i was exited and nervous obviously to trusting. I had to have my first revision on one eye did Desvigne fixed it but with apprehension, it looked like I had a bee sting in the corner of the eye, when more swelling went down about 4months after the first surgery I noticed one earlobe was sutured past the jaw bone and the front of the lobe is puckered, I did some research and other surgeons call this pixie ear, cause the ear was tugged too far back, needless Ti say it's still hurts and I have a difficult time to lay on it. I saw him about this at this office at the life style lift and he said I couldn't expect this lift to last forever, I reminded him it hasn't been 6 months., again he rescheduled me for a revision March 20 of this year. I got a call today that LSL has closed its doors from a woman that said she was calling on his behalf,that they snuck I to the place to get my records and the dr. Would do my revision at his facility but now he wants more money. I'm not happy this has depressed me even more because not only will I hVe to have my procedure fixed but now I have to find the money. Don't trust anyone, some people are just out for the money and don't care ruining it for those that do. My eyes are not done properly either he didn't fallow through with the cut leaving my corners wrinkly.

How awful for you!! Please try to find a board certified physician with excellent credentials, education, training and patient reviews. You have certainly been through a lot and deserve to have a top notch professional to carry you through the process. Very best wishes.

51 Year old with sagging face and upper eyelids

I've taken some pictures to show what I'm talking about.
1. Neck is now wider on right side, been letting hair grow to hide this.
2. Side profile of left side, this side looks normal except for scares by the ear and you'll notice droopy skin peeking from the right side which wasn't properly or evenly lifted, not hard to see when you look and compare the too sides there is a cut that wasn't made and sutured on right back/neck area. Apparently this doctor had no real patern to follow.
3. Picture is of right side, ear is sutured further back leaving my lob to appear abnormal, you can't see this but behind the ear the skin is puckered it was very uncomfortable still doesn't feel right. The skin along the jawline is also displeasing to the eye, linear lines and some sagging.
4. The upper lid has puckered skin above the corner, correct me if I'm wrong but isn't that part of the upper lid which I just paid to have corrected? If you look closely you see how Dr. desvigne cut along the lid and finished the cut in an upward fashion like a fish tale.
5. This is the only face on pic I could find to show that I wasn't that difficult of a subject.

Really sorry to hear about your experience.. Where do things stand now..?

I really wish she would have replied. Dr. Desvigne is one of the most upstanding doctors I know. He was just one of the many doctors who was a contracted surgeon with Lifestyle Lift. They closed there doors overnight without even telling the doctors, and he had to pay them to get back in and get his patient files. I know because I was working for him at the time and he worked with each and every patient that was in the process of surgery or was wanting or promised revision. He did not charge anyone for revisions that were promised by LSL before they closed and he did them at his own expense. I'm actually having him do my face lift in March (2018). I would go to no other surgeon. I have never seen such beautiful work.

I didn't give up Johnny and it looks like my perseverance may have p aid off, I located the doctor and he has decided to do my revision for free, he's in a different Clinique now, I'll be posting pics of my revision. hopefully it's the last one I have to have, I shouldn't have a revision for a revision if u get my drift. I'm praying all will go well. Thanks for caring.
Thank you for sharing your experience on RealSelf!
