After consusting with another suregon and then again Dr Machida both recomending surgery to reposition the direction of the pull I decided to go forward with LSL to repair a lateral sweep. In addition to repositioning, the doctor removed some fat from lower area of my face and also addressed another area below my chin that wasnt perfect, I did have some complications with blood collection that took a long time to recover from, however, Dr Machida did a good job with the correction and was very professional and polite. Im glad I stuck it out and now love my younger appearance.

As my lift has setteled I am showing tightness on my jaw line and increasing sagging in my cheek area, LATERAL SWEEP is the correct term for the deformity, I went to my Dr and he blew off my concerns, said if it does not go away come back for fat injections to fill in the area and denies the deformity. I seen another Dr who confermed the directional pull was faulty and another surgery will be required to correct defect. He advised not to go forth with fat injections. Not sure what I am going to do, I would like LL to fix my lift but not sure if they are qualified. To go forth with another Dr will be the cost of another face lift completely. Not sure what to do!

I went in for my suture removal today and I was told the incision under my chin was to tighten the underline muscles in addition to the lipo, I am glad they did a thourough job, now that the sutures have been removed it doesnt look as noticible and Im sure will only look better over time. I am still swollen but overall I am feeling better about my procedure and probably judged too quickly.
