About thirteen years ago I had my upper eyes done. Immediately after the surgery I went back to the surgeon and said "you did not take enough skin or fat out" to which he replied "you really need a brow lift." I was 42 years old, and at the time and the only way that a brow lift was done at that time was to slit the entire scalp. No way was I in for that! I had a consult with a highly regarded NY surgeon at the time (Dr. Baker,) who said that I should never get a brow lift because my brow is large, and would even get larger. He suggested a face lift, and that he would pull up at the temples and that would help my dropping brow. I really liked and respected this surgeon, but felt that at 42 I was not ready for a face lift. I decided to accept the way I looked and move on with my life....
This past winter 2013 I spent in sunny Florida, and all of my older girlfriends (early sixties) looked younger that me , and I am now 55. They had all had at least one face lift! That's it, I was ready!
I chatted with many people and saw different results, and decided that Dr. David Rosenberg was the man to use. I did not even bother with another consultation, as I was smitten with him from the start. He said he would do an endoscopic brow lift ( would not lose any forehead) full face lift with fillers, and fix my ear lobes that were pulled from wearing hanging earrings. After I got over "sticker shock" I booked my appointment for August 12, 2013.
Dr. Rosenberg was in the process of opening a new Surgical suite of his own, across from Manhattan Eye and Ear, but unfortunately it was not ready for my August 12th surgery. I did not think much of it, as I thought that the hospital was a "safe" place to have surgery. It turned out that I got a staph infection on my face which most likely resulted from a dirty OR. I am afraid if I attach those photos, someone reading this may "opt out." Let's just say that 10 days out of surgery, I was admitted to a hospital for five days of IV antibiotics. The sides of my face looked like Frankenstein, and the skin ended up necrotic (dead) My husband and girlfriends were besides themselves..... I was calm as could be, knowing that eventually it would all clear and I would be just fine....
I look amazing and the results are nothing short of fabulous...... I am still scarred from the infection on the sides of my face, but Dr. Rosenberg has been injecting them with cortisone, and I will then have some laser treatments for the redness, which he has agreed to take care of. Even with the terrible infection and hospital stay , I would do it all over again. I can't explain how having this work done has "empowered me." I work hard, train hard (weights and running) and felt that somehow my face did not match my body..... Now it does! I don't look pulled or have that "surprised look " I look "cleaned up "and refreshed~
I don't have great photos in my computer, but I will post as soon as I can get it together!!
As Nike says "just Do it."

You look great. But, hard to tell what your before really looked like because your head is down and in one you're frowning. Head down always makes your brows look lower. can you post another before photo? I"m mostly interested in the hooding on the outer eyes. Do you see a significant difference? And what was the infection from? The fillers? or Brow or FL? Thanks!
