where and who did you can your facelift and necklift from??
My was completely a nightmare.
Done it in Taiwan. My face is very deformed with ugly scars on my face. The butcher didn't even tried to hide the scars. it is on my face. It widen and become white and raised scars. I asked him at consultation that I need it as close to the hairline and along the ear outline. He done none of that. Doctors in the USA freaked out when they saw what he done to my face. I have dents, lumps everywhere. on the part in front of both ears it is really dented in like no fresh is there. A super huge dent to the right of my right eyes. It looks like a big shelf. My left eyes have a smaller dent. Don't go to this doctor. He is not trustworthy. Did 4 surgery under 7 hours... I went to Taipei alone, I knew he started after a certain time after I was put under, then when I woke up I counted the hrs. It was about 2 hrs later before the clinic was quiet. If u want to see photos just email me at [email protected]. I didn't know this butcher as an alias name which could have helped me not to used him........ On his alias is a big warming that you cannot trust him.. Had I saw that review, I go elsewhere. I didn't save any money going to Taiwan. I paid USA price. My airline ticket was high. I booked it three days before departure date. Adding everything up my super botched surgery costed me way more than if I got it done in usa. I gone to taiwan thinking they could do a better job due to the fact that taiwan 25 million people. USA less than 5.7% Asians. This includes Pakistani and Indian people. USA doctors work with mostly Hispanics, Caucasians, and African American faces due to 19% is black, 19% is Hispanics, and Caucasians is around 40% and the other percentage is mixed race backgrounds.................. Was I so wrong..... THis butchered left over lapping skin on my face, cut out of line. It is very ugly......... what a fraud. He spoke very good English and understood my concerns at consultation than why he cut me up like that. He made no attempt to do face lift the right way. why anyone want cuts that is on their faces He didn't cut along my ears outline. He cut very far out. When I have to see my doctor her assistant scream when she saw the ugly cuts..... Some of my face lift scars is black coloring.......... In the middle of my ear there was a big necrosis where it became a raised scar when healed. A large white lump of scar. Why necrosis This is due to the incompetent of the surgeon. Pulling way too hard, putting way too much tension on the incision..... I have huge lumps of raised scars all over the place................................................. Revision cannot fix this butcher's incompetence.. He cut about 1/4 cm outside the line and under my ear it is more like 1/2 cm from the line. No one will want his face lifts if they know he puts the incision onto your face........ It is very sloppy and he charged 11,500 usd for that?>> go onto realself and you can find a Seattle,WA charged the same price and that includes aftercare. This lady on the review also done facelift and a necklift. Pretty like my case. I don't have much sagging. I didn't like my laugh line was the reason Other plastic surgeons in usa told me i need a liposuction an not a neck lift. Check the result of the Seattle, WA plastic surgeon. He done it nicely scars are well hidden... Seattle cost of living is way high than Taipei Taiwan....
I think what he did to me is criminal. He cut onto my face without my informed consent. He didn't honor any of my wishes. As for my forehead lift I told him not to cut my forehead muscles. On my right side, I can feel he made a lot of cuts. If u touch my right eyebrow you can feel the lumps under my eyebrow.. He made cuts there.... what for???? It only made dents on my eyebrow....... Left eyebrow area feels normal but the right is all butchered.. butchered muscles.
\

He doesn't care. When my forehead lift using endotines wasn't ready to be remove after 16 days, he didn't even stitch back the one his nurse removed. If it is't ready then why he left it open. During my night flight home, I was bleeding from the open incision. By the time I arrived home no clinics or doctor office are open, By next time when I could see a doctor, I was told it's been over 24 hrs. When it is over that time open wounds cannot be stitched up. As up to date, all doctors I saw feel I got scam. For what I paid, it is very poor work that this butcher done to me.

All the negative reviews I read about this doctor is all truth. I encountered all those problems at his clinic. His employees all seem very unhappy. None smile. Also
they told me for my stay there, they will give me aftercare but that was just all talk. I gone in twice both time was bad. I waited a long time. When I got my turn the assistant just spent less than a few minutes using a Q-tip on top of my incision. They called that cleaning. Then she didn't bother to clean my endotine incisions.....
The other time they didn't clean me at all, just sat me in front of a special like for 15 minutes. It supposed to help me to better heal??? better heal???? This barbaric type of surgery is sometime I wouldn't wish my worst enemy having to face...... I am still in a lot of pain.................... Doctors told me he over done it. They asked me if he was even a plastic surgeon and is a licensed doctor?????

@Forthetruth2019 I’m so sorry to hear what happened. There are some injections and lasers which may help with the scars, or perhaps fats graft or fillers to improve the dents on your face. Perhaps you would like to check with your doctors?

I considered lower SMAS facelift about 2 years ago, paid the deposit, but chickened out in the end. I was worried about the scars and gathered the risks would outweigh any marginal improvements since I don’t have pronounced sagging. I’m still procrastinating about threadlifts because of longevity issue, but I don’t think I’m ready for facelift yet.

Yes, I shouldn't have got mine done either.
I got scammed big time in taiwan.
The doctor is a big fraud.
I asked him at consultation and make sure he understood of my concerns and expected outcomes.
He didn't care. He didn't tell me how horrible his face lift scars are. He didn't tell me he cuts out of the line. He cut very far out. I can never pull my hair back. Around the earlobe he cut out more more than 3/4 cm. near the mid ear area he cut out an inch and there is no hair that hides it either. He gave me necrosis, and both side of my face had horrible grayish brown skin. To insult my intelligence he told me try to wash it out with warm water and soap. Necrosis from face lifts are due to the negligent and carelessness of an inexperience plastic surgeon pull way too hard and pulling and placing too much tension on the skin at the incisions. There is also overlapping of skin. The necrosis gave me about 1 cm of raised white bump when it healed. I didn't need a face lift since I too didn't have sagging. I just didn't like my laugh line but the high SMAS didn't do much from that. High SMAS golden standard of face lift is bull **** and when done my a scam artist will leave you look odd. I have a lot of bumps and lumps and to the right of both of my eyes I have very large dents that is clear cut botched face lift tell tail sign.

continue...
This doctor didn't even disclose the facts to me about how he does any of his surgery. Didn't even tell me when I asked him what he does the most. It is boob jobs that I found out later and horrible facial procedure. For eyelids he also did it very horribly. The middle of my right eyes have a lump which looks like he move fat on it. Makes no sense. Closer to the end of my right eye he made a bump there. Made no sense to do that. Very sloppy work.
This scum bag of the earth please anyone reading avoid him or you regret. why?
1. Dishonesty when you ask him at consultation about your concerns and worries. He won't tell u that he is a quack. If he tells you how he does your surgery you go elsewhere and he end up with no business.
2. Poor aesthetic, For face lifts he charge a lot. He charged like some plastic surgeons will charged in the western world such as USA, Canada and UK.
Why anyone would paid him top dollars for Asia region for barbaric face lifts is because he lies to his patients. Take their money and play dumb afterward

3. Tell patients they don't need aftercare because no one will paid him a dime if they only known how he can destroy your face and the damage is beyond and cannot be repair. After care will end up putting you into extra thousands of dollars. Why paid for sloppy face lifts from someone who lack skills???? He will tell you he is face lift expect. Don't do anything oversea because after care will cost you a whole lot more. Most plastic surgeons do not treat botched surgery aftercare........... If I had done it in my home country it includes after care .

4. I am still in horrible pain even though I am over 19 months post op.
5. I was left with nerve damage. Inexperience nurse didn't do insertion of IV needle right then a day later they had a senior nurse to redo IV at another spot. My right hands if you touch it you feel tightness compare to my left hand. Gone to see two specialist on this. Sometimes it hard so bad and nothing I can do about it. Nerve damage................ Doctors said if I can recover from it , takes at least 1 year to 18 months. .Well, I am over that time and still no recovering or the condition get better

6. The scum bag plastic surgeon used fat to fill in my laugh line when the fat mostly dissolved. The injection of fat into my laugh line left me with one noticeable scar.
7. Nurse was sloppy when removing stitches left the one on my laugh line there. And months later a nurse found that I have another stitch left on my face lift incision. The thread was white and not black as he used on my laugh line. For weeks the black stitch on my laugh line looked like maybe a large black head or maybe a pimple that dried up. The skin near that black stitch was getting infected and then I noticed it is a stitch the nurse forgot to remove.

8 My forehead lift was horribly done. He pulled my brows up way too high.
This is very poor judgment. My brows on places too far up from the brow bones. Another clear sign of botched plastic surgery. One brow is noticeable lower than the other brow.
9. scam man plastic surgeon in Taipei, Taiwan will not tell you that forehead lift stitches take more than 16 days to remove. Sometimes up to a month.. So what do you do when u are only scheduled to stay less than that time. The scam man don't care. THey attempted to remove my forehead stitches on day of departure but it couldn't. Not heal yet. The bad plastic surgeon aka boob job man of taipei , taiwan didn't even bother to stitch it back up and quickly left was really negligent. I bleed out badly on my night flight home. Got home when all medical facility are already closed. Next day I tried to get it stitched up and was told you have to get it done within 24 hrs or open wounds cannot be re-stitched after that time. My endotine under that open wound took forever to disolved, The scar there is very bad. Hair can never grow back due to the quacks technique. He uses a cauterizer to cut you open and not a knife. This will leave you with a 2nd degree burn and his technique of stitching you up putting high tension on the incision will caused tons of collagen to form. This is not what you want because with such heavy collagen build up , hair cannot grow back............................. The hypertropic scars from his face lift incisions is too much build up of collagen which is caused by the scam man plastic surgeon and not the patient's healing ability............ U can dig deep and you will find the answer to everything I told you. All caused by the unskilled plastic surgeon charging top Asia region for plastic surgeon. The doctor speaks English well and I know there was no miss communication. He is the scum of the earth . He didn't and cannot honor anyone's wishes. So if you trust him he will end up regret it............... Wishes are never honored.

If you are from other countries, I would recommend you to at least consult with one or two agency. You can send them your photos and it usually a free consultation. They can actually set up an online consultation with some doctors if you want. But be careful to choose agency that have partnerships with many hospitals/clinics so you have options to choose from.

If I had to pick, I would choose Dr Kirk at Namu. I really liked his natural b+a smas facelifts and the price was reasonable. I was very tempted to book but ended up getting fat graft at MVP again. His clinic has 2 in house anaesthesiologists.
