Incredibly talented surgeon and wonderful supportive staff! I'm in my 40s and was already experiencing some sagging to my lower face, extra fullness in my neck, and have always wanted to address my very hooded eyes. We decided my best results would be obtained via a deep plane facelift and an upper bleph. These procedures require a high level of skill and at 3 weeks post-op, I am looking and feeling great. I am also back to almost all my daily activities. I researched, met with other surgeons, and chose him for more than his aesthetic result and bedside manner. I also much prefer the safety of his surgical approach using a hemostatic net vs other doctors that I met with that put in drains. I read studies about this and this not only produces a better outcome, but substantially reduces the risk of a hematoma (a major complication / risk of facelifts). Dr Markelov has the best bedside manner of any doctor I've experienced. He was empathetic to my concerns, detailed in his explanations, and confident in his answers to all my questions. Come surgery day, he and his staff were incredibly professional and supportive. Despite a lengthy surgery, I was able to do this under twilight anesthesia, never felt a thing, and woke up mentally sharp instead of groggy which really speaks to the talent of his partnered staff in the OR. Post-surgery, I emailed a question and Dr Markelov responded within 5 minutes despite it being a Sunday and not an emergency; he clearly stays on top of any patient concerns and at all steps you can tell that genuinely cares. The support before and after surgery has been been fantastic. Very importantly, I'm already delighted with my results despite some swelling that will continue to resolve over time. It is very scary to have someone work on your face and I'm deeply grateful for Dr Markelov's artistry. A big thank you to Dr Markelov and team!
I had a BR done with Dr Markelov and had the best experience. Amazing doctor who listens to your concerns and answers any questions with patience. Great follow up afterwards. Amazing doctor and staff!
So pleased with how my surgery went and the results with Dr. Markelov did for me!! So happy and would recommend going here for your surgery needs! Procedure was fast and I was well taken care of by the nurse staff and doctors!
Mr. Markelov and is staff, especially Tatiana, are absolutely amazing and miracle workers. They exceeded my expectations and went above and beyond to meet my expectations. They ensured I was comfortable with my decision to meet my needs and even stayed after hours to work with me until I felt comfortable. They are the most caring, thorough and professional providers I've ever met. If I ever need anything in the future I most definitely will go back to them as they are truly amazing people professionally and personally. Also just to know I am beyond pleased with my results and they've given me what I've never had before, which is confidence. They are the best of the best and I 100% happy with my decision to come here and like I said will definitely be coming back here. I couldn't recommend them more. I had a breast augmentation I was around a very small bee I would guess and now I am a small d which I was going for and again like I said I couldn't be happier with my results I am 40 years old and have wanted to do this for 20 years and I'm so glad that I finally did it as this is given me so much confidence in myself that I've never had before.
I have had an excellent experience! The staff were friendly and professional, and Dr. Markelov was very knowledgeable and experienced. The team took the time to personalize my care, and always available to address my concerns! Very happy with my results!
I highly recommend Dr. Markelov. He did an excellent job on breast reconstruction after my mastectomy. He also enhanced the the non-affected breast so it would match in shape and size. I am very happy with the results. Dr. Markelov was also very easy to talk to, answered any questions I had, and worked with my radiation treatment schedule to achieve the best results.
Absolutely wonderful. He was so knowledgeable and explained everything. He made me feel so comfortable. He made sure I was not in any pain. I am so happy I made the decision to see him. I would highly recommend him to all my friends and family. I absolutely love my results!!
I had a great experience with dr. Markelov! All staff was amazing and everything went great! I had liposuction done! No bruising what so ever with limited amount of pain! A week later and can already tell a huge difference! Definitely would recommend!
I'm so pleased with my breast reduction! Dr. Markelov and the staff are friendly and competent. I was nervous at first, but they made the whole process natural and put my mind at ease. Recommend 10 out of 10!
Dr. Markelov and his team is amazing! I am so pleased with my surgical process and results. I highly recommend Dr. Markelov. He is so caring and his attention to detail is impeccable. Wausau is very lucky to have him! I had a tummy tuck. I also had a surgically created belly button, that I am SO pleased with. It looks far better than my original!
Retinal artery occlusions have been reported with use of dermal fillers containing hyaluronic acid (similar to Restylane). This happens due to accidental injection of filler into the artery leading to an eyeball which causes temporary blockage. All brain infarctions and cases of blindness reported in the literature occurred with autologous fat injections since fat particles are much larger than hyaluronic acid. Although these cases are extremely rare, it's always a good idea to have your injections performed by an experienced plastic surgeon.
Thank you for your quesiton. You will achieve refreshed and rested look with filler in your cheeks and naso-labial folds. I would recommend using fillers with hyaluronic acid such as Juviderm or Restylane. Hyaluronic acid is absolutely natural and it helps to restore youthful volume in your face. See trained plastic surgeon in your area for a consultation.
Eyelid droopiness after Botox injection is relatively uncommon complication. Botox effect will typically last for 2-4 months. You can improve droopiness with prescription eyedrops containing Iopidine (Apraclonidine). It contracts smooth muscle in your eyelid and causes an eyelid to elevate.
