Terrible Results from My Elevate
I am 49 years old and have some sagging skin on my neck under my chin. I was happy to have the option of the my elevate because it seemed like a good solution that is less invasive than a neck left.
I ended up having it under general anesthesia because I did it at the same time as a breast lift. (This was my first plastic surgery experience).
My plastic surgeon said I was the perfect candidate for my elevate and he expected great results.
The breast lift results were great but the my elevate results are terrible. I waited three months to leave the review because I was hoping to have a better result.
My neck is now worse than before because I have lumps and bumps from the procedure that look terrible. My neck skin is still about as saggy as it was before but now I have an uncomfortable tightness from the sutures by my ears if I move my head in a certain position. I would tolerate the tightness if the result was good but the result is terrible and now I have an uncomfortable side effect. I went to the plastic surgeon and he admitted it was not a good result. He said he is willing to go in and try to tighten the suture but that it might look even more distorted. Not what I want to hear. So, I’m out $6,000 and looking into getting a neck lift now anyway hoping to fix this.
My advice is don’t do it.
