Manhattan Beach Facelift Doctors and Reviews

“Pure Awesomeness - Los Angeles, CA”

I was young to be getting a facelift, but I had lost a lot of weight (over 120 lbs). My face had really started to sag. Dr. Hughes told me that a facelift would help with part of the problem, but he also recommended fat grafting to improve the fullness in some parts of my face. The recovery was only about a week, although it did take 2 weeks before I felt comfortable going out. I was kind of... more

“Face/Neck Lift and Fat Transfer -...”

5 Days ago I had Face/Neck Lift and Fat Transfer to eye/nose/lip area. I am very swollen and Double Chin is still there and sides of my face are numb and swollen. One eye has 2 lumps and is darker than the other. Is this normal after surgery? I look worse than before surgery. What can I expect in the next 5 days? I do have to return to work - right now it... 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

“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

“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

“Facelift - Beverly Hills, CA”

A facelift is worth the money! It made me a better me! I look the same, just a fresher and a little younger version of me. Dr. Fleming is wonderful! I don't have that "Done" look. Dr. Fleming is very precise and caring. His staff is wonderful! I cannot say enough great things about him. I look great and my experience was great! more

“Five-star, Premier Experience!...”

Although I spent about 3 months researching this procedure and doctor, I truly feel comfortable recommending her to everyone! I am trying to think about the cons of this experience, but there is simply nothing! I guarantee that anyone who comes to Dr. Sunders will be as pleased as I am. Splendid job! 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

“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

“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

“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

“The Surgery Took 7 to 8 Years off my...”

I used to look tired even though I wasn't. My facelift was a life changing experience. I look exactly the same as I did a decade before the surgery. I received various compliments after the procedure, but no one suspected plastic surgery. I just look well rested. more

“Over 50, Face Lift Not What I...”

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

“My Face/Neck Lift Looks Natural”

My results were fantastic and very subtle. The only con was that my ears were more tender that anticipated. more

“I Had a 360 Face Lift with Neck...”

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... more

“Did I Lose Weight??? Nah, Just Got a...”

AsI got older, my jowls were getting deeper and my chins were multiplying at an alarming rate.I started researching facelifts in earnest. Price was a concern but results trumped price. I am located 15-minutes from Beverly Hills with easy access to 91210 doctors. I narrowed my search to a renown Beverly Hills doctor and one highly recommended by another doctor. Consultations with both were... more

“My SoCal Face-lift Experience”

I just had my face-lift surgery three months ago. I’m 44 years old and have lived in South California my whole life. My husband and I are both in the media industry so needless to say we are used to being around pretty people all the time! Getting a face-lift was something I did for my career as much as my own self-esteem. I checked out all of the prominent SoCal surgeons and received... 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
