I'm so sorry that you're unhappy with your results. I know you posted that you had a less than successful neck revision. Is there any way Dr Chang could do something about the "pixie ears" and scarring that you are left with? For the amount that you paid, you should be able to get some satisfaction. Although I also understand if, at this point, you'd rather just be done with the whole process. Thank you so much for sharing your story and I wish you all the best~ Lynn

Update

Well. Here it is a year and a half later and now that everything that's settled in I am really not happy with my results. Maybe it was just the wrong procedure for me. I had the neck liposuction along with a mini-lift. Even after a revision to try to fix my neck, one side has again drooped. In addition, I have some permanent dark coloring where the lower bleph was done, as well as drooping lower eyelids. Ugh. I also have a serious case of "pixie" ears!! Finally, I am left with such scarring beneath and behind my ears. I occasionally get stabbing sensations through the scar tissue. Would love to have all of this fixed by a PS who is an expert at facial revisions. But just can't afford anything else at this point in time. Will try to post photos later.

Can you post some before and afters?

Thank you for sharing your story. I see that you still have some sagging under your chin. From what I understand, the mini facelift should have fixed that, right? Maybe it was the PS you chose. Gosh.... That sucks. I'm so sorry. What are "pixie ears?"

I week post op

Same shirt, same place, same lighting. I Had the stitches removed from the front of my ears this morning. Silly me, I thought they would ALL be removed. Turns out the stitches behind are dissolvable, and they have to resolve on their own. A LOT of bruising under my left eye. The PS gave me an IPL session to help break up the bruising. This afternoon I can already see the difference. The ONLY thing that's been inconvenient is that the pain behind my right ear has intensified over the last few days, a constant burning, stabbing sensation. Dr Chang ended up giving me an antibiotic because of the severe Inflammation. I hope by tomorrow that pain will be gone. Also, am I crazy or is my mouth kind of lopsided? I just noticed this. May e the swelling from the juvederm is still present.
