True. I just had face and neck lift with endoscopic brow lift. I had no pre consult with the surgeon, and was given no written aftercare instructions either. This was in Iran. Surgeon was talking with my sister in law who can't speak English. I am 2 weeks post op with necrosis behind left ear. Had first shower 3 days post op. Stitches were not touched, just left dry and bloody. Surgeon says necrosis will go away. I've been on antibiotics for 2 weeks. He won't help. I'm relying on snake oil to fix it since the iranian doctors have no idea about necrosis. Can wait to get back to Australia in a week.

Thanks Dr Joe, that was very helpful. I had an appt with my surgeon yesterday regarding getting a MACS lift, he said in the first six months ill be very happy with the results but after that I may expecct up to 50% sag of the original result once all the swelling and settling takes place. That was disheartening to to think that is the case. is this true or is he likely trying to prepare incase I am not satisfied with the result? His facelift surgeries on his webpage look good but he has no MAC ones and when I asked to see some he said he didnt have any because of patient confidentiality so am a little worried. I kinda feel like if my results wont be that great that maybe fillers would be a cheaper choice except that I have a lax neck with banding and marionnette sag im not sure can be helped much with filler.

If you have a facelift and get 50% sag in the short term, something is wrong. The MAC lift is OK, but not magic. You just need a regular lift from a doc that does a lot of them.

I have two adorable white cats with gorgeous coats but their dandur coats everything in my apartment and they love me and want to snuggle. I'm HIV so I take extra care by wearing rubber gloves when clean their litter box. I have had a lot of plastic surgery in my twenties and thirties so I know what the recovery is really like. It took me a full year to heal before I could really judge the final result. I just couldn't face that healing time again and unless they can hide the scars in my asshole I can't do it.
