5 weeks post procedure & gutted - threads still visible & lump at entry point

ORIGINAL POST

5 Weeks Post Procedure. Gutted.

This is really difficult for me to write.
Though the doctor was truly lovely, I feel like I took $4500 and threw it into the wind.
She was very gentle and the procedure itself was pain free.
I booked and paid for a full face of threads, I was surprised to find this was actually only for the mid part of face.
The thread lift cost was $3000 and another $1500 on fillers.
I mostly wanted to treat my nasolabial folds and smile lines.
There was a lifted look to the cheeks after the procedure, however this returned to normal after 3-4 weeks.
I’m now at 5 weeks post procedure and all the threads are still visible, and there’s a lump at one entry point. Sadly this is the only noticeable change from before and after my visit.
I’m getting married this week and have had to change my hair style plans from an up-do to down in an attempt to hide the very visible threads on both sides.
I’ve actually had several friends comment on the “scars” they’d never noticed before.
I’m heartbroken as I’d worked hard to save this money, hoping to feel refreshed on my big day, and instead I’m out a year of savings and feeling more insecure than before. It’s had a profound effect on my self esteem and I’ve shed many a tear over this.
For reference I’m 38 years old.

Terrible, I'm so sorry and right before your wedding. The risks need to be explained more. Doctors are irresponsible for not disclosing more! Take care, I'm sure you are beautiful!

So sorry to hear about your experience, so awful to go through right before your wedding. Were you able to get the issue fixed, resolved?

Sorry to hear of your experience and i'm so sorry that this happened right before your special day. I had the exact same experience and results. I'm now 4 months post treatment and my lumps aren't any better. I'm just hoping that they don't form scar tissues where the knots were put or i'm thinking I might land up with permanent protrusions. Sorry to say it but I think going forward it might be best to talk to other doctors that might be able to do something sooner rather than later. Hoping this helps others who might be considering doing this and using this clinic. I just put up my review and posted pictures but still don't see it on here.
