After pics of face - Waste of time and money, not to mention pain. Dr Ron Soltero MD, FACS did not do a good job on any procedure he did on me. (Refer to pics of tummy tuck do to fat transfer)..

I'm unsure how I feel about my facelift. I'm unhappy with the scaring around, and behind my ears. I also have a fat pockets under my chin, and one side seems to be less tight. The dr has given me steroid injections in the scars. I hope this helps. It's like this on both sides. I've had major issues with the fat transfer from my abdomen to my breast from the other procedure so I will have to no get a tummy tuck as a revision:( This after many revisions. I'm hoping I do not need a scar revision on my ears but they are not healing well going into one year now. Also I'm wondering about the tightness under my chin? Will that need a revision? Ugh

Healing up. The scars are looking better everyday. The ones in front of my ears are hardly noticeable. The scars behind my ears are still sensitive but healing great. I still have some swelling. More so at the end of the day, and more at the bottom of my chin check area. Ice is still soothing. I use it at night, just under my chin for about 20 min. Very happy with my results

I am headed back in once more for another doctor to fix things with my face. however, I don't know why my other reviews will not post here, so please refer to my real self profile pictures "tummy tuck" and breast exchange and review with Dr soltero. At calimom4 I have many before and after pictures of the botched lipo on stomach for fat transfer to breast that led to me having a tummy tuck. My stomach was severely botched. It took several years before I could look at myself without clothes on or wear a bathing suit. I had to fix everything he did. it was very expensive and painful. Beware of the very nice bedside manner! Horrible what happened and not okay.
