My journey toward a decades-long wish to have my lower face reconfigured has taken a circuitous route in my life. However, I feel very fortunate to be Dr Guy’s loyal patient for almost two years now. Although I’m only a few weeks post-op from my triple procedure, I’m astounded at his incomparable results in sculpting a lovely face that I never thought was achievable. After consulting with many facial plastic surgeons in two states, I couldn’t have found a better doctor who walks the earth.
Dr Guy is very knowledgeable and articulate about all aspects of his surgery practice as well as non-surgical aesthetic procedures. What makes him unique among highly qualified doctors is that he is genuinely empathetic, sincere, and dedicated to each patient and their individual issues. He is “a real person” with humility who answers all your questions with pragmatism, patience, and a good sense of humor.
I actually stumbled upon Dr Guy when I was distraught over a medical issue unrelated to a facelift consultation. After sustaining a deep chemical peel burn from an esthetician unknown to Dr Guy, my research revealed that he is one of the few plastic surgeons in my metro area that have a sincere interest and skill in healing facial injuries. He was caring and vigilant during frequent follow-ups over several months. My tiny, barely noticeable scar could have been a lifelong disfigurement without Dr Guy’s skill.
Since that time, I have enjoyed the best results with Botox and fillers at his office. My basis for comparison is similar aesthetic work done by other providers over a 13-year period. Dr Guy’s office is immaculately clean and his staff is cordial.
Now on to The Main Event: my birthday gift was a lower facelift with jowl liposuction, necklift, and chin implant. Since I’ve had bad reactions to general anesthesia in prior surgeries, I opted for . . . (wait for it) surgery in his office with local anesthesia! This was a success by lowering my costs and recovery issues, as well as being a witness to my happy facial transformation by Dr Guy and his upbeat, competent team. Even my unemotional husband was so impressed by Dr Guy’s follow-up. He phoned daily to check my recovery progress, and was very prompt in responding to one concern during the winter holiday week. Staff sent us home with a Black Bag Kit containing ice packs and wound care supplies to facilitate healing.
Although I still have some normal bruising and swelling, I’m healing rapidly and my results so far are phenomenal. Since adolescence, I’ve faced the world with fatty jowls and a receding chin. These got more pronounced with age, lately compounded by a turkey neck. Dr Guy magically reshaped my droopy squarish face to a soft oval. My jawline is crisp, complemented by a gamine neck. God bless you, Dr Guy! You have exceeded all my expectations.
