Everything is beginning to sag. The third picture shows the COBRA NECK even with head tilted back. It’s sad that a pic with my grandson can’t give me 100% happiness. The added flaps to my neck are just too noticeable. I did not have them before TWO SURGERIES to improve my neckline. Three years ago, I underwent an endoscopic brow lift, deep plane face lift, and neck lift at Sand plastic surgery. The procedures left me with SIGNIFICANT, PERMANENT NUMBNESS, ITCHING, TINGLING SENSATIONS, A FEELING OF STRETCHED SKIN AROUND THE ENTIRE PERIMETER OF MY FACE, AND INTERMITTENT PAIN. After the neck lift left me with “COBRA NECK”, Dr. Sand did a REVISION neck lift (another $2000 for anesthesia and weeks of recovery), which merely tightened my skin further, leaving the divot below my neck and ADDITIONAL NUMBNESS. The DIVOT causes the skin on either side of my face line to protrude. Imagine, if you will, pushing your thumb into a stress ball. The sides only retreat as you remove your thumb. Dr. Sand was sympathetic, but attributed the nerve damage on my nerve system and called the divot “expected scarring”. While I was looking for a resolution which would eliminate the symptoms and a smooth face line, he suggested temporary relief fixes such as Botox, a variety of prescription drugs, and acupuncture. I believe he felt sorry for me, but never accepted responsibility. Only to say that I am his only patient who has had these results. While I’m happy for the others, I am left with the deformity, numbness, itching, and pain.
