I had sculptra and it had ruined my face.
My face is distorted one sid bigger than the other, my cheeks are masive, I can not smile anymore as it looks hideous when I do.
I am suicidale, do the doctors that inject this stuff understand the atomy of the face, I do not think so.
That one mistake has ruined my marriage, and my life !

Had facelift/necklift to rid of neck bands, sagging neck skin & nasial folds. Developed cellulitis 1 side of face, looked like the guy on cover of Mad Magazine. Was given a cooling mask to wear for 3 days: day 2 mask malfunctioned-on so many pain pills didnt know a hot mask was making matters worse.
At 5 months notices “tight” neck of necklift start to sag; now neck looks like it did b4 surgery: you cannot tell I had a neck lift. Went to Dr today: he will do revision @ cost of $4,000! I said excuse me but you did a neck lift, facelift 7 mo ago for $8200 and now want to charge me $4000 for a “Mini Lift”.. he was written in Beauty Magazine & Local Magazine as Top Plastic Surgeon….I am disappointed discouraged knowing I did my homework, had 3 consults w/top surgeons. I did my homework. My expectations were not high. I had 3 consults with this PS b4 deciding, he stood me in front of the mirror & showed me what I would look like Post Op…. I’ll be wearing a lot of turtenecks this winter

Hi there

I am a Producer with MTV. We are currently making a programme about quick fix weight loss solutions and the things that can go horribly wrong with them. We hope that the programme will act as a warning to young people to think very carefully before resorting to surgery to improve their physical appearance. We are looking for people who have had liposuction procedures which have gone wrong who might be willing to share their stories with us. If this is something you would consider doing it would be great if you would contact me at claire.allitt@mtvne.com or call me on 0207 284 7408. All contact will be treated in the strictest of confidence and will give you no obligation to appear in the programme. I look forward to hearing from you!

Best wishes

Claire Allitt

I had a face lift 1 1/2 yrs ago. About 6 months ago, the places where the Dr put the
stiches and staples swelled up and started to
ache. Now I live on pain releivers and my
head hurts all the time. Its hard to sleep
because when I lay on the bumps, it hurts worse.
Has anyone else ever experienced this?

I had my ears pinned back when I was 12 years old, which is 12 years ago now! The surgeon explained the what he’d be doing before hand! But when I came round from the operation he came to see me and explained that he had to redesign my cartalage as they wouldn’t of stayed back! At this point I was young and to tired to ask for a proper explanation so I just left it! After two days I kept feeling faint as the bandage was so tight around my head my mum decided to take me back to the hospital where I was told that it was suppose to be tight and it was coming off in five days so try to put up with it! When the time came to tak. The bandage off the surgeon said “oh um……I think the bandage was to tight and the cartalage has collapsed!” I remember looking in the mirror and just cried! The surgeon said to wait a couple of weeks to see if they pop out or anything! He said he’d send for me! But he never did so my ears were deformed And I hated them so much! I spent the last 11years covering them up I didn’t let anyone see them! Even my partner I showed him after a year of dating! But a couple of months ago I decided I has enough and decided to see I could have anything done! The surgeon I went to see told me well it’s a very complicated operation and to be honest your a very pretty girl I don’t think people will be looking a your ears! At this point I started crying, he also said that he couldn’t find my notes on the last operation 12 years ago so he didn’t know what the last surgeon did! Any hoo he described what he could try and do and I waited for my appointment! Three days later I was given that date for two weeks time! In that time I researched everything I could! When the day arrived the surgeon came to see me and explained eveything again only this time he told me there would only be a 20% improvement and would I be happy with that! I would be! So we went ahead! When I woke up from the operation he came to see me! And said that in the first operation the surgeon never cut away cartalage only skin and that’s why it had collapsed as skin shrinks but he was able to smooth out the ear! I still have the bandages on now but was able to have a sneaky peek as I was having trouble with the bandage and they wanted to change it! And so far they do look better but it’s too early to tell as they are so swollen! Their still not normal but they are better than before! Hopefully for my wedding i can wear my hair up! (haven’t worn it up ever, as before my ears stuck out and then they were deformed) the surgeon also said if I still wernt happy they would take rib and form it into the shape of ears and then take a skin graft but we’ll see
thanks for Reading x x x

well its worse when its on the face because you cant cover it up i had ear pin back surgery and the cartilage rolled and ended up with difigured cauliflower ears then another surgeon tried to improve it and ended up lossing part of my middle ear so ive been living with this for 14 years.plastic surgeons will lie and never admit to anything as it makes them liable. Anyone one thinking of plastic surgery then dont.if you you happen to come face to face with one then run for your life
