I’ve had a great experience with Dr Zoumaras and his team. I suffered a dog bite to my lip that left me very self conscious and Dr Zoumaras has definitely fixed it up. My lip is looking a lot better and I have much more confidence. Amazing surgeon and amazing service!
Dr Zoumaras is simply the best. I am so glad that I chose Dr Zoumaras to be my surgeon. My whole experience from first consult for face and neck lift to the day of surgery was a breeze. I read Dr Zoumaras's book prior to surgery, wow he certainly is amazing and trained with the best. I knew I had made the right decision. Also, Dr Zoumaras's team are excellent from the ladies at reception to his wonderful nurse Ash. I am now 7 weeks since surgery and have had no pain, scars are healing really well and very happy with my results. I would highly recommend anyone thinking of having facial/neck surgery to consult with Dr Zoumaras. Thank you, Dr Zoumaras.
I sought Dr. Zoumaras' help and expertise for my breathing issues, and I'm incredibly glad I did! Thirteen years ago, I had a rhino/septoplasty, but not long after, I broke my nose. Since then, I decided to live with my broken nose as other surgeons told me there wasn't much that could be done. Dr. Zoumaras was up to the task - not only is my breathing improved, but I actually love the look of my nose now. It still looks like me, but improved. Dr. Zoumaras also works with the most caring professionals. Carmen and Cassandra were extremely helpful in addressing all my questions and concerns. Ash, the nurse, was very kind and caring, answering numerous questions. Dr. Tim Suharto, the anaesthetist, was always available to answer any questions and ensured I was comfortable during and after the procedure. They are a power team and I'm so incredibly happy that I made the decision!
It was an overall great experience. Dr Zoumaras helped me through my journey and made me feel confident about my procedural decisions. Any question I had, he provided a detailed answer and provided a variety of solutions.
I was really concerned about the removal of a BCC from the tip of my nose! But with the professional, kind and genuine support I received from Carmen and Dr Jack Zoumaras, my procedure went so well! Thank you!
I am 5 weeks post rhinoplasty surgery with Dr Jack Zoumaras and I am amazed at the results already. I have wanted surgery since I was a teenager and was quite self conscious about my nose. After lots of research and having a consultation with Dr Zoumaras, I immediately knew that he was the man for the job. He was welcoming, kind and honest about the procedure. The recovery itself for me was a breeze, with no pain at all. The follow up phone calls from both Dr Zoumaras, nurse Ashlee and the hospital made the process all that little bit easier. His reception team, Carmen and Cassandra go above and beyond in the lead up to surgery and post op. I cannot recommend Artiste Plastic Surgery enough. Dr Zoumaras’s professionalism and knowledge in the industry is second to none.
I wrote the message below to Dr Zoumaras the day my cast came off. I couldn’t recommend him more and I’m so grateful for what he’s done for me. Dr Jack, I simply don’t have the words to thank you enough - nothing I could ever say feels adequate but I’m going to try anyway.When Ash took my cast off and handed me the mirror, I sobbed the happiest tears I’ve ever cried. I genuinely couldn’t love my nose (or my entire face?!!) any more than I do right now and can’t fathom the fact that I’m only going to love it more as time goes on. I never thought there’d be a day I’d look in the mirror and love the reflection looking back at me but somehow, you made it happen. Thank you for every phone call and email answered, for being so kind and caring at every instance, for easing my pre andpost op anxiety but mostly for exceeding my most wildest expectations. When I say you’ve changed my life, I mean it with my whole heart. Eternally grateful for you and everything you’ve done for me. Thank you thank you thank you!
My experience was absolutely amazing from beginning to end. I’ve had a rhinoplasty done back in January. Not only the results are absolutely amazing and beyond what I could have imagined. But the level of care and passion Dr Zoumaras and his team have displayed over the months before, during and after surgery has made the whole experience a breeze. I cannot but recommend his services. This is the whole package and example of what going above and beyond meant. Thank you for everything.
I recently underwent a life-changing experience with Dr. Zoumaras, and I must say, it couldn't have been any better. From the very beginning, Dr. Zoumaras and his team went above and beyond to make me feel supported and at ease throughout the entire journey. The level of care and consideration they provided was truly exceptional, and I immediately knew I had made the right decision in choosing them for my rhinoplasty and temporal brow lift. This was an investment that would shape my life forever, and I wanted nothing but the best for myself. Well, let me tell you, Dr. Zoumaras is nothing short of a genius in his field. He is not just a skilled medical expert; he is an artist with an incredible eye for detail. He took the time to carefully listen to my desires and concerns, and then worked his magic to deliver the results of my dreams. Even though the healing process is still ongoing, I am already over the moon with the outcome. Throughout the entire journey, from pre-surgery to post-surgery, Dr. Zoumaras and his team were an unwavering source of support. During moments of pain, doubt, and uncertainty, they knew precisely how to comfort and reassure me. Their kindness and expertise made the entire process much more manageable. If you are considering any cosmetic procedure, do look at Dr. Zoumaras' reviews and before-and-after pictures. The results truly speak for themselves. If you value quality and desire a natural-looking result (or even something bolder), Dr. Jack Zoumaras is your go-to person. My experience with Dr. Zoumaras and his team has been life-changing, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the results. Thanks to their exceptional care and talent, I now feel more confident and proud of my appearance than ever before. Dr. Zoumaras is not just a surgeon; he is an artist who has forever left his mark on my life. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking the best in the field. Thank you so much!
Dr. JZ is so much more than a plastic surgeon, he's a true master of his craft and an exceptional human. Throughout the entire process, I was impressed by his level of care and attention. He listened closely to what I wanted and answered all my many questions to the exact level of scientific detail I needed to feel confident about the procedure. During my recovery, Dr. JZ was always there for me, radiating positivity and rocking his stylish suits! His availability and support were invaluable. I couldn't be happier with the result! Dr JZ delivered on what I was hoping for and more. My confidence has soared, and I owe it all to his amazing skills and genuine care. My journey with him and his incredible team has left me with no regrets, just profound gratitude for the new lease on life they've given me.
Thanks for your question. It is not unusual to have swelling 2 years after surgery because the lymphatics have been disturbed and take time to adjust. A neck lift compeltely detaches the skin from the muscle layer and the muscle layer is then lifted so the physiological burden is significant. I often leave drains in for a up to a week. I have had pateints still have swelling after 12 months. The best therapy is lympphatic drainage massage for 4-6 weeks and this shouold resolve most of your symoptoms.
Great option. There are some non surgical management options such as cheek bone filler and threads. But as a facelift expert I would the cause of the heaviness is anatomical variant of your pre jowl and jowl area. This has resulted in a slight heaviness in the massetric space (Jowl) which is essentially a weak ligament and drooping of tissue. The best way to resolve this is release the ligament and lift the space with a Facelife. I have operated on many patients under the age of 40 and the Facelift is to correct what you are seeing with teh jowl and is nit necessarily anti ageing. Thee advantages of doing a Facelift when younger is your recovery is quicker and no one will know why you look so good.
It all comes down to vector and what you are trying to do. In essence a Facelift will lift the lower jawline, cheek and in particular jowl area (just lateral to the lips which inckudes the marionette lines). The only way to lift the anagtomy in thhis area is to approach it from above and the side and subsequently lift it. The physics of this vector means you must place an incision in front of the ear.An incision behind the ear only allows access to the lateral neck and lower jawline and none of the jowl. But there is no need to worry about scarring as a goof Facelift surgeon will conceal the incisions in the ear and you will not see anything.
I would do all at the same time by the appropriate surgeon.Performing a High SMAS Facelift or Deep Plane facelift will address the naso labial folds and cheek and lower eyelid and jowls. You can add a lip lift at the same time for the best result.Performing total facial rejuvenation together works really well.
Your concerns are valid. First I would say discuss with your surgeon as he/she will know what they have done and I am sure would be happy to consider a revision or re do neck lift. Having a look at the before photos could help.In saying that, the area of your concerns appear to be the submental area under the chin. The neck lift works on a number of areas-skin, fat, muscle-deep (digastric) and superficial (plastyma) as well as the submandibular glands. If all these areas were not worked on then there is room for improvement.
