I have been posting an update every year since Lyle Back scarred me terribly in a face/neck lift procedure. This is Year 5 (the procedure was in July 2020). I finally had a revision done recently by a compassionate and highly skilled surgeon. Am pleased to report it went very well. Pixie ear is gone and the railroad tracks down both ears (front and back) were excised and fixed. It feels amazing to reclaim my self confidence. Please do your homework before undergoing this procedure. And, whatever you decide, stay away from Lyle Back!

Facial Scarring Still Visible Ater 2 Years

Persistent7172
It has been nearly 2 years since a face lift/neck lift with Liar Back and the scarring on both sides of my face along my ears is still very visible. Railroad tracks define the look. PTSD still with me every day. He is a horrible person as well. He ruined my life.

I’m sorry to hear that. Were you offered a review? Have you tried cosmetic tattooing? That may help.

Good, finally a real review of this "doctor" instead of all these fake glowing reviews. This guy is HORRIBLE !!

Agreed! He is a narcissist, who will shame you, the patient, for his surgical catastropjy. It has been 3 years since my so-called face lift, and the scars in front and back of my ears are still visible and raised, he created a scar under my chin, which has never resolved. I found a great surgeon who is willing to do a reision but I need to wait another YEAR to ensure the scars have softened and eased enough to properly revise the damage. Liar Back shamed and blamed me for his mess.

What doctor will do your revision? I need to find on. Dr.Back screwed me up too. Horrible scars and my lower face looks worse. I now have big fat lower cheeks.

What doctor are you looking at for a revision?

I sent you a private message.

He is horrible. I look terrible after a year. I have big puffy cheeks and constant neck and facial pain. My incisions are horrible and very visible. I picked the wrong doctor.

I am so sorry to hear this. He did the same to me. He needs to be stopped.

Sorry to hear. I also had a horrible outcome with Steve Ronan MD.

One Year Update

Persistent7172
It is almost one year since my procedure. My ears are still red and scarred (front and back) with pixie ear. Not much better at all. My chin has a horrible scar. I did notice that this doctor did the same procedure on others this past year. Look at their "after" profile on his website. Horrible scarring at the ears! Please ladies, stay away!
