6 months post op with a concern
Neck LiftLooking for some guidance. I lost 105lbs and had awful turkey neck, so I got a facelift/necklift/ upper bleph. I’ve noticed asymmetrical results as seen in the pics below. I went Back to my surgeon to address the concern and he said he didn’t think it was too concerning. I feel Like i need a revision but do not want to spend even more $ and recovery time. Is this acceptable? Am I overreacting?

My horrible results from my procedures
Body ContouringI was promised Aesthetic Results from a Lipo 360, Abdominoplasty, and Gynocomastia surgery. these are my results 10 months after the procedure, should I be furious?? Corrective surgery was not offered. I do not know where to even turn anymore, no attorney wants to take my case even though I have 3 key points to prove my surgeons negligence. I want input from the surgeons of this community.

Wednesday, January 14, 2026"And so, what I would hope is that patients feel more themselves after surgery, more like the person that they believe they are, by the changes that we made physically. That may sometimes be difficult or a challenge for our relationships, like spouses or children or parents, to see your body or your face looking different."
