Los Alamitos Facelift Doctors and Reviews

“A Whole New World Lies Ahead for Me...”

I actually had 3 procedures: a brow lift, neck lift and face lift in one surgery, after many years of deliberation. I never thought I would want to be surgically altered, but now that I have been by Dr. Kessler, I could not be happier! As a professional public speaker, my life, my work, my outlook has been improved! more

“Love This Doctor's Work! - Newport...”

I was referred to Dr. Sadati by Michael P. Lafkas, M.D. I had the mini facelift including neck procedure done, and I couldn't be happier with the results! I felt little to no pain during the procedure, experienced a little bruising, and returned to work within five days. I had a Doctor friend tell me that he has never seen such neat sutures! I look and feel 10 years younger!  more

“Great Facelift Surgeon in Newport...”

I had been wanting to do something for several years to eliminate a turkey neck and jowls. I did not want to look like I had a major face lift but rather like I had a good night's sleep. The outcome was exactly what I had hoped for. The procedure was easy (some discomfort the first night due to swelling and the bandages) and with our granddaughters (3 & 5 yrs old) coming for a visit in 4... more

“I Wanted to Look Like Myself ......”

I felt young but was looking much older than I felt. I didn't want to look different. I wanted to look younger and refreshed. I had a full face and neck lift six years ago. There was some discomfort, but not any pain that was not managable. The only real "discomfort" is that I had to rest and heal for at least six weeks before going back to my active lifetstyle. I have always felt happy,... more

“The Best Facelift Surgeon in...”

My name is Colleen and I'm 72 years old. Which is still a surprise to me when I say it or write it. Now, Thanks to Dr. Sadati, I look 20 years younger according to a family vote. Needless to say, I am thrilled! I still can't believe the incredible difference in my looks and the positive comments from my friends to strangers, that say they can't believe I'm 72! I had been contemplating a... more

“Dr. Afifi is the GREATEST! - Orange...”

I am a 47 yr old man but looked like i was in my 50's. I decided it was time to get rid of the bags under my eyes and sagging jawline. I had lower eyelid surgery, neck-lift and lower face-lift done by her 7/18/12. It was an excellent time throughout the entire process. Everybody at her office is very nice and helpful (Wayne was great!). The surgery went well and my recovery has been... more

“I'm Now a Young Chick! - Orange...”

Last year I had a Lite Lift performed by Dr. Larry Nichter in Huntington Beach. The results were amazing with no visible scars. I am 70 years old but now do not look it. At All. Yet no one would ever guess I had work done. Just look natural. Recently I had lunch with my old boss and he could not get over how great I look. Kept shaking his head. He finally said "well, you are Italian...you must... more

“My Favorite Plastic Surgeon, Dr....”

I am 65 years old and wanted a doctor not only skilled in his specialty but a doctor who could handle any unforeseen emergencies. I opted for a full facelift (from forehead to neck and everything in-between). He also used some of my own fat to replace what I had lost under the eyes and lips due to age. more

“Good experience so far, Los Angeles, CA”

I read a lot of article in RealSelf and they helped me a lot in the whole process, so I thought I will share mine. I am 45 years old, I am not sure if it is a bit young to get this kind of procedure. I lost 35 pounds in the past year by myself with no help, maybe my diet was not well balanced. Not sure. I really didn't like what I saw in the mirror every morning. I had jowls, I looked... more

“Facelift/neck Lift/cheek Lift/Live...”

As a 60th birthday present to myself, after a lot of research, I scheduled a consultation with Dr Moelleken. I had considered a neck-lift or mini-facelift for a couple years, my saggy jaw line a motivating factor. It has been 14 days since my surgery, and although I still have a small bruise on my left cheek and a bit if swelling and numbness, I have a refreshed look but not a drastic... more

“What a Fabulous Experience and...”

Dr. Kessler performed my neck and facelift surgery approximately a month ago. From the moment I woke up from surgery I looked and felt wonderful. I came out of surgery with minimal bruising and swelling. I experienced little or no pain, just a dull headache that went away with Tylenol. Most importantly I instantly looked years younger and extremely natural. I couldn't be more delighted.... more

“I Look Like Myself Again - Beverly...”

Some people age well and look great. I wasn't so lucky. Dr. Moelleken did beautiful work. Minimal downtime and the scars are hidden. more

“Facelift - Torrance, CA”

Never liked my nose, facelift needed. Why: My nose was too wide, wanted it fixed since I was in my late 20's. Then in my late 50's, I had the typical jowel and neck sagging which I couldn't stand another minute. Recovery: As soon as I was awake and saw my face in the mirror (even with the swelling) I knew the surgery was a success, having a sister who had a couple things... more

“Facelift - Newport Beach, CA”

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 got a facelift because my wrinkles became the most dominant feature of my face, I... more

“Life Changing...really. - Beverly...”

I did it because i looked much older than i felt. i don't have that feeling any more! i feel fantastic. Being in the public eye, i was always very self conscience about my chin--or lack of one. i knew  with age that it was only going to get worse.  i was also tired of people telling me i looked tired when i was not.  in my early 40's my chin was almost blending into... 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

“Talent, Passion and Perfection for...”

I eally disliked the look of my face. Looking longer and my neck being so loose and wrinkly. Dr H not only addressed all my concerns, and although I had consistently seen some of his great work, I was most impressed with Dr H’s  genuine kindness and caring manner, as well as his  attention to the smallest details. On my first visit I knew I had finally found the right... more

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.

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.

Problem 1: Hair loss... At my 2 week mark... 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.

I went for a consult because i am over 50, but i looked beautiful though a little laxity around lower jaw. the doctor insisted that because of my age (although i looked 15 years younger due to thermage treatments and good lifestyle) i had to do something so he insisted i had a facelift.I do not look like myself at all. he pushed all my facial tissue to my cheekbones and bec 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.

This exoerience exceeded my standards significantly. The only... more

Consultations with both were... 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

“Good Facelift”

My facelift experience has been a good one. I had wrinkles all over my neck , jawline and forehead. The wrinkling was premature since i am just 40. So facelift was a good option and i had seen some friends get it done with great results. I also saw the same. There was no inpatient stay involved and i came home when we were done. It did hurt, not during the facelift but later, when i came home... more
