Hi.
Sorry to hear about your problem. How has Dominic explained such a bad result? I had a consultation with him but haven't decided yet.
You put 2 stars for 'after care follow-up'. What didn't you like? People here praise his after surgery support.
He agreed that the fat from middle face had dropped to jawline. This should not have happened. He will not modify his procedure, but then again, I wouldnt want him to. Good luck, hopefully you wont experience the same. I have a young looking face, with quite minimal laxity and very good skin quality, so this was pretty shocking for me, with results only lasting 1 year. He suggested mid face filler at his practice to try to disguise the jowls! I am devastated x
The reason for 2 star for the aftercare is because he was not interested in my jowls returning. I should have given him no stars ... The 2 stars are for the initial response to aftercare.
Hi dear. Thank you for your reply. I'm so sorry for you being so unfortunate. Were you warned that this could happen? I can't understand how fat can drop. Maybe you should try midface filler or jawline liposuction? I heard that he always corrects any complications and everyone is eventually happy. xx
Hello Ange I am sorry to hear about your unsatisfactory result after a neck lift. Does a neck lift address the jowls also?
Have you had any further surgery from another surgeon?
It is all very worrying and it appears that this problem is more common than one hears as the majority of the reviews are only a few months down the line!
Best wishes.
I'm sorry this happened to you, thank you for this honest review.
I have considered this doctor for a year now, and would like to know why he would not modid the result when he stated it had failed. I've already had a bad experience with one doctor and have spent 2 and half years searching for the right doctor to fix what's happened and doing tons of research on the different procedures and risks involved. He's been my top pick so far and this is disappointing to me. Would you please pm me what happened.
I have the same problem. My jowls appear worse than before surgery and my jawline is awful. Mi look disgusting if I put my head down. It is almost like fat has appeared in neck and jowls but I didn't have fat transfer.
No I wasnt warned that I would have jowls again. Fat drops because as you age the fat from the cheek area drops with gravity, thus producing jowls. He suggested mid face filler from his own practise, spending yet further money. I would then look like a chipmunk. I declined his advice as I would then still have jowls in any case. He does not always correct complications, I do not know where you got this information from and I do not believe everyone is eventually happy, that would be living in cookoo land!
ORIGINAL POST

After much research I came across this well...

After much research I came across this well trusted website and read about Dominic Bray. His ablity to constantly achieve 5 stars from reviews was very impressive. I am vain, and so this was an incredibly precious decision on whether to go ahead or not. On 10th December I had a lower face lift and my sagging neck contoured. I cannot be happier!!! When I saw the before and after pics in Dominic's office, it brought tears to my eyes. An amazing artist, perfectionist, skilled guy! Thank you soooo much Dominic ... truly the best!

Welcome to the community and thanks so much for offering your opinion of your doctor.

It would be great if you could give us a little more detail about your experience, like why you had the surgery, your tips for getting good results, pros/cons, and info on the recovery process.

Angelica, it sounds like Dominic made another angel! :D

Yes he did! Literally my face in his hands, he was an artist at work :) xx
Hi I live in London, can u please tell me how much your procedures cost.many thanks.
Sorry to jump in on your thread, but I can give an instant answer. If you look on Dominic's website he has the prices of his procedures shown there. Do remember he is very much in demand so you may have to wait a while for a consultation.
My procedure cost £9,500 which was for lower face lift incl. neck lift. Your welcome and best of luck with any decisions you make x
I am due for lower face and neck lift with platysma in January so appreciate your review. As it is only five days since your surgery how are you feeling?
Not too bad at all today. I still have some swelling from face and lymph nodes in neck but only need minimal painkillers now. Face and neck look perfect. Sleeping upright has been very tough. Good luck with your orocedure in January, you won't be disappointed xx
did Dominic give you anything stronger than paracetamol for the pain. I've never considered paracetamol a strong painkiller x
He only prescribed Paracetamol. I didn't consider it strong either but I'm sure there must be a reason for only this painkiller. Probably more gentle on the stomach and/or mixes well with all the other meds that have to be taken x
Did you find paracetamol was enough to ease the pain and did you have a platysma?
Can't wait to see your pictures, I know you will be pleased!! Good luck with your recovery, love from Lesley (one of the bray babes from 2 years ago) I am lesley from dom's gallery pictures!! He was fantastic as was Lucy and the team, you will never regret it. Xx
Hi Lesley. Yes the team were great and I definitely have no regrets. I look so much better. I don't intend to upload pics but you know for yourself what Dominic is able to achieve. We are truly blessed x
Totall understand, enjoy your Christmas xx
You too Lesley, hope you have a great time xx
Hi. Glad to hear all is well. Did you have a brow lift as well? If so how are the scars in that area?
