Regular Member Dr. William Lindsey Posted February 24, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted February 24, 2010 Great job. And that preop is the hallmark of a bad facelift in my opinion. We have a fellow close by who likes to remove female sideburns too. He gives a whale of a pull, but it looks horrible there in the temple. Your patient should be delighted.

Senior Member Dr. Scott Alexander MD Posted March 2, 2010 Author Senior Member Share Posted March 2, 2010 Dr. Lindsey, thanks for your comment on this patient. Actually the plastic surgeon is the one who referred this patient to me. I do not understand why they need to remove the sideburns. In fact the patient had no idea his sideburns were going to be gone after the surgery. He is extremely happy now and loves his new hair. - Please feel free to visit our website : Dr. Scott Alexander website and online consultation form Dr. Alexander is an elite member of the Coalition of Independent Hair Restoration Physicians Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Dr. William Lindsey Posted March 3, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted March 3, 2010 Dr. A. I don't know either. But some docs like to swing for a homer every case. We have a guy nearby who does just that. Those mega pulls can often hold up for years...but in my opinion the patient looks very unusual for the first several months. By cutting up along the parietal scalp and pulling, you can address crows feet somewhat and brow drooping, but unless you are willing to cut trichophyitcally along the edge of the sideburn(and many don't) you wind up like your patient.

colyma88 Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Here is another example of facial restoration with sideburns. Hope this is what people were asking for examples of in the other forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
