Dr. Parfitt and his team are beyond superlatives. From my initial meeting through my consultation, procedures, and recovery, I felt heard and respected. When you’re in recovery (I chose the surgical center’s in-house option) it is priceless to be cared for by professionals who actually care about you. As far as my results are concerned, I am thrilled: I still look like myself - not tight or “duck-lipped”. When I traveled back to my hometown of NYC in October, not one person asked if I’d had work done…all I got without exception was “you look GREAT!” That’s the face you want - natural. YOU. But younger, the way you’ve seen yourself for decades - until now. My experience with Dr. Parfitt and every single person with whom I came in contact at the office and the surgical center was - well - there is no word superlative enough. Do I recommend him? Hell YES…worth every penny. *Photo is 6 weeks after surgery/Upper and Lower Blepharoplasty, Facelift. I'm 69 years old.
I can not say enough amazing things about Dr Parfitt’s practice. The entire experience from the consultation to the final PostOp was 10 stars. I had a lower face/neck lift along with a lip lift . The results have exceeded my expectations. I definitely feel like I’m 50, not 60.
Dr. Parfitt made my eyes beautiful! I can hardly get over it every time I look in the mirror. My eyes have always been rather oddly shaped with hooded on the inside corners and as I aged everything became even more hooded. My eyes looked old and baggy. Dr. Parfitt suggested upper and lower. I am SO glad that I did the lower also. WoW! What a difference in my eye shape. He is a genius surgeon with such artistic flair. My eyes look fabulous, better than they have ever looked in my whole life! I also had a face/neck lift at the same time. I did write a review about that under Facelift also. Dr. Parfitt has many years of experience, dedicated to the beauty and symmetry of the face. He is a youthful and vibrant man who uses all the latest techniques. He knows just what to do to make you beautiful. And he has the vast experience to make it happen. I highly recommend Dr. Parfitt! He is the best, most experienced surgeon. His staff all love him and that says a lot. His staff are all great and they really take care of you like you are family. I am more beautiful at 61 years of age than I have ever been. I am so grateful that I was able to do this. I made this investment in myself and I can now face life with renewed confidence. This is your face, have only the best most experienced surgeon touch it! It is worth it, You are worth it. And I want to add that I had tattooed eyeliner that had become uneven over the years. Dr. Parfitt was able to even it out with his artistic experienced hand. It's a big decision. I am so glad that I chose Dr. Parfitt. I am very pleased with results of my face/neck lift and upper/lower eyelid lift. I feel beautiful.
Dr. Parfitt is an experienced facial artist! I chose him because of his years of experience and I made the right choice. I have never felt or looked so beautiful. I was feeling old and wrinkly. I hated to look in the mirror at my saggy neck and jowls. He also did an eyelid lift, upper and lower at the same time. My results are amazing! He talked me out of a couple other procedures that I thought would make me look better. He can look at you and see what you need to make you beautiful. Let him guide you to what you need. He has the experience to make it happen for you. I had a bleeding complication because I was taking a supplement that had mega amounts of Vitamin E. But Dr. Parfitt knew exactly what to do and got me through it with flying colors! I was in the hands of the best facial surgeon! The whole staff cares for you as if you were their own family. They are a wonderful bunch of people and they all love Dr. Parfitt. You can tell that everyone there loves being part of this team of making people GOOD LOOKING. I am very impressed that Dr. Parfitt and his staff went over and above to help me with everything. This surgeon truly cares about his patients, his work, his staff, his practice. I highly recommend Dr. Parfitt! Even with all his years of experience, he is SO youthful and vibrant. He uses the latest techniques and equipment. You will not find a better surgeon. It is your face, you want the best! This is the best investment that I have made in myself. I am grateful that Dr. Parfitt has dedicated his whole life's work to the aesthetic beauty of the face. It shows in the results. Go for it!
I wanted a rhinoplasty from a very young age, but was always reluctant to take the leap. After my first consultation with Dr. Parfitt, which included photos and editing to demonstrate realistic results, I felt very reassured that I was in excellent hands. I felt well-prepared for the procedure and aftercare by the wonderful staff. Three years later, I could not be happier with my results, which appear remarkably natural, and enhance my natural facial features. Since rhinoplasty, I have also received preventative Botox for my forehead and crow's feet at AestheticA Skin Health Center (performed by one of Dr. Parfitt's amazing nurses) and am so pleased with the disappearance of my fine lines!
Dr Parfitt suggested doing my lower eyes, a procedure I had not considered. The wait time was around 6 months, but worth it! Everyone was very patient with my (numerous!) questions, and I did not feel my looks were being judged. The only negative thing was that one of the women in preparation was a bit dismissive about my concerns with covid protocol. The healing time I experienced was consistent with what I was told, and not especially uncomfortable.
I was a patient of Jodie in Dr. Parfitt's office. For the past 2 years i have been looking for someone who really understands my needs and able to help. Jodie is simply amazing. Her knowledge is top notch, her professionalism is some of the best I ever witnessed, her 'bedside manner' is comfortable, honest and safe. She was responsible for administrating botox and a filler to my 66 year old face. I really believe that not only is she medically wonderful but also an artist when it comes to making her magic happen. I am very pleased with my results.
Dr. Parfitt is kind, knowledgeable, professional, and has a great eye for facial harmony. I love my new nose and am constantly looking at myself in the mirror joyously. He and his staff respond to emails and questions promptly, and I always felt secure in my decision to choose him. I have loads more confidence now, and my nose looks so cute. Thank you, Dr. Parfitt. Updated on 18 Jul 2020: Some comparable side-by-side views. I am so pleased with Dr. Parfitt's ability to make a nose look beautiful from every imaginable angle. My right side, 3/4 view made me the unhappiest, and now it's my favorite angle. I've healed beautifully. Though these photos were taken at 9 weeks post-op, I was ecstatic with my nose after just a month or so. A lot of swelling went down, and with regular nose massages (with your thumb and index finger) and taping at night, I had nice tip definition and curve at the dorsum. Updated on 25 Oct 2020: Years ago, I made a silly video of myself eating turkey from a bowl - probably for my mom! Haha. That nose angle was my most hated. I recreated the video (no turkey) to show the major improvements to my nose.
I am a 38 year old woman consulting with Dr. Parfitt for a second (different) surgery with him after experiencing the amazing results of my first. About 3 years ago, when I was 35, I went to Dr.Parfitt to have my upper eyes fixed - he also did some liposuction under my chin. I have had many people say “you’re too young for plastic surgery” when I tell them of my decision, but for me, my surgery choice was very personal as heavy upper lids were a genetic trait amongst my family and something that had always bothered me. Dr. Parfitt was kind, professional, and most of all realistic in my expectations and what the outcome could produce. What I got out of my surgery with him was not only a phenomenal experience with his kind and extremely well-educated staff, but a beautiful and much needed “refreshed” look. I share my plastic surgery decision and my experience with Dr.Parfitt openly and freely to hopefully encourage other people to do something for themselves. I would (and am!) choose Dr. Parfitt and his practice again 100 times over. Thank you, thank you, thank you for your kind demeanor, your professional interaction, your amazing staff and my gorgeous results!
I had a facelift and lip lift done by Dr. Parfitt and I absolutely love him and his staff! My biggest concern going in was not looking natural. After looking at his portfolio, I was convinced this was the Doctor I would trust because no patient looked weird, they ALL just looked BETTER. I went through with both procedures (not at the same time), and have absolutely NO regrets! Because he does faces only, he SPECIALIZES in the procedures he performs. His talent and eye for detail is crucial, in my opinion, for a good and NATURAL result. His office is beautiful and his staff is very professional and kind. The procedures themselves went very smoothly, with anesthesia that was actually quite pleasant. His onsight recovery suite is so comforting and accommodating to both patient and guest and I would highly recommend it especially for facelift procedures. I have my botox done by Jodie and absolutely love her! I travel about 90 minutes to come here and I will never go anywhere else!
This could be tyndall effect. When filler is injected too close to the surface of the skin, an ashy blue color can be seen. If this is the case, an enzyme call hyaluronidase can be injected to break down the filler. Your other option is to stop the vitamin and see if the discoloration subsides.
Without seeing photos, it is difficult to evaluate the area. I would return to the injector and express your concerns. Voluma like other hyaluronic acid fillers can be broken down with hyaluronidase. This may be the best option rather than over filing the area.
It is possible that the prep used to clean the skin prior to the injections flared your rosacea. People with rosacea find they do best using mild products for cleaning and moisturizing their skin. When prepping the skin for injections, stronger more irritating cleaners are used.
Swelling from hyaluronic acids generally recedes after 3 days and the final result around two weeks. From there it will continue to break down over the next 8 to 12 months depending on the individual. It is possible that not enough filler, or not the right combination of fillers were used to give you optimum results. Using Radiesse and a hyaluronic acid like Juvderem Ultra Plus together can give the volume needed to smooth out the cleft. Because the cleft is caused by incomplete fusion of the lower jaw bone, the indentation lies deep and needs considerable volume to fill the cleft. Cleft chins are inherited, considered normal and in some cases, attractive.
For you Botox treatment in the glabellar area would not only be corrective, but also preventive. You continue with the treatments every 3 to 4 months, the lines will continue to improve as the skin has a chance to regenerate.
