Dr. Krau Made Me Look at Least 15 Years Younger! - Miami, FL

ORIGINAL POST

I originally had a consultation with Dr. Krau to...

morfme
WORTH IT$10,000

I originally had a consultation with Dr. Krau to change out my 16-yr old silicone breast implants done by another doctor, feeling that they were just perhaps getting too old. Since I was there (and feeling SO sure of him) I asked about the possibility of "fixing" a few issues I was beginning to notice on my face...namely, the droopiness around my eyes (always looking tired even though I wasn't), jowls beginning to form at my jawline and sagging of my neck. Dr. Krau listened attentively to my concerns and then suggested a mini-lift and brow-lift. I was quite clear to the doctor that I DID NOT want to look like I had that "done" look and he assured me that he would be very conservative, explaining the entire procedure and said my results would look like me, just very rested and refreshed, not pulled or unnatural. My husband thought I was nuts at first, but was very supportive of me. Dr. Krau performed both procedures on me and immediately following surgery my husband said he was worried because people would think he was with a 15-year old now!! LOL Dr. Krau's work was EXACTLY as he said....I looked and felt amazing and, 7 years later, I can still say that my face and neck look far better than most women 10-15 years younger than me. In retrospect, I suppose it was a bit extreme for most 42 year old women to be considering a lift, but I felt strongly about it and felt so extremely confident with Dr. Krau that I knew I'd be pleased and only regret not having done it then.

I looked at your before and after, you look great very very subtle change but 42 and getting a lift? I'm not sure if fillers wouldn't have been a good choice... either way you look great!

Looks great! I checked out your before and after. I like how you look very natural and rested. I would never have thought you had work done. How painful is it? I had a child 100% natural but this scares me!

It really wasn't bad at all...the pain. The worst part for me was my sensitivity to pain meds. I thought the pain would be severe at first so I took the prescribed Percocet, but it made me nauseous and throw up. THAT was the worst! The throwing up put pressure on my sutures, of course, and I figured I could try going without the pain meds. I found I really didn't need anything more than Tylenol for a couple of days. There was quite a bit of swelling, but to be honest, I was out to dinner with friends 10 days postop!! It was really about 3-6 months before I had total feeling back in my forehead (brow lift) and neck, but it was nothing that was miserable at all. I was more and more excited every day with the results. In fact, I'm scheduled with Dr. Krau this morning for breast augmentation surgery! I LOVE him and his work so much....HIGHLY recommend! Good Luck, Jen :)

You look great! What was your recovery time? general or local? short scar lift? Thanks! :)

Hi there! Thank you for the compliment…hard to believe that next week will be 9 years ago that I had the mini lift/brow lift done. Still completely happy with the results! I did have general anesthesia - couldn't imagine the doctor even consider doing under local. To be completely honest…the recovery was no too bad. I was experiencing nausea from the pain meds (which is usually how I react), so I opted to just take Extra Strength Tylenol for a few days post-op. I was actually out to dinner with friends 10 days after my surgery. I still had lots of swelling for about a month, but not to the point that I felt I couldn't go out. I experienced a numbness/tingling feeling throughout my forehead and neck area for up to 3-4 months. It was never something that was painful, just noticeable to me. Scarring was minimal and is not noticeable at all. Any other questions you have, please feel free to contact me here.
