Hello Leslie and thank you for your accolades! The fat was taken from my mid stomach via a teeny tiny needle (no lipo) that required a bandaid and almost no healing. It was then purified in some sort of machine while he worked on my eyes. I had the fat injected in the cheeks and up the cheekbones, nose to mouth lines(less there) and a tiny amount under the eyes (to nturally fill). I really believe that mine took so well and "stuck" and did not dissolve is that Dr. G stressed how important it was that for the first 3 weeks I do very little movement of the face, even talking. I was in a little bubble at home and listened to his advice. The second three weeks (week 4 - 5 - 6) is still important, but you don't have to be THAT diligent. You can talk and chew and somewhat move your face. But he could not believe how well I listened to his instruction and he told me that most surgeons do not stress enough about the post op portion of healing once you go home. The fat is now a part of my face and I sleep on my face and do whatever I want!! He is quite something! Thanks so much!
Thank you so kindly! I actually feel wonderful. Six weeks before surgery, I started taking ARNICA which is a natural herb found in health food stores. I asked my surgeon and he said he has seen amazing results with it. I hadvery very little swelling that was virtually gone in weeks and the bruising was the least my Dr. said he had ever seen. A touch under one eye and yellowing on one side of my neck which also was gone in a matter of 2-3 wks. My Dr. said my surgery and healing was "textbook". If you are thinking of having surgery on your face, just make sure you choose the right doctor. Natural is key here! That is what you want your outcome to be!
Thanks so much Eileen! I feel 20 yrs younger. Dr. Ganchi plus the best skincare offerings that out there now have helped take me back in time! The comments I receive are just incredible. What fun!
My goodness! Thank you so much. I have had the most amazing comments from people, both who knew I had work done and people who were just puzzled as to what happened to me! Its such fun. Feel so young again! Thank you Dr. Ganchi!!
Annie! Thank you so much! And yes, that is my living room. I love color, drama and sass. Guess thats why I didn't want to look old "just yet". Dr. G has matched my "outside to my inside". Check my latest photo. Only 7 weeks. Its really astounding. Best, Linda
