Signs of Poorly Done Face Lift - What Are The
Signs of a Bad Facelift
By
Dr. Jim Greene
|
|
Due to the possibilities
of complications as well as your choice of surgeons, you may run a
chance of having a botched face lift. While this chance may be smaller
than that of any possible complications, it is still a possibility. If
you have a poorly done face lift, everyone will be able to tell almost
immediately as you enter the room. Sometimes it can be so bad that
people may even stare.
The point in having a face
lift to begin with is to have a more youthful appearance, unfortunately,
if the face lift is done poorly, you may end up with quite the opposite. |
|
It is not
uncommon for a person who has a poorly done face lift to end
up with an unnatural look. This comes from the skin being
pulled too tightly and may sometimes be the fault of the
surgeon taking cutting too much skin away at the pull
points.
This can
happen at just one point, or in the cases of an uncertified
plastic surgeon, all of the pull points may end up too tight
and therefore not only having an unnatural look to it, your
face may also appear to be too dry as well. |

|
In general, there are 3
major pull points associated with a facelift. These pull points include
the top of the scalp at the hairline as well as below the ears at the
cheek bone. In the event that the face lift is performed poorly, the
patient would end up loosing part, if not all of his or her earlobe. The
reason for this is if the skin is pulled too tightly, the loose hanging
skin of the earlobe is stretched across the area. Once again, this gives
off a very unnatural look since not too many people are born without
earlobes. The
truth is that a poorly done face lift can be avoided if you spend the
time to ensure that you have a qualified surgeon who has a substantial
amount of experience in face lifts. There are many plastic surgeons out
there that specialize in only one or two types of procedures, while
others will do just about any of them. The one who has more experience
in face lifts and who is also the one who specializes in them is less
likely to botch the surgery. Like any surgeon, you are not going to have
a heart surgeon perform a brain surgery are you, then why not make sure
you choose a specialist who knows face lifts.
