First time I met Dr. Shack was 16 years ago almost to the day. I was being rolled out of my room in the wee hours of the morning at Children's Vanderbilt Hospital. I had been in a car accident that had broken every bone in my face, crushed my eye socket, crushed my sinus cavity, broke my upper jaw and the list goes on. I was being wheeled to surgery to fix all of what I just listed that was going to be perforemed by Dr. Shack. My family and I had heard great things about him.

I had a full face and neck fraxel laser on done by Dr. Shack at Vanderbilt....you have to have eye shield put in your eyes that is the worse part but necessary.....I had no sedation of anykind....but it was done free of charge ...he was showing the interns how to do this procedure...it did not take but 30 min or less....my face felt like it was getting burned and cut at the same time ...afterwards my face felt hot and was of course bleeding it had little squares all over it ...we

I have thin lips but not extremely thin. From 2003 to 2011 I had at first Restylane and later I switched to Perlane since it's thicker and lasts a little longer. I like it and my lips looked great but it absorbs into my body quickly.

The first time I was professionally fit for a bra at age 12 I was a 32 DD,, at age 50, 34 k! I had all the usual issues shoulder indents and pain, etc. I am a little concerned after reading everyone else's reviews,, I woke up in immense pain. I have had at least 8 other surgeries in the past and that has never happened to me before. I have lots of swelling, which seems to be "normal" according to reviews, but my breasts appear to be reddened almost like cellulitis, my Dr. assured

About 10 years ago I was 220 pounds. I then lost to 180 pounds then regained with pregnancy to 220 then lost again then gained again. At the end- I had reached 220 pounds three times. I had one vaginal birth and one c-section. I am now 5'7 and 140 pounds and 31 years old and have maintained this weight for 5 years. I am very active with weight training and cardio and I eat pretty well. I have wanted this surgery for almost 3 years! About 3 years ago I went for my first two

I had CO2 laser just around my eyes about 7 years ago.  I love the results as far as the fine lines (completely gone to this day).  It did not change pore size at all (some pores were zapped with the CO2 near my eyes). I would recommend this only for fine lines.  My skin was still very firm so I cannot say whether it helps with skin tightening. The healing process was the worst.  The lasered area stayed blistering red on me for three months after
