Decided to freshen up my aging "child of the 60's" face. I opted for a facelift, eyelift, some filling between nose and lips and dermabrasion around my lips.

I was concerned I might come out of the procedures looking like Joan Rivers but decided to take a chance. It was worth it. Everyone says I look great but not "done". Whew....

Great review?

Dr. is well named. He is Chair of Facial Plastic Surgery at Stanford. But he is more than technically competent. He refuses (I know, I argued with him) to do any procedures that will result in an undesirable outcome. In my case, I would not have been able to close my eyes at night if he had removed too much skin above my eyes. He is very approachable and accessible. He answers phone calls and emails. He explains each step and/or recommendation so the patient doesn't have unrealistic expectations or disappointing outcomes.
