I'm really concerned. I had a facelift, neck lift, upper eye lids done, fat injections and laser done in Feb. in California. Now as the swelling decreases, I'm looking almost as bad as before I had the lift. I took this picture in sunlight in my car, no makeup. I think I look terrible. I've got n appointment with my surgeon next week. I would appreciate feedback from surgeons.

What now.

Went to see my plastic surgeon as the results of facelift, necklift, co2, fat transfer, less than stellar. He's suppose to be a prominent and skilled surgeon . He said he needed to o several procedures over and presented me with a new estimate of charges! What now... I Can't afford more money!!!

Same thing happened to me. He was the most expensive of the 5 doctors I consulted and the one who specializes in faces. I feel cheated.......

Considering that this is only 5 MONTHS!! after surgery whatever he has done has clearly been a complete fail. Even without having seen your pre-surgery photos this is without doubt not how a recent facelift should look. Under the circumstances you should not be asked to pay anything (he failed YOU and has not delivered what you paid for). I would consider legal support.

I added the rest of the pictures after one year. No improvement because it just keeps getting worse.

What's wrong with my smile

When I smile I am shocked on how bad this looks, 5 months post upper eye lift, and 5 month post 5 lift.

The neck and jawline looks good imo. The midface is hollow still. Which kind of facelift was it?
July 27, 2019
Full neck, full face lift, laser, eye lift, fat transfer to the face, 25k. He was allegedly a top renown doctor.

Did you ask for your money back?

I have gotten opinions of 3 oyher plastic surgeons who have said I need a complete revision and most certainly should ask for my money back. I'm going to UCLA medical center in LA next week and once I have the micro surgery plastic surgeons examination I will present it to the surgeon that did this very bad facelift etc. and see what happens. BTW... the original dr who did this to me said he would redo it.... for an additional HUGE FEE. I already paid him the first time for this huge mistake. Another dr said This surgery and his attitude is abominable!

Another Dr is right! It sounds like malpractice to me. Your face is fixable, I have seen the results of a facelift on people with your type of face. It worked. This Dr is beyond arrogant. Normally, a Dr would offer a revision free of charge, you would only have to pay for anesthesia and the theater. Warning signs here big time! He sounds like a fraudster. Where did you find him?

He's one of the top Beverly Hills plastic surgeons to the Stars.....so he's pretty well known. Right now I'm on the verge of a nervous breakdown. My BP is up ... but my cardiologist won't give me anything for anxiety and the stress! So I've got an appointment with a general practitioner in 2 weeks for something that will calm me down. I'm depressed and crying almost everyday.
November 17, 2019
Probably a silly question from me, but how do you know he is a top Beverly Hills plastic surgeon to the Stars? His behavior doesn't sound like a behavior of a professional. Every surgeon can make mistakes, even the most skillful ones, but the the true professional, ethical doctor would act differently. I have a feeling something is weird here. Can you PM me his name?

The purpose of my publishing this picture(s) originally a few months ago was to validate my concern and my opinion that the facelift was NOT done correctly! The doctor was telling me I looked great despite what I was seeing in the mirror! It wasn't my intention to expose this dr but to work out a solution first and foremost but that has not happened as he wants to charge me to do it over. Etc etc etc. so many visits and still no viable solution. So I've gone to other doctors to validate this facelift was a total fail. I'm not out for revenge as that may hurt my intention of getting my money back and finding a competent doctor. I appreciate the comments of ladies offering support of my situation that has hurt me financially, emotionally and of the obvious.... messed up my face in places it was not messed up prior to surgery. My intention to post my pictures was to validate what my eyes were seeing was true! I'm still working on the solution.

That's what they say about him. Dr Stork the other doctor on The Doctors tv show always praises Dr Ordon as the best he's ever seen.

Of course I asked for my money back. And he yelled and screamed at me in his office, in front of his staff, within earshot of people waiting in his lobby. He continued to yell at me while walking down the hall to his surgery room going to perform some procedure on a person while he continued his ranting and raving.

Might want to speak to a lawyer, sounds like a rip off. The facthat he started yelling and ranting is exactly how a scam artist will respond when confronted. So sorry you have to deal with this. Thanks for posting and warning others.

Sorry your results weren't as good as you had hoped. Maybe, the doctor didn't pull you tight enough to begin with or you had one of those quickie lifts. Good luck.
