The jowls are gone and I look natural and refreshed. Less painful than I imagined with minimal bruising. Cost was for facelift and upper/lower eyes.

Great review?

Good doctor and staff. Payment in advance. He's popular so there may be a wait to see him but the results were worth it.

Thanks!! I heard about the Arnica pills, but didn't realize there was also a gel too. Thanks for the advice!! It's much appreciated.

I'm scheduled for my surgery on 1/26. Am having pretty much what you had done,except my lower eyes are going to be lasered. Did you go home the same day of your surgery? Am very nervous and can't wait for it to be over!!! pam
Thank you 18 Dec 2011
I was terrified but it will be okay. I stayed with a RN overnight. Buy the Arnica Montana pills and gel. Take the pills starting a few days before surgery and use the gel. It REALLY helps prevent bruising.
Good luck!

That was a great idea that you stayed with an RN for the night.  Was it something set up by the doctor's office?

Thank you 19 Dec 2011

It was set up through the doctor's office. My doctor recommended it but it's optional. The nurse I stayed with does this in connection with half-a-dozen doctors in Newport Beach, CA.
