Poor Results

Poor Results

sms2468
2 years ago Admire performed a lower face and neck lift. Immediately after the surgery, he began doing tightening treatments because it was obvious that the surgery was not successful. I waited 1 year in hopes that the results would improve. They did not, and Admire agreed to do a revision. I would not allow him to perform surgery on me again. 3 other plastic surgeons agreed that I was iin need of a revision. My lower face still has not regained feeling after 2 years. I have been quoted a minimum of 15,000 dollars for a revision. My lower face is by far worse after Admire operated than prior to surgery. There are too many plastic surgeons out there that have experience. Look at their photos. I did not, unfortunately.

Response from Dr. Admire:
I'm very sorry that you feel that way. I think the photos the you are showing are somewhat misleading in that you are pulling your chin down which will always create excess skin in any person. Unfortunately sometimes revisions may be needed. There isn't a single plastic surgeon in the US or the world that hasn't had to do revisions for the face, nose, breasts, etc. It certainly doesn't make them incompetent. I'm still willing to help if needed. Best, Dr Admire

So sorry to hear about your results. I too had horrible results with my first face/neck lift and my doctor failed to acknowledge the problem, I waited 11 months and I found a second surgeon and had a complete re-do this past Oct., I'am 6 weeks out and so far, I love my results this time. Unfortunately, I didn't research enough the first time and I got screwed!

That’s wonderful that your 2nd surgery went well.
It’s interesting that the fact that I still have no feeling in my lower face after 2 years was not addressed in his response.

I'm very sorry that you feel that way. I think the photos the you are showing are somewhat misleading in that you are pulling your chin down which will always create excess skin in any person. Yes I did offer a revision to re-direct and re-tighten the lower face and neck without any surgeon's fee. Unfortunately sometimes revisions may be needed. There isn't a single plastic surgeon in the US or the world that hasn't had to do revisions for the face, nose, breasts, etc. It certainly doesn't make them incompetent. I have numerous patients that have been happy with their facial results, including those represented in this realself forum. I'm disappointed that you are using realself to express your dissatisfaction. I'm still willing to help if needed. Best, Dr Admire

Why is he even responding to you on here? My goodness he should happily refund ALL monies you spent with him, EVER and speedily. If he were smarter...he would pay GLADLY your overage to properly repair if any, at physician of YOUR choice!!! R.f. he used after caused fat loss and a MAJOR no no making your results more complicated. I'm so so sorry this happened to you but great doctors exist, it can be resolved. Xo
