Certainly NOT Worth It at 4 Weeks Postop! (Endoscopic Cheek & Brow Lift) - Pennsylvania
UPDATED FROM anniegirl222
3.5 years after the surgery, I continue to have the same problems.
$7,000
I recommend NOT having this procedure! Mine has been disastrous, even though it was performed by a board-certified, highly regarded surgeon. I have permanent damage to nerves and muscles -- including parts of my face (nose and mouth) that should not have been affected by a brow/cheek lift. Horrendous experience.

how are you ? is it getting any better? I hate my looks I used to be pretty (not to brag) but when I was younger I did modeled for a local dept store it was published in the Pittsburgh press. now I hate going out esp when its with old friends. in some lights and mirrors I look distorted. I hope I am in a dream but every morning I wake up and realize im not.

Your face is screwed up but you won't name person responsible and no pictures. Your post is not credible as far as I am concerned. Sorry

I might be able to (Tell you why) :) I see she has been a member here since 2012. My guess is the Doctor refunded her money, but talked her into signing that she would not POST ABOUT HIM/HER an if she does she gets a 10 K fine, It happened to me TWICE. I no know t is not worth the paper it is written on. Additionally she can always say FINE ME and post anyway. Maybe she is afraid and has not seen an attorney yet to advice her. Also never SIGN that garbage from ANY Doctor.
Also you said YOU ha a "Bad lower lid lift". Can you tell me the Doctors Name. location, date of service and cost? Do you have any photos of before and after?.

yes dr beatty hes an ocular plastic in pitts pa. my client had her upper lids done & looked good. i only had a bag when i doubled out. i went to 2 PS who did not want to operate they wanted to use filler for now but at $1.000 per 6 months i thought the operation would save me in the long run. ha the jokes on me i spent thousands of $$ trying to correct it. then i went to dr johns in pgh & he gave me a FT & skin pinch which made it very livable. still alittle hollow but can live with it for the time being, i had other people who have not been posting for a few years but sent me private messages on RS. & one who changed her name and answers under another name.

Still not worth it at 10 months post-op!...
Still not worth it at 10 months post-op! Asymmetries galore! Have had numerous filler treatments to help minimize the pits and bulges. Still have a very crooked mouth and smile, as well as synkinesis and strabismus. Left upper lip is still swollen and numb. It seems that I will need much more than the typical "one year" healing period. I hope another year of healing will do it!

I'm in PA. I'm curious who the Dr was so I can stay clear! Hope you are doing better!

did you see results of photos of midface lifts he did? i have heard of some who have these assymmetric problems not only due to nerve damage, but also due to wrong tacking inside the mouth area. i hope your nerves eventually regenerate and heal. take B6--i think it is 6, look it up---for nerve regeneration----meantime. I hope you look better and feel better. keep us posted. and, yes, you should look into the legal issue, but remember there is a time period ---i think it might differ by state, but here it is 2 years, then you cannot do anything.
