“Still Hurting”
Not Worth It
Spent: $4,100 in near Maryland
I was expecting that the anesthesia would be 4-6 shots not the 30 or so it actually was. I also did't plan to be out of commission for a full week, but at day 4 I am still in alot of pain. I would never undergo this procedure without at least having "twighlight sleep". It was too gruesome.

I quit counting after 20 shots.
my heart beat was racing and irregular... they told me that was 'normal'.............
I got 1 dinky pill for 'sedation'.... did NOTHING!
A friend of mine just had the "works" done on Monday, 2/28/ll here in Denver. I was considering just the jowls;neck procedure done, but after reading these posts and seeing firsthand my friend second-day post-op--with a lump near one of her eyes. The surgeon, instead of wanting to see her asap said to E-mail him a picture of the eye to determine if it was even necessary to see him.
She has to return to work tomorrow, even though she doesn't feel all that good--she needs the money.
I think I may just age as gracefully as I can in this youth-obsessed culture--or else, find a surgeon certified in facial plastic surgery as well as otolaryngology. Know of any in Denver.
No matter what you do, please take the time to get a 2nd opinion and be sure to read each and every line on the contracts that you sign. Best, Chrystal
