Poorly executed lip lift
One month post
I’m still a little swollen from my buccal fat removal and am hoping after three months when all the swelling is gone my jawline will even better. Overall happy with this procedure as well. I’ve still got some jowling, which I’ve circled in red in a photo. I may need to do threads or a lower face lift to improve this area.
Day 5
The lip lift incision is no longer painful, mostly just stiff and tight. It's hard to laugh cause my cheeks are still swollen and my lips are tight. So no comedies for me on this week of recovery.
I am having one spot on my inner bottom lip corner that Dr Saxons office said is normal, its just skin over the stitch. I've included a photo of that spot cause I was concerned and sent it to their office today.
I went without my compression garment for a few hours today and ran some errands and did way more talking than I have done all week since the surgery. I must say I was sore and uncomfortable by the late afternoon and had to take some ibuprofen and put my compression garment back on. It relives some of the pressure to have the head wrap on. I've included some pics from today in the car. You can see the bruising on my lower face pretty well.
Provider Review
I had a series of very devastating procedures performed by Dr. Saxon in 2019 and 2020. I am still dealing with the aftermath five years later. I did FaceTite and Morpheus 8 in 2019, which gave me jawline laxity, contour irregularities, and jowling that I never had before (I was only 39 at the time). To treat the contour irregularities caused by FaceTite, Dr. Saxon performed buccal fat removal one year later, which in hindsight was terrible advice. It only added to the deflation and laxity of my already slim face and the fact that Morpheus and FaceTite melted my fat. Since she was already performing complimentary buccal fat removal in an attempt to correct my adverse outcome from FaceTite, I decided to have her perform a lip lift. This was not a wise choice as it was a smas only lift, meaning it put so much tension on the incision that I have had a tethered, burned looking scar on the center of my face under my nose for the last five years. I have done multiple consultations with PS’s at this point to get advice on the laxity and jowling that FaceTite and Buccal fat removal caused and now I’m looking at a lip lift revision. I have been told by multiple PS’s that this was “a very poorly executed lip lift.” in addition to being told that these heat based devices cause so much damage to women’s faces and now I have scar tissue and adhesions that are going to make my face lift much more complicated. I am not happy with the FaceTite and Morpheus procedures I received, the advice to remove my buccal fat pads or the poorly executed lip lift. This is a review about the quality of the procedures, not the quality of the practice. I did enjoy Dr. Saxon and her staff.
