Had tire tread & extra skin hanging under my chin after Lifestyle Lift

ORIGINAL POST

This was the most horrible experience in my life....

This was the most horrible experience in my life. I had the procedure done in May 2010 and was left with a tire tread and extra skin hanging under my chin.The only corrective procedure he offered was steriod injections which didn't work and were very painful. He offered to do another proceure at an additional cost. On top of everything else my family Dr. said that the amount of medicine he gave me while doing the procedure was an overdose and I had a horrible reaction.

I wish I never had this done..

Hi Dee, I am so sorry that you had such a terrible experience. There are many of us here that support each other and we know exactly how you feel. I was looking at the side view of your pictures -- what did he do about your ear? On the front view one lobe looks lower than the other but that may be an illusion? Did the hole ever close up? Thanks for sharing your story and I hope that other women considering this procedure realizes that "Plastic Surgery" is a serious undertaking and will take the time to investigate the company and surgeon throughly. Please get a 2nd opinion from a private board certified facial plastic surgeon and ask many questions and be sure to read the fine print before signing on the dotted line and forking over hard earned money. I hope you recover successfully and you start to feeling better soon. Keep us apprised of your recovery. Best, Chrystal Eckes

I would like to ditto all that crystal said. Are the sides of your face still discolored? Praying that you are getting the support you need at this time.
