I feel so much better about the way I look. In retrospect, I believe I felt old and tired because I looked that way, despite the fact that I'm active and live a healthy lifestyle. I've never colored my hair, although it's been turning white since I was 30, and surprisingly that has never bothered me. But the wrinkles and sagging neck-that was getting harder and harder to live with!

My husband generously offered the opportunity to take my appearance backward in time, and I was hesitant at first, questioning if I were being overly vain. Did not hesitate for long, though and said YES! My husband did the research, thought my doctor was highly qualified and a good choice and after I concurred, we made the appointment.

The procedure went smoothly, it was painless and the Doctor and staff were kind and supportive. The recovery was a little more challenging than I had imagined, but after one month I was extremely pleased with the results. When I saw the before and after pictures (6 weeks post for the after pics) I was flabbergasted at how much improved my appearance was. Yes, still white hair but a face that was atleast 10 years younger.

I think the key is patience and realizing that it takes a full month to six weeks to see the final results. I still have some numbness, but that is slowly improving and my doctor tells me it could take six months to get better. I feel wonderful and am extremely pleased with the results. I can highly recommend my doctor!

Wow, you look amazing! I just had a lower facelift done 1 week ago. Actually, your pre op pics look very similar to how my face had begun to age. I have healed well, still swollen and bruised, but feel great! My jawline seems a little less tight as swelling is going down, hope it doesn't relax too much! congrats!

hi! i have to say, i LOVE your results, your after photos convinced me to contact your doctor. i honestly think i am going to travel from a long distance away to have him do my lower face & neck. i had a telephone chat with him and really liked him. what more can you tell me? have you met other patients of his? do you think his results are consistently as good yours are? i hope you'll reply. i am excited about this.
also, it's been recommended to me to do my eyes, but after reading on this site about upper/lower bleph i am scared off. i think i'd be happy to do just what you did.

Yes, my friend just had the same procedure, inspired by my results. She is 3 weeks out, very, very pleased with results so far, and I keep telling her in 3 more weeks she will be truly amazed. She is already out and about in public. He's got a really good reputation here in Asheville.

thanks for the reply, it's great to hear about your friend, and about his reputation locally. i'll be travelling from london, believe it or not. i've been researching this off and on for years, and have had 3 consults in the metro DC area (where my daughter lives) but we LOVE your results and the others on his website. my daughter agrees that he's the one, and we'll stay in a hotel in asheville.

Hi there! Well 26th July is fast approaching, the date for my procedure w/Dr Harley. I leave London two days prior, to fly to Virginia where my daughter lives. She will travel w/me the next day to Asheville, we're staying in town for 3 nights. I am NERVOUS and can't believe I am doing this. But I have full confidence in Dr Harley, have read so many glowing, awesome reviews. It was your photos on this website that led me to him. You look amazing.
