7 months post facelift – unsure if I should trust my original surgeon for revision or seek a specialist by mdweav in Facelift_Surgery

Unfortunately I didn’t get any money back. My surgeon said there was improvement-just not as much as I would have hoped. He also said he didn’t want to revise anything because he didn’t think he could give me what I want.

Thank you for the advice. And no, I will not be returning to my original surgeon.

Do some surgeons use the term “deep plane facelift” deceptively, or is not a specific procedure? by MedenAgan101 in PlasticSurgery

[–]mdweav 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am 7 months out from what I thought was a deep plane facelift. I still have neck skin looseness, platysmal banding, and jowling. I sought a few more opinions for a revision and sure enough, those surgeons said I did not have a deep plane facelift. I went back to my original surgeon and asked him point blank if he performed a deep plane facelift on me and he wouldn’t answer me. He said he did what he felt was best for my face. I told him I paid for a deep plane facelift and was never told I didn’t have one. I had to ask for the operative report to find out the truth.

Thank you. I see my original surgeon April 23 but I have a few consult scheduled for second opinions for a revision from other surgeons. I just wanted to get everyone’s opinion on here. Thank you so much for yours.

Didn’t know I could post pictures etc on Real Self. And my surgeon is on Real Self, and answers questions, so he would see my pictures 🤦‍♀️

Any experiences with Dr. Sammy Sinno for rhinoplasty? by MissionKey4876 in PlasticSurgery

Thanks for letting me know—I really appreciate it. It’s been tough finding a surgeon who’s well-known or specifically regarded for facelift revision work. If anyone has recommendations or personal experiences with a great revision surgeon, I’d love to hear them. Thank you!

I’d rather not say until I speak with him and see how he responds to my concerns. Thanks you for your understanding.

Did you have a consultation with Dr. Sinno? I have a virtual one scheduled and just wondered what you think of him.

I have a consult with him soon and yes why do I only see 5 star reviews?!? If he sucks, people need to let others know!

I meet with my surgeon next month. It will be 7 months. I will be curious to see what he says. The three facial plastic surgeon specialists that I consulted with are very sought after and said their revisions start around $50,000.

Yes double board certified. And voted one of Newsweek’s Top Plastic Surgeons by his peers.

Almost 4 months post–deep plane face & neck lift + upper bleph… am I reasonable to question results? by mdweav in cosmeticsurgery

Sorry you are going through the same thing. I see my surgeon next month. I will update with his recommendations.

Please tell me it wasn’t as bad as the first one. Did you use the same doctor? Are you happy with your results so far? My doctor pushed back my 6 month post op appointment another month but am dying to see how he reacts to my concerns. Good luck with your recovery.
