On October 29, 2018 I had a "lower face lift" (nothing above the eyes) performed by Dr. David Hecht. He was recommended to me by my dermatologist, Dr. Brenda Latowsky. During our initial consultation, where I told him what I hoped to achieve, he explained what he felt might be most beneficial to me. Following the principle that "less is more", Dr. Hecht emphasized a very "natural looking" procedure that would help minimize the effects of over 50 years of extensive sun exposure from my various athletic activities. Dr. Hecht was very forthright in explaining what type of results he felt he could provide and answered my questions thoroughly and completely. His staff, (Angela, Christie, and Veronica) were very helpful and professional in explaining and helping me through the various pre-surgical questions and concerns I had.
The surgery was done on October 29 and everything followed the expectations I was given by Dr. Hecht. Pain was very, very minimal (more just some discomfort) and the healing process took less time than anticipated. Follow up and after care were timely and helpful, and in less than a month I was back doing all my regular activities. I had out of state friends visiting after the holidays and no one remarked on any "changes" which is a good thing. However, when ever I look in a mirror I feel my "actual image" more closely reflects the "mental image" I had of myself which is a good thing! :-) Between Dr. Hecht's surgical work and Angela's IPL treatments, I am extremely pleased with the results. I would heartily recommend anyone contemplating a cosmetic procedure to visit with Dr. Hecht. The results speak for themself and I couldn't be happier.
