Unacceptable Procedure Scars

ORIGINAL POST

Unacceptable Procedure Scars

The scars resulting from surgery are unacceptable Following my facelift, the scar under my chin is irregular, indented and too visible. The scars under my nose from the lip lift are the only features I see when I look in the mirror. There are ice pick holes left from sutures that look like black heads. Scar tissue build up outside my nostrils pull my nose when I smile. The scars are messy and low under my nose. I’m too self conscious to go out anymore. Dr. Talei was nice. He did a few courtesy laser treatments to the areas but there was no improvement. I paid additionally for Profound treatments. This didn’t help either. The last time I saw Dr. Talei, I got the impression he didn’t want me to come back. He didn’t discuss any treatment options. I liked Dr. Talei and his staff. They were professional and considerate. I wish I could be happy with the outcome.

Sorry you feel this way. Unfortunately with the anonymous comments and no photos I wouldn't have any idea who this is and what the results are. I certainly wouldn't tell anyone anything that would make them feel uncomfortable returning. I work late hours every single day just for this reason. You're always welcome back to try and improve things more and I would never hold a negative review against you if you were to return. You're always welcome and once a patient of mine always a patient of mine.
Can we see the pictures? Without pictures this is hard to believe. I've contacted 2 of his patients and they sent me pictures via text and the results/ incisions look almost invisible. Sometimes it's the way our bodies heal that determines how the scars turn out
Could this be because of her nationality. Some nationalities and skin types are more prone to scaring. I’d love to see the pictures. I’m from Morocco so my skin colour is light brown. I want to get a bunch of stuff done but that’s what’s scaring me. I don’t want to have any visible scaring.@drbentalei
