If you want to look very natural and refreshed, definitely have Dr. Elam do your facelift. Not only is he an exceptional plastic surgeon, but he is an artist. I look so natural and refreshed, one would never know that I had a facelift. Dr. Elam also did the CO2 laser on my face, neck and upper chest. My skin looks wonderful! I would definitely recommend Dr. Elam. In fact, my sister was so... more

“Results Exceeded All of my...”

I elected to undergo the facelift procedure because I had a very deep scowl between my brows, sagging eyelids, wrinkles in my forehead, etc. I simply wasn't happy with my appearance so I elected to change it. I am so glad that I did! I only took off one month from work and when I returned to my office, not a single person asked me whether I had something done. They simply commeted that... more

“Fantastic Surgeon - Los Angeles, CA”

Dr. Ellenbogen did a facelift, rhinoplasty, lip lift. lower blethroplasty and fat grafting on me.  That was over 3 months ago. I felt almost no pain after the surgery and only used  2 pain pills total after the surgery--just as a precaution even though I was not feeling pain just slight discomfort.  The first week I was very swollen but after that the sweeling... more

“Mid Face & Neck Lift”

I decided on my doctor after researching and speaking with 2 other board certified plastic surgeons. I've always been fairly attractive but life was definitely catching up to me. My main issues were loose neck skin, jowls, and the lack of a jaw line. I did not want the wind swept look either. My doctor seemed to know exactly what I was talking about. She showed me 'after'... more

“A True Artist with the Best Bedside...”

My neck and jawline were sagging. I also had derma brasion around my mouth and Active FX on my chest at the same time as facelift. I believe it is best to have plastic surgery at a younger age than older. It's less noticeable and lasts longer. My recovery was fast and my results fantastic. more

“Short-scar Facelift and Eye Lid -...”

I had my short-scar facelift and eye lids done 5 weeks ago. I look terrific already. I am 62 and never had anything done except some fillers once in awhile. I had pain the first two days and really it was more discomfort than pain. Two days later the bandages are removed and you wear no chin strap or anything just still some tape on your cheeks. You can shower then. Some swelling,feels... more

“Best Decision Ever - Newport Beach, CA”

I'm a 62 year Old male and just got divorced a few years back. For the past several of years it was very difficulty to look in the mirror and see the years passing by. Physically, I was just a shell of what I was when I was forties and contemplated cosmetic surgery for many years but was very concerned about some of the plastic surgery "horror stories". Finally, last year a... more

“Hair Loss & Pain in Face 5 Mos After...”

I had an open browlift and facelift the end of May 2010. I am a 54 yr old healthy woman. Reason: Eyelid skin sagged and jawline wasn't sharp anymore. Surgeon recommended open browlift instead of having eyelid surgery and necklift to correct jawline. I looked and felt great up to 2 weeks after the surgery then all hell broke loose!! Problem 1: Hair loss... At my 2 week mark... more

Dr. S did a face life and eyelid procedure for me and the outcome is completely perfect. I look 100% natural yet many, many years younger.

I had very little discomfort after the procedure, Dr. S called me at... more

“Facelift, Fat Transfer and then...”

I didn't like the sagging crepe like skin that was appearing on my face. I looked older on the outside than I felt on the inside. Having a facelift, fat transfer, dermabrasion and brow lift was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I get many compliments. I feel like the outside matches the inside now. I loved the results so much, that I now longer felt like I was too old to have a... more

Was very pleased with results of my facelift, comment from friends and family proved that I chose the right artist / surgeon I am planing on scheduling next procedure more

“Jowl and Neck Facelift Absolutely...”

The cons are hard to imagine if you have the right doctor. Pain, a week of down-time, small scarring around the ears and that is about it. The upside is fantastic! Having a perfect jawline again and looking ten years younger and having no one notice the scarring is a big plus. I had the best doctor and wouldn't let anyone else touch my face! It looks so natural. No stretched out look. Just... more

This was a positive experience from the start through the operation. The doctor was very personable and made me feel totally relaxed. His staff was equally supportive. I can see positive results one week after the operation inspite of the swelling. I set very high standards for myself and the activities I get involved in. This exoerience exceeded my standards significantly.The only negative is... more

“Right Surgeon, Right Procedure...”

I am so delighted with my facelift and lower lid canthopexy. Living here in California, we see so many bad facelifts, especially those who are pulled too tight. I am over 70 and am being approached by younger men.In thinking of my experience and that of friends, I am convinced of a couple truths.1. Find out who the other surgeons go to for their facelifts.2. If a surgeon is NOT board... more
