I looked old and tired. I have mother's eyes, jowls, neck and wrinkles. I wanted to get me back.

My rating:

I always love to give kudos when appropriate and Dr. H is a surgeon deserving of the highest praise! My facelift was so easy and the recovery so quick. The results brought me to tears!!! Ive never looked back on the decision to have Dr H do my facelift!

Hi gracebydsign,

Thanks for the review, but before I add you to the facelift community page could you please provide a bit more information about your experience to fully aid our community? :)

1. Did you experience pain and downtime?
2. Would you do it again?
3. What do you wish you knew before hand?

Thanks so much,
--Sharon

I've been asked to be more detailed, so here it goes....
1) Of course I was in pain after the surgery. It's surgery!!!! I think the worst if it was over after about 5 days. I had strong drugs to help with it but didn't take them for too long. Maybe just a day and a half. I'm not a big pill taker to start with. It took about three weeks til I was mostljy back to normal( swelling, bruising, stitches) Dr Holden took great care if me. He even called me at home a few times to check up on me after the surgery.
2) this question is silly. Of course!
3) Beforehand, I would have liked to know that the results would be so immediate. I was well prepared for the event through my own research and Dr Holden and his staff. I guess I didn't think that I'd see such immediate effect, even with the swelling and bruises. I think that was the big surprise for me. Especially my neck!

Hi, Grace. I am considering a facelift with Dr. Holden in January. Would you mind sending me some before and after pictures through private email?

gracebydsign 22 Nov 2011

You'll have to send me your emaill address. Please keep them private. That's something I like about Dr. Holden, he protects his patients' privacy.

TAC 29 Nov 2011

I don't believe you are set up to receive private messages through this website, as I don't see the envelope icon that would allow me to message you. I don't want to post my email publicly...it includes my full name. Would you mind updating your status to allow for private messages?

gracebydsign 20 Nov 2011

I'd be glad to! I'll dig through and find my print outs and send them out.

How old are you?

You mentioned no scars. Am curious where the incisions were placed for the facelift. Are there incisions in front and behind the ears?

gracebydsign 2 Dec 2011

My incisions are hidden in my hair, and tucked in my ears. There's nothing to show that Ive had any surgery at all. Except the lift!
