I'm almost six months into recovery from facelift, necklift and lower bleph.  There are so many issues I never expected to experience.    I still have tightness around the neck and behind the ears and two swollen glands in my neck.  I wake up every day hoping to feel different but I'm aware of the discomfort all day.    My jowl line is higher...

I had no idea that recovery could take so long.  My facelift is scheduled in 2 weeks, and although I am prepared for pain, brusing, swelling, etc., it seems scary to think it could take  6 months to feel good again.  I'm worried.

Following a poor outcome from a midface lift and eyelid surgery I had  6.5 months ago, I wondered how many others (like me) who have had a less than desirable result result  now feel about plastic surgery? Do you feel differently about it now? What if anything have you learned from your experience? If you could turn back the clock what would you do differently? It seems there are more and m...

I have never had such a horrible experience in my life, and still after 2 years am traumatized by thinking about it. I still have horrible scars, difficulty hearing, knots in front of my ears, a huge scar under chin, and an open oozing hole on my neck that occasionally string pops out and I have to cut it. I have complained to the medical board and they have sent a special investigator out to...

I had a Lifestyle Lift on July 12. Today, July 18. I am still experiencing swelling and pain especially on my right ear. The swelling is very hard and is causing me discomfort when sleeping. Is this normal? How long does it really take to recover from the life style lift procedure? Do you have any reviews or comments regarding this procedure?

I want to get a consultation from a LSL surgeon in atlanta area. Does anyone have experience with any of the lifestyle lift doctors i found on the internet?  thx!!!

Dr. Ivanchuk has an Instagram page with fantastic before and after for facial plastic surgery. However, I cannot find anything about him online and I am not sure how to research the certifications of a Doctor who is located in Ukraine. Anyone know anything either about this Doctor or about which certification boards etc to check for a Doctor in Ukraine? Thanks.

I recently went to Dr Kalecinski in Poland for lower face lift.! I arrived at 9.30am...he went though the motions,i had a local anesthetic ,and within 20 minutes after the op,i  walked back to the apartment ,having a coffee on the way,i have had no swelling or bruising,no tightness at all,and not one person can see a difference. I look exactly as i was before. Frankly i am appalled and angry ...

 Maybe my goals are not the norm and maybe that's why it is hard to settle on a doctor. I don't get it. Doctor's websites keep stating that the patient did not want their facelift to make them look "younger"  just "refreshed".  There are lots of less expensive options out there that  leave you looking "refreshed" without the expense or down time.  Are they any doctors...

Hi everyone, I am 8 days post op on smas lower face and neck lift. I also had my upper lids done. Though my surgery went well, I had some complications-- a hematoma in the neck that has been removed, lots of swelling and severe bruising. My doc says it is the worse bruising he has seen but should not effect the outcome, which he is very optomistic will be great. Swelling and bruising get...
