And I just found out it's going to cost me 2,000 for scar camouflage. These scars were supposed to be hidden - the big one behind my right ear is SUPPOSED TO BE SLIGHTY ABIVE THE HAIRLINE so it's not visible when I wear my hair up. So frustrating he didn't di what he was supposed to do.

Perhaps you could contact your state's Attorney General with your case…?

Sorry your results didn't turn out better for you. My neck has fallen, too, after a year and I am not happy either. The Dr said he would revise it but it would not be tight and smooth. WTH? Why bother. He waited a year to announce that I had "poor skin quality". I am convinced that is just an excuse, trying to cover himself for not pulling anything tight enough to begin with.

What is scar camouflage?

Over a year later...and it's still not good

Had to have a revision on my neck 9 weeks ago due to poor result the first time. Still puffy, lumpy, there is pulling in middle of my neck, huge 2.5 inch scar on chin. This really has been a nightmare. :-(
I'll give it another month to heal and give my absolute final review then...but as of today it's not good. I saw Dr MacDonald a few weeks ago to express my disappointment and he told me to "stop looking in a magnifying mirror"...that's a quote. Uggh. I don't need a magnifying mirror to see a lousy neck.

I'm sorry not only that your surgery turned out the way it did, but also that your doctor will not do the honorable thing and admit that he did not do a good job. There should be some way to hold him accountable.

2nd week is the worst

Swollen large hard bumps behind each ear, swollen jowls, can't move left eyebrow much and it's significantly lower than the right one...and my smile is a little bit crooked. I know everyone says the 2nd week is the worst. Trying to be patient. :-(

Oh no!! Really?!? Probably. Swelling...why can't things swell evenly? Hang in there!
