I had my lower face and neck done by {edited - doctor information appears at top of review}. He and the assistance, {edited}, were great as far as making me feel comfortable, and I really didn't feel a thing during the surgery. It definitely is longer than 1 hour (ask my husband who had to wait for me). Also, when I returned to work 4 days later, it was very noticeable that I had had something done, due to the swelling. I would take at least 2 weeks off to recover.
Now it hasn't been 2 months and I have noticed that my neck is getting loose again with skin, since the swelling has gone down. The sides of my face are still numb, though I was told to expect this for at least 3 months.
I don't know right now if I would do this again. My neck was the reason I did this in the first place (my grandson asked me what the hanging skin was). I am not wealthy, and had to finance this, so is it worth the money??? Only time will tell. But I am not encouraged by what I have now read through this site. It appears that I wasted my hard earned money, though I couldn't afford the $10,000 plus on a face lift done by a plastic surgeon. I wish there was some program out there that would help real people look better and in turn would make you feel better about yourself when you look into the mirrow. You can call me vain, but I hate looking winkled and old.
