I had a deep plane facelift, necklift, browlift, upper bleph and CO2 under my eyes and around my mouth on October 31, 2023. Although I am only 7 weeks out, I wanted to leave a review about my experience so far. I am 62 years old, eat healthy - am a vegetarian, exercise daily, and have always felt like I looked great for my age. But for the last few years the wrinkles, jowling, general sagging of eyelid, brow and malar area was really bothering me. I had been researching surgeons for about 5 years - there are a lot of great surgeons in the San Francisco bay area and so I met with 5 total. All of them had different approaches and different treatment plans (which was super confusing) but Dr. Ransom was the only surgeon who did NOT push extra procedures. His plan was straightforward, and made sense for what I wanted to achieve. I also liked that he is a neck and face surgeon ONLY, that he has authored numerous peer-reviewed publications, and that he trained and co-authored with Dr. Andrew Jocono in NYC - one of the best surgeons in the field and whose work is impeccable. One of my finalist surgeons was really pushing for a lip lift and when I asked Dr. Ransom about it as an option, he said "I can do it, but you won't look like YOU, and my job is to make you look like you - only younger and more refreshed". That sealed the deal for me :) I also have hereditary malar bags that have always bothered me. They are notoriously difficult to treat and so I was looking for a surgeon who would address them with confidence and Dr. Ransom assured me that with the deep plane technique plus the CO2, I would see fantastic results.
