The worst decision of my life —I may be disfigured for life.

She Disfigured Me.
$13,000
Months after the facelift, a waitress asked me if I had had a stroke. One side of my face droops, I have seen several doctors who say this cannot be corrected. The right side of my nose collapsed and I can no longer breathe out of it. It can be corrected, for an out of pocket cost of $28,000.
My smile is crooked, I never smile anymore.
Dr Melinda Lacerna will not take responsibility for all of the hurt she has caused me.

The Worst Decision of my Life.
I may be disfigured for life. Three months after having a facelift and my lip shortened, I am embarrassed to be seen in public and I paid $13,000 for this disfigurement. I wish I could have attached a video, you can’t imagine how bad this really is until I start talking. The upper lip on one side of my face, will not move at all. It sags down and gets in the way when I talk or try to eat. When I drink my lips won’t hold in the liquid and it dribbles down my shirt. My eye stings constantly as it is dry because it won’t shut. I am very afraid, I will look like this for the rest of my life or that it will take a very expensive neurological surgery to correct it. Still, I may not even look as good as I did prior to the surgery with Dr. Lacerna.

What is all that blood all over your face on the last photo?? Omg. You look like you have nerve damage to your lip. What is your plastic surgeon saying to all of this?? You need to consult with someone in regards to this situation. It's just not right!!
I had a facelift and neck lift two weeks ago and after one week I was healed.
I just would be LIVID if this was my end result.
Wow!! I'm really sorry this has happened to you. Have you addressed this with your plastic surgeon and what is she doing about it? It looks like nerve damage. Hopefully it will only be temporary but I would definitely seek a neurosurgeon and another opinion from a P.S. Dr Mascaro is located in Florida and he is excellent with lip lifts and revisions.
I agree with happy traveler! I highly recommend you go see Dr Mascaro. He's immensely talented and a miracle worker with revisions. He's also very honest and compassionate I definitely suggest you reach out to him to see how he can help
And I'm so so sorry you are going through this :( I hope you get answers soob
*soon
