I had been seeing a skin care M.D. for several years using Botox, fillers and laser treatments, including Ultherapy, for facial rejuvenation but reached the point where I felt I needed to consider surgery to achieve the results I wanted. Knowing that my skin care physician saw many patients with goals similar to mine, I asked for her recommendation. She suggested I see a minimum of three surgeons to fully educate myself about the process but to also compare and contrast recommendations, expectations, anticipated outcomes, and each surgeon’s personal style. She also told me that she would put Dr. Haresh Yalamanchili at the top of the list as she used the word “amazing” to describe the results she had seen from the work he performed on her patients.
Dr. Yalamanchili was the first of three surgeons I met with. I was immediately very impressed. His office and staff are lovely, professional, discrete and efficient. As is he. Dr. Yalamanchili was warm and approachable, asking about my goals and concerns and in turn he patiently provided a great deal of information about the procedure he recommended to meet my goals. Although it appeared to be a busy office, the amount of time and focus he spent with me during the consultation made it seem as though I was the only person there. I walked out thinking I did not need to see any other surgeons but did follow through with two additional highly recommended ones. While they both recommended the same procedure as Dr. Yalamanchili had – a lower face and neck lift - I felt more educated, assured, and confident about the expected outcome with Dr. Yalamanchili.
I could not be more pleased with both the results and the process! Dr. Yalamanchili has that perfect combination of an artistic eye guiding his surgical expertise and he indeed creates amazing results. My lower face and neck lift is more than I had hoped for – a refreshed and more youthful appearance but still very natural. I had minimal swelling and only the faintest of bruising – I was able to confidently go out after only 7-10 days. As for the process, for the first week following surgery Dr. Yalamanchili checks in with you daily to see how you are feeling, if you have any questions, and makes it clear that he will see you within minutes if you have any concerns. To minimize scarring, he removes the sutures the moment they are ready, even if it means he meets you at his office on the weekend. He continues the close monitoring and his immediate availability for weeks following the surgery. I am extremely pleased with the results and the experience and highly recommend Dr. Yalamanchili!
