Plastic Surgery Expert Opines on Botched Face lift

Case Overview

This case involves a diabetic male patient who underwent a face lift and facial chemical peel in South Carolina. The patient was not given or prescribed any antibiotics after the procedure was completed. Within a week of the surgery, the patient began to complain about the incision and peel not healing. The doctor continued to advise this was normal and didn’t prescribe any further treatment. When the patient consulted his family physician, he diagnosed her with an infection in the wound and skin and prescribed an antibiotic. The wounds and skin eventually healed, but left significant scar tissue.
