36 Yr Old, Brow Lift/corrugator Muscles Excised, Highsmith Rainey Specialty Hospital, Fayetteville NC

I've been a patient of Dr. D.'s for about 6 years. I've gotten botox, xeomin, juvederm, radiesse, many chemical peels & skincare products over the years. When I was looking for a more permanent solution to my "11" situation, of course, I went to him.
After a consultation we discussed what would be best for me & it was decided that a brow lift along with exising the corrugator muscles would give me what I desired.
During my pre-op visit it was recommended that I get a botox treatment to soften the muscles, making it easier for surgery/atrophy during healing. I paid the money & got the botox as recommended. I wanted everything to go perfect as possible.
Surgery came & went.
Directly after; once the majority of the swelling went away I looked great. Until the botox wore off. Then I was right back to exactly where I was before only this time more than $4,000 poorer.
When I went in for my next follow-up appointment I brought up my concerns to Dr. D. & he assured me that he would make it right. I just need to wait until my next follow-up (in Dec). He then gave me a shot of botox on the house so I wouldn't look terrible. (I was having pictures done for a family event the following week).
I can't say enough good things about Dr Dickerson & his staff as far as the procedure; I am hopeful that we'll have everything sorted out in December. I will definitely post pictures when I finally get the results we were both looking for.

Yesterday was my appointment for my second post-op and upon seeing the not so great results of my 1st surgery Dr D & I discussed what options were. I could either go in for a second surgery (through the same incisions, maybe one more) or go for ThermiRase. The surgery seems like the way to go seeing as I already know what to expect pain/healing-wise, it's a more permanent solution (the other lasts only about 2 years) & scarring isn't going to be an issue at all because he's going to be going through the same areas/general area & I heal well. My new surgery is scheduled for December 30th, so Merry (late) Christmas to me. :)

Yesterday was my revision surgery for the corrugator muscle part of the brow lift I had gotten back in July. This one was done @ the "in house" operating room which was super convenient and added a bit of comfort for a long time patient like me to be in familiar surroundings with familiar staff.
I was all numbed up & given a decent amount of pain meds so the actual procedure was pretty painless, just pressure. Now that it's day 2 I'm getting some of the oh so lovely swelling but other than that no issues. This go around Dr. Dickerson was more aggressive with the muscle removal so he gave me a prescription for a steriod to help with the swelling. Below are some pictures of before, directly after & this morning. As you can see the incisions were changed to the corners of the eyebrows rather than going through the same incisions as before. We talked about it and since I already have very light eyebrows that I get tattooed it would be best to go through that area. Any minimal scaring can be covered by my new eyebrow tattoos & it would be easier for him to give me the results I wanted going through those incisions.
