scheduled in 2 weeks. I just hope I have actual results and minimal scarring
I sure hope it is not with him!
No I live in South Africa. I found a very affordable surgeon here but he has good reviews on Google about his professional and caring manner. I’ve been for two consults and comfortable that he knows what he’s talking about. But specialises more in reconstructive PS not FL
“Physician”? Is he a plastic surgeon or only a physician?
He is an ENT, but likes to call himself a plastic surgeon. To be a plastic surgeon one would need to complete a minimum of six years of plastic surgery residency trainingto ass comprehensive written and oral exams and practice plastic surgery for two years to become board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. These things he has not done. He doesn't have any board certification. He did do some rotations with a plastic surgeon that he learned from, but it is not enough to qualify him as a plastic surgeon.
