5 stars isn't enough

What value can you put on getting your self confidence back! Dr. Godin took time to meticulously study my face to give me exactly the Botox and fillers I needed to take years off of my face and yet still look like me. He's a true perfectionist.

WOW - I look and feel years younger!!

I am in my upper 40's and for years I have been fighting the aging process. I have tried almost every cream, serum, and gadget that is out there. Believe me when I say nothing really works like it says. But then I meet Dr. Godin. Dr. Godin was wonderful. We discussed my wants and needs for now and procedures I might want down the road. Then we discussed together what procedures I wanted that day. I hate needles, but he talked me through the whole process and put me at ease.

Getting Older, but Wanting to Look As Young As I Feel! Richmond, VA

I had a face lift with Dr. Godin about five years ago and everything turned out the way i wanted except my neck lift didn't last as long as i would have liked. Dr. Godin explained that there were no guarantees with the neck, so i waited and returned to him about five years later. Again, the experience with Dr. Godin and his entire staff was nothing other than excellent. Everyone there is warm, caring and knowledgeable about your particular procedure. Everything went smoothly

Early 50s, Sagging of Lower Face - Richmond, VA

One year ago, I had Ultherapy instead of what I really needed - a mini lift. For me, Ultherapy was a waste of time and money which yielded zero results. I just had my lift (lower face and neck tuck and a little lipo under chip) four days ago so still swollen (more on one side than the other) and bruised but I expect to be very pleased with the results. No real pain, just can't lay down so sleep has been only in short naps. Hubby is taking good care of me but we are both plain

Second Lower Facelift, Neck Plication & Juvederm Tomorrow - Richmond, VA

The cost includes the anaesthesiologist, post-op nursing care and juvederm. The surgery itself is about $7800 of the total cost. Ten years ago I had a brow lift, neck plication, deep plane face lift and lower blepheroplasty performed by John Mannes of Marin County, California who did a sensational job for a cost of $12,000+/-. My recovery was very good but I had the usual numbness, tightness and greenish tinge. It has taken me three years to find the right surgeon.

Facelift - Richmond, VA

I was very disappointed I saw little to no changes after surgery. I had the Neck, Jowl and the Eyebrow Lift. The neck was ok but the eyes are still saggy and the saggy Jowl still no change. At a later date I will have to have these redone with someone else. Dr. Godin said he could redo the eyes for extra charge. I paid $17000.00 and did not see hardly any changes. Just please do your homework if you are thinking of having a facelift or other work done. A lot of money not to

Little to no results at 1 year

I underwent facelift, neck lift, upper blepharoplasty and brow lift. Little to no results at 1 year. Neck began sagging once the extreme swelling subsided. He does not use drains and my neck was extremely swollen and full of fluid for 2 months post op and I was left with a sagging neck. Upper eyes look like nothing was done. This was supposed to be a 6 hours surgery and I was in OR for 10 hours with no explanation. My partner was called 3x between 4:30pm and 7pm to delay

Trainee was doing my facelift & I ended up with wrinkles

Facelift. I awoke a bit being on twilight anesthesia, and a trainee was doing my facelift. Dr Godin had left the building. I was upset, and told them he said he would be doing the surgery, and they said he had a right to leave and do things he wanted to do…That upset me even more….so, they put me back to sleep. Unbelievable that he wasn’t even in the room for half of my facelift-actually, not even in the building. He overcharges if he thinks he can get away with it, so act savvy

Terribly disappointed

I had a facelift 7 months ago and have little to show for it except pretty prominent salivary glands. Dr Godin never mentioned this possibility and then didn't want to acknowledge them when I pointed them out. In fact he asked why I kept focusing on them, to which I replied "because they are very obvious and the first thing I see when I look at my neck!" Of course he said they were not that noticeable, to be patient and to come back in 5 months! I had negative vibes about

Jowly and neck sags under my chin - frustrating.

Avoid this Dr. at all costs. There are many better Drs. You can actually trust your face to. My face looks the same and in some places, worse than it did before. I am having to pay another dr, for a redo. He couldn't believe I had had a lift! Breaks my heart to come up with that money again. Jowly and neck sags under my chin, sags around my mouth-just excessively frustrating and heartbreaking to have to go thru the surgery and recovery again with a better Dr. Updated on 30 Nov
