Updated on 4 Dec 2017: I had been contemplating having my neck tightened for some time now. My local plastic surgeon only did this procedure in hospital. I checked Realself and found excellent reviews for Dr. Rotatori who did it in office using local anesthesia. I went for a consult and felt totally confident that I had made the best decision. I set up my appointment and had all my questions answered by his caring and skilled staff. One of my biggest concerns was that it was a 5 hour surgery. I worried that I would need the restroom. I really should have considered that the operation could not be stopped in order for me to go to the bathroom. I have never worn them, but if I ever do anything like this again, I will be wearing Depends. I had already taken nausea medicine when I arrived and was then given a cocktail to relax me. Everything went very well though I did have some discomfort where the anesthesia hadn't totally numbed me. I was given another pill and possibly fell asleep because the next thing I remember, it was over. I felt very sleepy and spent most of the day napping, icing, and taking pain meds. Not near as bad as I expected. Everything looks great already but I have a small issue with skin causing a crease where the lift stopped on either side of temples. Hopefully he can address it when I go in to get my stitches out I am very pleased so far. Dr. Rotatori deserves his excellent reputation.Updated on 4 Dec 2017: Very good stitch work. This picture shows the area of concern when the lower face lift ended. It seems the skin above it is hanging over on both sides pulling my eyes downwards. I'm hoping it's just swelling that will resolve on it's own but I will feel better having Dr. Rotatori address it when I go get my stitches out in 3 days.Updated on 8 Dec 2017: Went back to the office two days ago and Rachel, his wonderful medical assistant, removed some of the stitches. Today she removed the rest. Feels so good. She basically told me I could walk for exercise now and to keep Eucerin on the incision areas. She also told me to massage areas under my eyes that were retaining fluid. She said everything was looking very good and for me to come back and see Dr. Rotatori early next year. I'm so excited to see the improvement from when I first came into his office!
