I'm grateful for the life-changing help Dr.Paul provided me. I've struggled with my self-confidence for the last 13 years, due to thyroid issues, stress, and anxiety. Which lead me to a long-term struggle with my body image. Even with a restrictive diet and exercise, I was unable to feel happy and confident in my own skin. Dr. Paul is very knowledgeable, kind, and attentive to all my questions, throughout the process of scheduling, pre-procedure, and post-surgical care. Dr. Paul”s entire staff was always incredibly professional, kind, helpful, and always willing to answer any questions I had. I was so well cared for through my recovery and post-op process. Even when I had a late-night concern, it was quickly resolved with an immediate return phone call from Dr. Paul regardless of the late hour. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Paul to anyone seeking a life image change that will boost your self-confidence and a new outlook on life
I’ll start with the one word - WOW! Dr Paul has golden hands ! Everything, any procedure he preform is beyond amazing, I had 2 breast lift that didn’t turn well with a different doctor , so I was very scared . when I got to dr Paul office I met him and he is very kind and knowledgeable, answered all my questions and took care of me all the way . I am grateful that he is my surgeon , he saved me I had pain in my chest and very thick scars cause my implants were high, and even had sutures in my nipple from the previous surgery that wasn’t removed and he found it and fixed my pain in the nipple. dr Paul fixed all my scars with a his unique tools and now my breast are flawless !!! I wish I had him from the start!!! So smart and kind!! What an amazing work. God bless you
Dr. Paul has been my 'go-to' surgeon since 1995 because the results are always what I want and expect. Breast augmentation--nobody does it better. Mid-face--I'm the youngest person in the room at my class reunions. Last month I knew I couldn't wait any longer for a neck lift so I checked to see if Dr. Paul was going to be in the country (teaches/operates abroad) and fit into my schedule. Perfect timing and perfect surgery AGAIN. He explained that my results would be better if he also tightened my lower face/jawline and I agreed. The mid-face that Dr. Paul did in '95 certainly held to 2020! Not only did he perform the most up-to-date technique neck lift, but also basil cell surgery that needed his expertise. Also, as all the other reviews shout--Dr. Paul's care before/during/after surgery IS THE BEST!
I can't give enough praise to Dr. Paul for his expertise, dedication, and talents. He is the King of Surgeons and performs his work with precision and heart. I was referred to Dr. Paul over a decade ago in a desperate search to find help for an incurable and debilitating medical condition resulting in disfigured limbs. Dr. Paul recognized what seemed like an impossible challenge. However, with the combination of his years of medical training & experience, seeking the opinion of numerous other medical professionals outside the US, and doing research beyond his usual medical practice, Dr. Paul created a surgical procedure that mitigated my condition and gave me a pain-free life. I do not write this lightly. Before Dr. Paul, I had interviewed 26 other surgeons and could not find one doctor in the whole country who was confident or brave enough to tackle the disfigurement. However, Dr. Paul stepped up, without hesitation, and gave me a better body than I had possessed in 30 years. As for the recent neck surgery, in less than a week, I was interacting closely with friends and clients, with no one the wiser. He's that good! The total 5 days I took off to recover was close to having a vacation and "me" time. I took pain meds the 1st day, but I don't remember having pain. Motrin the next day and nothing needed after that. It's been 2 weeks and I am back to everything I was doing before the procedure, except my workouts. Neck is completely smooth with no noticeable swelling and incisions are almost invisible. I am so happy that I was able to locate Dr. Paul again. This is a kindergarten procedure for him compared to the highly complex procedures he is qualified to perform. His talent is more than learned, he is truly gifted and an answer to my prayers. Dr. Paul rates a 10+ in my book. He has my total respect & honor. As a post note: I included the nurses and other related costs in the total.
Dr. Paul is the most Talented doctor I have ever met. I have traveled all over the World to find the doctor who could fix my Breast issues after having a double mastectomy in 2013.I feel so grateful to have found a doctor who has finally been able to restore my breasts to a natural, beautiful shape and size. I had a double mastectomy in 2013 and it was very complicated to get my breasts to look and feel the way they did before the cancer. Also,I wanted to get a tummy tuck , because after all I have gone through with my breast cancer and at my age of 60, years, my waistline was in need of some help and he was able to give me the tummy and waistline I had in my 30s, I am not kidding...I feel so grateful to Dr. Paul for the wonderful work he has done for me and his wonderful bedside manner. Thank you Dr. Paul! PS. He is in high demand all over the world, so book in advance while he’s in his Newport Beach office.
Dr. Paul has made me look 15 years younger. He truely knows how to make you look like the best you possible. Dr Paul did my lower face and neck And does fat grafting on me every six months to a year . Dr Paul took 15 years off my face he definitely knows and has an eye to make somebody look like they’re in their late 20s early 30s. I am extremely picky and I would never let any other doctor touch my face he’s unbelievably talented. One of the best things about Dr. Malcolm Paul‘s work is you look so much younger but it does not look like you’ve done anything it looks so natural no one could tell you did anything except look young . Thank you love Michele
I'm 60 a year old man who had a very good experience with Dr. Paul. I'm very happy with the fantastic job he did on my facelift and my blepharoplasty. The surgery removed many years of aging, and wear and tear from my face and neck. I now look much younger and more youthful, but still very natural. And, I feel much better about myself, and am no longer sad when I look in the mirror. Dr. Paul is a great plastic surgeon and a great doctor. He is kind, and down to earth, takes time to answer questions and makes himself available for post-surgery questions and doctors visits. He has many years of experience and his experience includes training other plastic surgeons. I recommend him without reservation whatsoever and plan on returning to him for my future plastic surgery needs.
I had a Lifestyle Lift or a lower face lift 16 months ago and I am very happy with the company, the staff and the doctors. I think the procedure is minimally invasive considering how much skin was removed and my recovery was much quicker than I expected. I was sedated with oral medication instead of anesthesia for which I am very grateful and I still don't remember any of the first 24 hours. I had a medical complication that was not the fault of any one there and it was handled very efficiently. If you want a facelift, I think this is a good procedure for most people. You will be happy.
From the first consultation to my latest follow-up, i have encountered friendly, outgoing and helpful staff. There is not one single staff member who i can say anything negative about. Any questions i had throughout the entire process were thoroughly answered. The entire process from start to finish went extremely well.
I am a recovery alcoholic who got sober when I was 29. I was 16 when I started drinking heavily and frequently, for a myriad of reasons. While sobriety has changed my life, I discovered as time went by that I had lost more than a decade to fragmented memories and alcoholic black-outs. In my 30's and early 40's I dealt with the fact that when I looked in the mirror I saw a man who looked older than the age I felt I was on the inside. However, as the years crept by I was at the point of really disliking the man I saw in my reflection. He looked tired, overworked, and obviously had skin damage due to many youthful years of sun-bathing. I looked up procedures online and saw the "Lifestyle Lift" in my search engine and recalled the info-mercials I had seen on television. I called, went in for a consultation, and then did other research with Plastic Surgeons recommended to me by my dermatologist. At the time, I wanted to try to something less invasive and so settled on Botox treatment for my forehead and around my eyes. While I genuinely enjoyed the results, I still had what I thought of as jowls, wattle neck, and loose skin from my cheekbones down to my collar bones. Once again I hit my search engine and began reading the reviews of those who had followed through and gotten the "Lifestyle Lift". I was ready. I was also blessed to get a consultation with Dr. Malcom Paul, out of Beverly Hills, who had over 40 years of private practice under his surgical belt. He was attentive, understood what I was looking to correct, and explained what he would be doing in detail and what I could expect with the results. By the time my surgery rolled around I was more than ready, and actually quite eager to have Dr. Paul work his surgical magic. I had the general "Lifestyle Lift" as well as a practical eye-lift suggested by Dr. Paul. One month later, I can honestly say it was the best thing I've done for myself since getting sober almost 20 years ago. Dr. Paul managed to turn back the clock nearly 15 years and I see the man I feel I am, and look the age I feel when I look in the mirror. Those lost years in my alcoholism are now truly lost and not showing on my face and neck. If you are thinking of having a procedure done then I cannot recommend "Lifestyle Lift" and Dr. Malcom Paul enough. My research convinced me it is the most cost effective procedure and Dr. Paul is a maestro and magician. No more jowls, no more turkey neck, no more droopy eyes, no more tired and listless images reflected in my mirror. I am truly a new man and love the man I see in the mirror! Updated on 9 Feb 2014: How wonderful it is to hear these questions. What's different about you? Did you get a different haircut? Have you lost weight? You look so happy. You look great! 2 months after my surgery and the results keep getting better. As the last of the surgical swelling disappeared the questions and comments have gotten more numerous. As I took time off from work and school to have the procedure done and allow me some healing time, my friends, co-workers, school chums, and family continue trying to pinpoint why I look so refreshed and cheerful. I'm so glad that I had the Lifestyle lift done. As to the source of the questions and comments, I can safely say that it has occurred to no one that I had plastic surgery. Not that I would particularly care, but I am more than happy to shrug and smile in answer. It contrast, I've noticed that I do look younger than my friends and family members who are near my own biological age. Time has marched across most of our faces, and left tracks behind, but I am no longer the dirt road with the most ruts. I'm the new Interstate blacktop! My sincerest thanks to Dr. Paul and everyone at Lifestyle life for forever changing my life. I am a happy man.
There will be some improvement with time and the deep wrinkles will soften. However, you may need additional treatment including Botox and injections of fillers to improve the wrinkles.
There may be further improvement over the next several weeks, but a revision may be needed along the jawline no sooner than 6 -12 months post-op. Firm areas should be massaged gently and usually will improve with time or with very low dose injections of cortisone to hasten the resolution. . You should be seen soon by a Plastic Surgeon to evaluate the lumps, tightness, etc.
Lymphatic massage can be very helpful in reducing edema. It is optional, but can be very helpful
The bulging above may represent fluid accumulation or muscle weakness. Have your Plastic Surgeon examine you to determine what is causing the swelling. An ultrasound examination will provide the answer.
It is very early, but there is a lot of soft tissue above the incision line. Give it a few weeks and have your Plastic Surgeon evaluate the result at 6 weeks post-op.
