I hate to post this. Particularly as I am booked in for the same clinic in a few weeks.

Hi,
From my reading of that, it sounds like a very exceptional reaction to surgery but it is nevertheless good to know that such things can happen. However, you should definitely be aware of the fact that you can look pretty terrifying during the first few days after FFS, especially if you are operated on around the eyes.
If you had taken a close of photo of me after my first FFS surgery (upper face only but including upper and lower blepharoplasty) I looked pretty bad too and could hardly see through the slits that were my eyes for 3 days. Julia from Madrid has just reported a similar experience with Chett in Bangkok.

1 day post op July 2011
When my wife saw me on Skype her reaction was close to that of the little boy mentioned in the article. The fact is, some of us swell up a lot more than others (and age is probably an aggravating factor) and that has little to do with who is doing the surgery. The good news is that the worst of it is generally over with two or three weeks later and from what I have read elsewhere, it appears Kellie is now fine.
One other comment on what happened to Kellie. I believe taking Aspirin before major surgery is generally forbidden (it definitely was for my GRS) and in this case, if the usual procedure was followed, it as quite likely she was also given an anticoagulant shot the evening before the surgery. This is done so that patients don't have to interrupt their HRT. However, the anticoagulant does increase bruising and swelling compared to not using one.
Knowing this, when I did my second FFS surgery, with the surgeons permission, I did not take the anticoagulant. Coincidence or not, about ten days post-op I had a superficial thrombosis at the IV site on my left arm. It was not at all life threatening but it was very spectacular and did require a late night visit to a hospital emergency center.
The alternative would be to stop HRT two weeks before surgery and maintain the interruption for a couple of weeks afterwards but, most of the time, this is not at all necessary.

omg that is horrible. i feel so sorry for her.
think it said taking blood thinning asprin for a prolonged period after a heart attack was the likely cause?
sucks how old health issues can continue to crop up throuout our lives and continue to wreak havoc later.
i only had to take asprin for 2-3 weeks, so hopefully it doesnt pop up later on to haunt me.

Blood thinning agents and exceptional rare reaction the anesthesia caused it.
Well, it is major surgery. So I do not see why this is such big news. Complications are to be expected. Given the age (60 something) and a history of health issues such as heart attacks, things are increasingly dangerous.
When I had SRS, I even stopped eating garlic and vitamin E for the fear of blood thinning. I quit drinking and smoking years ahead, and lost 40 pounds exclusively for SRS. And even after my meticulous preparation I had complications. Can't really blame a surgeon for such cases. Everyone reacts differently.
Her family now wants her to have UK surgeon if she needs another operation. Which is ridiculous to say the least. It also strange that she warns about surgeons in "foreign countries". It has nothing to do with anything. Some of the best surgeon are foreign. Even the best surgeons have clients who do NOT follow pre-op instructions, which is likely the cause for all of this.

Yep I looked like that just recently after FFS but boy was it worth it.

Indeed, swelling can be pretty massive:

With Chett, this happened to me. Add the upper eyelid swelling to the lower swelling caused by the rhinoplasty and I barely could see a thing. In my caseI kept the full cast for 10 days, so it was hiding some of the bruising. Luckily, I am a fast healer with a reallly good health before the surgery. I have even dropped what little alcohol I took after three weeks of nothing. It's too bad I still have a long road to travel until I am fully healed and swelling goes down. 6 monthts for the final result, in Chett's words.
I think Julia-Madrid went with Facial Team in Marbella.

Then you should see real results instead of listening to bull->-bleeped-<-. Chett did wonders with my freakish face, and the other girls at the hotel looked great. For the first time in my life I am not ashamed of my face and can look at my own reflection on a mirror.
