Beware plastic surgeon Elahi Mohammed! *Trigger warning*
Is that a before/after montage ?
I def see a difference ...
I clearly see a difference. So -shrug-
Same...
A difference worth over 10k?
It depends.
Is the first picture before FFS or after FFS ?
Have you had FFS after the facelift or before the facelift ?
What I want to know is this ;
Is the difference seen in the pictures due to FFS or the facelift. So telling us when the first photo was taken will help.
I'd pay that 10k if this is the result of the 10k. Your face seems to be more soft and feminine on the second picture.
I had FFS years before I had this facelift. My FFS has absolutely nothing to do with my facelift. If you would pay over 10k for this result than you have very low standards my dear. This result could of been accomplished with just filler alone.

Removed. Rule 1.
I'm confused, is this an FFS surgeon? You say you went to him for a facelift and that he blamed your dissatisfaction on having had FFS, so is this supposed to be a warning about an FFS surgeon or a plastic surgeon who doesn't do FFS?
Also if it helps, I can absolutely see a difference between those two photos. You don't look like a different person, and that's what like 98% of surgeons aim for
Edit: looking through your comments it seems like the facelift was for nasolabial folds and marionette lines? Unfortunately yeah, I don't see much of a difference there, and I'm sorry you didn't get the results you were after. I am still confused on if this surgeon does FFS or if this is just some random plastic surgeon.
He's not an ffs surgeon. He's a plastic surgeon. I confided to him that I am transgender and he used it as an excuse to throw back in my face for why my facelift has me looking exactly the same
Sounds like lawyer time
I feel like I can see some differences, but idk what exactly you agreed on or were expecting
Lifting my nasolabial folds and marionette lines
Mmmmm got it. I can see something of a difference there but it’s not dramatic, and it sounds like you were hoping for a stronger result, which I guess hinges on what was promised/talked about. On the one hand, I don’t think you had strong issues or any real “need” for that specific work, but that’s immaterial to whether or not the surgeon did the work requested. That being said, I think the fact that you didn’t have particular strong lines means that there’s inherently going to be less of a difference in the before and after vs someone with more pronounced wrinkles, which might be worth considering.
My opinion for whatever it’s worth is that you look great (in case that’s any concern), but that you probably do have a good reason to be upset at the surgeon for under delivering.
This procedure cost me thousands of dollars. I would have better results with filler. I look the same luv
Rf microneedling i feel is working for me. Also tret but you cant do both at the same time
How long after the surgery is the after photo?
Yes OP please know swelling can make it very hard to tell any difference at first.
It has been 5 months
Do you have a link to this surgeon?
What do you mean a link? He has a website is that what you mean?
Yes
I found this
https://doctors.cpso.on.ca/DoctorDetails/Elahi-Mohammed-Mehboob/0155158-72950
Note under "Concerns" there's 2 recent complaints against him to the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario.

I've had a BBL with this same surgeon and it went great. But damn, I guess he isn't touching my face.
Omg thank-you! I wish I found this sooner
Sorry it didn't match your expectations :(
But the difference is very clear for me!
A difference worth over 10k?
I mean nobody should pay that much for a surgery
Lol you're in the wrong subreddit than. Most trans related surgeries cost 10k and over.
I paid 8 bucks for a nose job because it’s covered by Medicaid 😭 Surgeries could be so much cheaper
(Though the surgeon sucked and I need another)
I was told by my surgeon (I also had a facelift) that facelifts don’t really improve nasolabial folds. I can see a small improvement. It’s not possible to remove them completely because they’d have to pull way too much and you’d basically look like the joker. Since nasolabial folds are kinda in the middle of the face. Marionette lines, on the other hand, can be improved with a lower facelift. I hear restoring lost volume is the way (fillers, fat graft, etc) to improve nasolabial folds.
Looking at your pic more closely, I don’t think you needed a facelift which is also why your results are underwhelming.
I've seen people have both improved with a facelift

I completely disagree. This isn't worth over 10k . I've seen better facelift results
[deleted]
I don't need you to beat me down by telling me I could have done "better" research. The results he showed me looked good but we're probably nothing but Photoshop. I clearly communicated what I wanted and he did not deliver.
[deleted]
I did not ask your opinion on whether I did good research or not. I beat myself down enough about this. Try to practice empathy and not apathy "sweetheart".
Which is the before and after picture
That's the problem. It should be obvious:(
The picture on the right looks like the lifted one based off your procedures you can’t expect a face lift to do anything other than well lift the face which the picture on the right looks a lot better so hopefully that’s you now.
Nothing was lifted. I look virtually the same. But you're entitled to your opinion.
Do you have any before and after photos in lightning that is a little brighter or maybe the light is in front of you? From these photos I do agree it looks like no changes were made.
I feel like it isnt too late for the OP to delete this.
Why would I delete this? Just because people in this subreddit disagree and think this facelift is worth 10k? Their entitled to their opinion. But ab opinion does not make it a fact.
10k is cheap even basic operations like boobs are pushing 7k not counting all the bills youll get months later.
If it's so cheap give me 10k than. I'll accept it via cash app

I feel horrible. I wasted my life savings
Sweetie pie I'm sorry to hear that. Face lift in US or Europe cost a lot of money. You should have gone over to Asia such as Korea or Thailand, even Vietnam to get these things done. It'll be like 3x cheaper if not 4x, I'm dead serious and they do great work there
If the laugh lines bother you, I recommend getting fat grafting to that area, it's very affordable. I mean I've fat grafting to my full face a few years ago and my doctor only charge 3.5k and this is full face meaning I put some on my cheeks, laugh lines, temples, forehead, and chin and a bit in my lips. Fat grafting to face is amazing and a very under the radar and underrated procedure on so many level. If someone is not in their 40s yet but want to look younger/turn back the clock a few years then do fat grafting instead before getting face lift...
I did fat grafting once and didn't see any lasting change. My mother did fat grafting as well.
Fat grafting is something you need to do more than once usually 3-6 months after the first procedure because the amount of fat that would survive after being injected is usually 30% max so imagine if the doctor didn't overfilled your face then most likely you won't see any left after a week lmao. Also depends on whether or not your surgeon is skilled. Fat die very easy but if it survive it's there for a long time. My surgeon was super nice meaning he didn't charge me for the 2nd fat grafting because he knows the drill that most of the fat wouldn't survive after 1st session so we'd need to do another session a few months later. Also everybody skin structure, immune system and lifestyle are different so...
Fat grafting save money in the long run compared to getting fillers. In my case I've a sunken temple and under eyes area so after injected fat to these area, not only my temples are full but once you have volume in the temples area, it actually pulls my eyes out, makes my eyes more elongated/cat eyes which I love. After fat grafting procedure you're not supposed to put pressure on your face/massage them too much, need to wear that compression band for 1 week, and you're not supposed to be out in the hot sun bathing or whatever too soon. Those first 2 weeks are crucial for the survival of the fat, certain people neglecting aftercare then they won't get the result they looking for.
I love PDO thread lifting so OP can look into this in the future but again a lot of people who have done this procedure didn't like it, they said it didn't last blah blah blah. That's why earlier I said everyone skin structure, immune system and lifestyle is different. I love my PDO thread but I always tell people you need to find provider who offer Mint (brand) PDO. Those are the best, other brands are questionable.
Who was your surgeon
