Bad scarring under chin & terrible fat transfers to cheeks

UPDATED FROM notaprettyface

8 year update.

It’s now 8 years since my surgery and I am still mourning my old face. Still having to deal with the appalling result of the “necklift” and still dealing with the bad fat transfers to my cheeks. The asymmetry, the fact the left side is so much larger and the fat goes right up to my nose. The overall effect of a crooked face. This man ruined my face yet is still practicing! Amanda is till all over Reddit shouting at people who complain. Blaming them. Telling them have a mental illness if the call out Rossi’s poor skill. I’ll say it again as I’ve always said , never, never, go to these unprofessionals!

It breaks my heart to see that you haven't found help for this after all these years. Is Dr. Rossi in Argentina? It seems he does a lot of feminization surgeries. Like you say, it is impossible to know if his approach was skewed because of approaching it as he would a more masculine bone structure. But honestly, facial fat transfer is an extremely dangerous procedure. I've learned a lot about my own destroyed face through reading your descriptions. My nasal area lacks circulation, is discolored and nostrils tingle as you describe for your neck area. I've had sinus scopes and all that. It is likely damaged nerve endings. Is there truly nothing to remove this misplaced fat? Are you able to keep up social and professional life? That is another disastrous outcome of being botched like this. It is not only exhausting & humiliating; it is tiring trying to move muscles that are confined by ill-placed fat and in your case by that scary neck lift. So, professional life suffers or disappears, as do precious moments with friends and family. Eventually general health deteriorates. It is quite a feat to hold oneself together. So many of the stories I've read by other people who have been devastated by dubious aesthetic procedures also speak of the mistreatment and/or gaslighting after the procedure. This unethical behavior only adds to the torment one is forced to endure.
It’s tricky. I think mourning my natural born face had been the hardest. I was very fortunate I had great features. Everyday is a struggle and I still find it hard to recognise myself in photos. To think people are still travelling to these people to get surgery when most of their reviews are obviously fake. It breaks my heart.

Trying to upload photo

I have been trying to upload an updated photo to show how poor the work was. How it has aged (badly) and to genuinely act as a deterrent to this surgeon but despite my repeated attempts, real self aren’t publishing it.

I tried to leave a comment, but it didn't go through. Will try again later. Basically--good of you to get the word out there.

7 years after surgery

Please see photos of the world’s worst surgeon’ s “necklift” . I’m still hiding away from the world seven years on. Please, please do your research. Reach out to genuine patients who have already had worked done. Realself reviews are often fake as one person can have multiple profiles despite what realself proclaim.
