Had an MACS facelift with Dr. Edstrom. Due to his inexperience in this type of facelift and negligence, I can no longer have another face or neck lift performed again. Dr Edstrom hid the fact that severe damage to the under layers and structure of my skin during the procedure. He was negligent because he was out of town and left his residents to remove my sutures several days after surgery. His residents did not realize I had suffered severe damage and never contacted Dr. Edstrom. Dr. Edstrom should have had another qualified plastic surgeon available while he was out of town and not rely on his medical trainees. I asked Dr Edstrom to have a qualified physician to check me out while he was away, but he told me not to worry. I went to Dr. Sullivan last month and showed him the photos after my MACS facelift performed by Dr Edstrom and Dr Sullivan said he had never seen so much damage in his 20+ years of practice and that it would be "too dangerous" to have another face or neck lift.

Thats awful, doctors like him should be struck off/license revoked. I really hope your face heals and you don't have anymore issues

what bothers me realself, is that doctors like him with a proven record according to other reviews are certified by FACS and all the other boards making people think he is professional? Isn't there somewhere that investigates and de-certifies people like him?

Please report this dr to dept of health and file a complaint with the hospital. I had to have five surgeries to fix what he did to my face

Have you seen that T v program called Botched, they are brilliant, they only work on botched surgerys. Dr Terry Dubrow is one of the surgeons
I think you can find him on Real self, actually I have seen that he put up a comment on Real Self
This would be well worth while looking into All the best
