Devastating
In the fall of 2016 I went in to see Dr. Angelo Cuzalina in Tulsa Oklahoma at Tulsa Surgical Arts. I had a little saggy skin in my neck area. He recommended doing what he called a “neck lift”. In January 2017 I had the procedure. After the procedure I had several thick bands showing up in my neck as well as sunken places.
I kept going in and he would say it looks really “good”. He said sometimes people to develop bands and scar tissues. He injected me with steroids and added some filler in the sunken areas. Finally he said I would need the bands cut, fat grafts in the sunken areas and a face lift to correct the problem! I was devastated!! I went to see two other doctors and they both said I had what they call a, “cobra neck”, from having too much fat taken when I had the lipo of the neck. I did end up getting a face lift with another doctor and I the hollow areas and the bands still show.
Dr. Cuzalina never told me that this was a possibility before he did the neck lift or I never would have had it done.
The surgeon that did the face lift said because my skin is so thin around my neck doing a fat graft would cause further problems and it would show through and if he cut the bands it would also show through, so it looks like I will always have a deformed neck. He said if I would not have had the lipo of the neck but a facelift instead I would not have this problem.
How I wish I would have Never let Dr. Cuzalina ever touch my neck!!
I will now have to live the rest of my life being self conscience of my neck.
