I had my sugery done in San Diego in October. The experience with all the staff was very pleasant. Even after the surgery when I had issues with precibed drugs and other, someone always got back to me right away. This part of the expereince was ver positive.I don't think they need to advertise so dishonestly however.  There is no way anyone can go back to work after sugery within a hour. I am in my early foutries and used to be a model. I am an athlete and keep myself very attractive, slim and healthy. After sugery I was in great discomfort for about a week. They told me to sleep in a sitting postion for 2 weeks, so my face would not swoll up, which i guess everyone gets a swollen face.I could not work out for 2 month after the surgery and my scars , it has been 3 month now, still hurt even after just doin a light dance class. The sutures feel like plastic mini implants in front of my ears and behind them. I am always aware of the uncomfotable tighness and light sweeling under my skin. My right ear feels like it is clooged with water all the time. The same upper part of my face still feels numb, I guess they cut a nerve that will never heal. I do look 5-6 years younger . I guess for people only interested in looking younger, saving money on plastic surgery this may be a deal. I would probaly rather spend more money now and prefer no sutures. Recovery time; discomfort when you are sleeping, walking, talking ,eating without any discomfort, give it at least 4-6 weeks if you are healthy and a good healer.  Don't lift anything over 5 pounds,  for about 2 month, you sutures may tear. For all you women reading this, you will look younger, but everything else with this new procedure is not explained enough and over exagerated. Ask all the right questions!!!

I had to go to a real plastic surgeon in La Jolla after a year because I couldn't live with the horrible scarring. The wind couldn't blow my way out of fear the massive red scars in front of my ear lobes and down towards my jawline would show, so much for putting my hair up. Dr. Bucko's office had never seen scars like mine and agreed to re-do my surgery. WHAT A DIFFERENCE from being hacked to the works of a real professional. How I wished I had found this site before LSL surgery and had found Dr. Bucko instead. Since I haven't had any luck in retrieving a refund or acknowledgement I have given permission to have channel 10 news and Dr. Bucko report this type of malpractice.
