SpaMedica Plastic Surgery

Hello, I got my breast augmentation on December 12th 2022 so it's been 4 days post op. They are really tight and they look small so im trying to be positive and remind myself that it's still really early to be judging how they look. Updated on 20 Dec 2022: Its only been 8 days and they’ve changed so much, I’m so happy with how their looking. I got the incision tape taken off yesterday and I’m so impressed with how good the scars look! Updated on 1 Jan 2023: Happy new year! So I’m not sure how I feel about the size anymore. I think they’re too small and I’ve been really upset about it. But when I look at my bare chest I love them but then when I put a bracelet on or tank top they look so small. I know I still need to be patient and wait for them to drop but it’s hard. Updated on 2 Jan 2023: I think the reason I wish they were bigger is because I follow girls on ig that have big boobs and I thought that was what I was going to look like but if I had they wouldn't be proportionate to my body so I keep reminding myself that and I'm going to delete ig for awhile because I keep comparing myself to other women.

I wouldn't say that I had the 'best' experience at SpaMedica. I had a surgery called a skin pull from many scars I had on my tummy from my hysterectomy a year prior. I had some difficulties after. Without getting into detail my experience was made so much better thanks to an angel that works at SpaMedica. Her name is Shelby McLaren! I CANNOT have enough AMAZING things I want to say about her. She was kind, friendly, funny, beautiful inside and out. She was professional but in a way that made you feel comfortable in the most caring way. And when I mean CARED she truly did. She always went over and beyond to help me and always did it with a smile. The journey may not have been the best for me but SHELBY was the BEST part of Dr Mulholland's team. I will ALWAYS be grateful to her. Nothing but love to this beautiful soul! Thank you Shelby for all you did for me. Spa Medica is lucky to have YOU!!!!

I received a virtual FUE consultation from Star at SpaMedica. Star was patient, knowledgeable, kind, and honest, which was hugely appreciated. I greatly benefitted from our discussion which caused me to postpone my second procedure for now and give the finasteride (that I had just begun taking) a chance to work. Most importantly, I did not feel as though Star was just trying to sell me on a procedure that may not be the best fit for me at this point. I would highly recommend anyone considering a transplant to consult with Star and her wealth of expertise. Thanks, Star!!

Excellent service. The staff was very professional and helped me to make the right decision for my procedure. I am very happy with my results. I went to several offices to find the right surgeon who would give me the results I wanted and for it to be natural. Dr Mulholland was very professional and helped me so much. I love my new nose.

I fell in love with Spamedica upon entering for the first time with my mom. It was my first consult and my last. They had a way of putting you at ease and really making you feel at home. Come the day of my surgery all I can say was my nurses felt like "little moms", one nurse reassured me she wanted to take care of me the same way she would her daughter. She covered in blankets, brought me water and really made me feel less anxious. The one nurse did manage to stab me a few times (still missing the veins LOL) and it had to be readjusted twice before my surgery. However even the after process was surreal. One of the nurses literally came with me to the bathroom to help me go LOL. I could not have asked for anything more, they waited with me, held my hand, and really made me feel comforted. Although they experience this every day, they truly made my one experience a memorable one - all good memories, minus the needle.

SpaMedica for me, was such a great experience. The staff was so friendly and welcoming. I went in for EMsculpt on my abs. The treatment was so easy and it didn't hurt at all. I did 80,000 sit ups within two weeks and didn't break a sweat. I feel so much stronger and I am such more toned. I am very happy with my results!

A few months ago I had the incredible opportunity to be a demo patient for Dr. Mulholland on one of his Innovation Tours. Dr. Mulholland travels internationally to teach other plastic surgeons how to perform certain techniques/procedures, etc. Dr. Mulholland is one of the most highly reputable plastic surgeons in Canada which is why I did not hesitate to jump on this amazing opportunity. The treatments included Botox, Juvederm, Belkyra, Pico Laser and SmartLipo to the submentum. I am 44 years old and have never had any work done. I felt I looked pretty good for my age and did not feel like I needed to do anything to alter my appearance but I have to admit that I was intrigued to see Dr. Mulholland’s work first-hand. Spending a weekend with Dr. Mulholland and his team from SpaMedica and listening to him speak at the workshop I was completely blown away. This man is beyond knowledgeable. I was immediately put at ease and my anxiety subsided. I was apprehensive of how I would look afterwards though. I did not want to look like a different person and I surely did not want it to be obvious that I had anything done but I put my faith and trust in Dr. Mulholland and I am elated that I did. I am overjoyed with the results. Firstly, I do not look like a different person. I look like a much better version of myself. I have had a countless number of people tell me that I look ten years younger, that I glow and that I look fantastic but they cannot pinpoint what is different and this is the ultimate goal for any woman, to look completely natural without being completely natural. Aging is a fact of life, looking your age is not. I was thrilled to see that my double chin was gone, my jaw had structure and I had cheekbones. This is incredible and Dr. Mulholland is definitely a master of his craft. He is a perfectionist and that is quite evident in his work. You don’t have to take my word for it and see for yourself, just take a look at the before and after photos on his Instagram account (@spamedica_toronto) and you will appreciate and respect the caliber of Dr. Mulholland’s work. Having worked with Dr. Mulholland at the workshop and afterwards, I can tell you that Dr. Mulholland will go above and beyond to ensure that you are happy with your results, even if that means additional complimentary treatments. That in itself speaks volumes about Dr. Mulholland and his team.

I recently decided that I wanted to do liposuction. At the age of 12 I was diagnosed with scoliosis and had to wear a back brace for two years, 23.5 hours a day. Unbeknownst to me, the back brace literally molded my body and left me unproportioned. I was extremely insecure about my tummy and flanks. I would only wear loose tops and had only been to the beach 3 times in my teenage life. I began to do my research and I came across Dr. Mulholland and SpaMedica. Dr. Mulholland is highly reputable and has a lot of experience in this field. I read through a multitude of reviews and the good more than outweighed the bad by far. As I was making my appointment for a consult something caught my eye “non-surgical liposuction.” WHAT?! Non-surgical liposuction?!? So I did further research. With non-surgical lipo there is no surgery, no downtime, no recovery, nothing. This is perfect! I immediately called and booked a consultation with Claudia. The clinic is very modern and is located in Yorkville. The staff was friendly and courteous. During my consult with Claudia, she was able to answer all of my questions and even provided me with information on things I hadn’t even considered. We discussed several different treatment options and decided that we do one treatment of SculpSure with 8 applicators to be placed on the stubborn areas which I hated so much. My treatment was only 25 minutes long and it was done! The only after-care required was to drink lots of water and to massage the treated areas. My treatment was such a breeze. I was walked through the entire process and wasn’t left alone for a second. The tech let me know when the heat was reaching its peak and counted it down to when it would start cooling. They did advise that I had a couple additional cooling minutes that I could use if the pain was too intense but I didn’t need it. It wasn’t painful. It feels like a warm cramp. Four weeks after my treatment I looked so slim and most importantly proportionate. I never imagined that I would be this happy when looking in the mirror. I was shocked. After the full 6 weeks, there was a noticeable difference, my clothes fit better, I even wore crop tops (which I had never done before) but above all I was happy and I was confident and it’s all thanks to Dr. Mulholland and his team.

After having my baby 11 months ago, and breastfed him for 7, my breasts are deflated. My main concern at this point is volume. I want it back. Even before I had him, I wanted to have my breasts done. Now being 29, I believe these next years coming up will be the best of my life and nice, big, yet natural looking breasts are a must for me. I DON'T want super high, fake looking breasts. I am not totally happy with the size of my areola's but considering I MAY have another child in 3-4 years, I don't believe now is the right time to mess with them and am concerned by the photos I have seen where women have had them reduced and they end up looking the same as before or worse. I do realize that if I do not have a lift I will have to wear a bra. I have olive skin and scar badly. I am concerned with silicone and would rather have saline and know right away if there is an issue. I am very interested in the new Ideal implant with the double silicone wall but filled with saline. I am pretty convinced on under the muscle is the way to go as I don't like that super obvious circular look. I want nice big voluptuous breasts that keep people guessing.. Are they real?? I'll post some wish photos. What is your best recommendation considering all of this? Can I have a lift after implants if I so choose in the future? I was told by one surgeon that the 3D machines do not work well for people who might need a lift.. Is this true?? Thank you!! Updated on 6 Oct 2015: After seeing dr jugenburg had the most and best reviews here, it was no doubt in my mind I was going to go with him however with my short timeline of needing to get in and have a decision made (we are only visiting the area) I saw Kim for my consult. She was absolutely fabulous but it was very cold in the office and I completely forgot to address my areola concerns. I was just so excited that she didn't push a lift on me as she said I was right on the line of one being that my nipples still pointed straight and were at my crease level. She also didn't push silicone either. She told me the pros and cons of both and let me decide. We went back and fourth over about 5 emails and I still don't know the difference between a areola reduction (500$) and a Benelli lift (2000$). She suggested I come in again or speak with dr jugenburg himself. I emailed him a few times and patiently waited about 2-3 days each time for a response only to find out he didn't want to answer my questions via email. So after about another week we finally skyped. By that time I had done a lot more research and had a lot more time to talk things over with my hubby and basically it came down to.. Since we are unsure if we are going to have another baby.. Having any type of lift of areola work at this point was useless. I've seen so many bad areola reduction/Benelli lift photos where the areola's just stretch back anyway, I'll be going for a lift after baby number 2 thanks. My skype chat with dr jugenburg was okay but it wasn't very hopeful feeling, he just kinda told me breast implants are not anti gravity devices.. Which he said before.. And I realize.., and said whatever shape I have now that's what I'll have with implants.. Again not very exciting. I think he probably does amazing work he's just not the surgeon for me. Updated on 6 Oct 2015: Had a second consult while waiting to hear back from dr Jugenburg with dr Lista. It felt like a honest waist of time for me. I was very excited about trying his 3d imaging but he said since I needed a lift I wouldn't like how it looked. Without really asking me what I wanted, he took my measurements and plunked them into his computer which came up with a range of 200-345cc's I think.. Not at all what I would be happy with. His price was good but he also wanted to do over the muscle so I'm just not a fan. Updated on 6 Oct 2015: I had my 3rd consult with Dr. Mulholland and I am so happy. I honestly had a gut feeling when I first was looking up surgeons in the Toronto area but it was hard to get through to his phone lines so I gave up. So glad I tried again and was able to book last minute. The ladies were and continue to be so accommodating. With everything from me needing to bring in my 11 month old to the consult, to booking me in on an already booked up day, to getting me the surgery dates while we are still here. I met with Lori first and told her right off the bat I feel more comfortable with saline. Then enters Dr. Mulholland, so confident yet so "zen". It was like he could read my mind. He took everything into account including my scoliosis which neither of the other two mentioned. Considering I may have another child, dr mulholland said I could probably get away with the augment only at this point to give me back my fullness to the upper pole and because I already have the tear drop shape a nice round implant would bring everything in and not leave me looking amazon! Haha he asked me what cup size I wanted to be but really I don't know I just want to be bigger yet not exotic dancer big. He took the words right out of my head somehow! He suggested silicone as he feels I'd see the rippling if I went with saline. I liked how it really felt like Lori had my back when she came in and asked if we discussed saline yet. But at this point I trust his judgement. Oh and i got to try the 3d vectra to pick my sizes!! It was fine!! I liked anything over 450 but picked 520 as I've heard a lot of women say they're only wish is they would of gone bigger. So that's that I am getting 520/540ccs smooth round cohesive gel (gummy bear) implants!!! I can't wait to see the results. Updated on 14 Oct 2015: Again the ladies at Dr. M's office are amazing. I was going back and forth with my hubby wondering if we should get a lift or not. Trish reassured me that she thinks I'll be happy with the outcome with just the BA and told me about her experience of having a lift before having more children and that her experience was she wasn't able to breastfeed. Although I'm not sure I will, having read the risks with silicone and breast feeding.. It's mainly with an older implant women have reported health concerns in their baby's. So depending on when and if we decide to have baby 2. Oh so much to consider! Any way! They also just got in some post op bras in my size. Oh and my hubby is done work sooner and someone just called to cancel for the 22nd, so we've moved up the date! Everything is working out so well! As for my size concerns, I was just worried 520/540 might be too heavy after trying on my rice sizers. Trish said not to worry as Dr. M will look at my wish photos again before the procedure, and she's ordered me a few different sizes, so they'll make sure I'm getting the look I want. So excited! Updated on 14 Oct 2015: One week count down! Updated on 14 Oct 2015: Thanks to czechchick I found my perfect wishboobs I'll be showing Dr. Mulholland next Thursday! Updated on 23 Oct 2015: My procedure was yesterday. Everything went very well! Everyone at Spamedica took great care of me. Dr. Mulholland is amazing. He makes me feel so comfortable and always seems to know the perfect things to say. He prefers to do drains to release any blood and fluid after. He says that this way I will see my final result within 5% actual size by the 3rd day once I have my drains removed. I am excited for this. Although it is not fun at all having these drains come from my armpits, it will be worth it. And he says less risk of any complications this way. He said he is very happy with the way the procedure went. He says I have nice cleavage and my implants have given me a nice lifted effect. I took a few photos here to see. My left breast seems a little more swollen than my right. I am sure everything will be great. We went with 520 in my left and 540 in my right. He says it was successful in correcting the asymmetry issue I had. I am so excited to have these drains out and get an actual peak! They said I can sponge bath but no shower until the drains are removed. I put a call in to the nurse to find out if I am supposed to wash the incisions. She is supposed to call me back any minutes. I am taking percocet and a form of tylenol as well as antibiotics. Everything is fine. I was only slighty dizzy from moving around too much initially. But feeling fine today. Just pretty sore and uncomfortable with the drains under my armpits but like I said it should be worth it to see my results quicker! Thank you Czechchick for checking up on me!! Updated on 28 Oct 2015: Week 1 for me was a bit tough. I had my 3 day visit with the nurse. She said the bra they put me in was too small around and cup wise. I was wondering when I got the pkg why it said 32b. I was in a 32d before but falling out of it so could of been a 32b before. I thought I talked to the nurse about getting a 32E for after. Oh well not going to call and complain. Just want to stay positive about my results. My left breast was quite a more swollen right off the bat and still is a bit. One thing I would definitely advise ladies is to not only get a size or two bigger in the cup (depending on how big you are going) but also in the band. My stumach is also extremely swollen for me! I don't fit any of my pants/jeans and the 32 band bra is a bit tight too. I'd definitely advise others to get some comfortable pants that are stretchy or bigger in the waist for the first few weeks following surgery. I've been reading on here it might last for 1-3weeks :( which sucks for me because we are not home and all I have are casual tight jeans/pants or sweats that I do not want to be seen in. I felt horrible going to my day 3 appointment in dt Toronto in them! Get yourself some cute comfy outfits you are ok being seen out in! Oh and I didn't take others advice on the stool softener and am paying for it! I had trouble going and may have caused myself a hemmeroid :S sorry TMI but had I known the meds made things that hard I would of gotten some for sure! I can't wait for my swelling to go down so I can see what my results actually are. Right now I like my right boob at least. (Will show on pics as the left side) but left boob (right side on pics) is still looking "snoopy" shaped and swollen! Updated on 1 Nov 2015: Feeling better each day. Made breakfast for my hubby for the first time in over a week. My breasts were feeling pretty heavy yesterday and are still kinda hard and cone shaped. I've been doing my massages twice a day at least. I can't wait to see the final result! Updated on 17 Nov 2015: Almost 4 weeks! I'm happy with the view from the front but my left side still looks droopier than my right on a side view. I'm hoping it will look better as a final result! I went to the bay today trying to find another bra but they have no 32d bras and we confirmed today thats what I need. It seems hard to find that size! Updated on 9 Aug 2016: Am extremely happy with Dr. Mulholland's work. Just having issues with bras hurting my shoulders and back. Wishing I wouldn't need a bra. I am a difficult size to find. Because I need a 28" -30" band the cup size gets artificially larger. A 28f or g to me looks like 34c. I can also fit 32dd tightly and 32ddd slightly off. 30g and 32e are also sizes that seem to fit but are hard to find. A lot of my asymmetry was corrected but from the side profile one side is definitely more saggy. Also that side has more of a circular look whereas the other side looks very natural and a part of me. It is supposed to be the smaller implant but to me looks like the larger. We confirmed in the surgery notes that they are correct. In the end I would definitely get a lift as soon as possible and I might even upgrade implant sizes to around 700cc ish and go extra full since I really didn't get that side profile I wanted with the full. I'm 5"10 and 127lbs or so. Updated on 9 Aug 2016: I am thin so Dr M suggested the cohesive gel over the saline because we'd definitely see wrinkles. So we went with the silicone cohesive gel implants and unfortunately i do see some wrinkles when I bend over. I would like to have some fat transferred there possibly or have this corrected in my next procedure. Updated on 6 Nov 2016: Here are some updated pics and my conclusion on to lift or not to.. I maintain that Dr. Mulholland is a amazing person and ps.. And that I had zero issues health wise. However to be honest I regret not getting a lift. I do not feel comfortable bending over naked. I do see wrinkles even though I have the best cohesive silicone implants. And because of the position of my breasts naturally being lower the added weight of the implant my back hurts as well as bras do not fit properly and my sides are uneven. I feel a lift would of prevented most of this. What really sucks is that Dr. M does not do lifts. Not sure why but I've asked twice and they just say he doesn't do them and they'd refer me to someone else in their practice. What also sucks is that for 3k more I could of done the lift and implants at another practice. Now even if I do return to Dr. M all travel cost, anestigeologist etc is my responsibility. Updated on 20 Mar 2017: Some pre pregnancy photos of my boobs ranged from 38B to 34C While breast feeding my breasts were up to 36E then down to a 32DD then as I stopped, started working out and wore a waist cincher I became a 32d (which is just a small band around with A cups but they call it D because of the small band width) After 520/540 cohesive gel implants I have 30E/F or 32DDD but feel more like a 34C what I started out with when I was 15. I definitely want bigger with a lift now. Updated on 20 Mar 2017:

Privacy is important to me; my aged mother is the only individual, apart from my doting hubby and the medical staff at SpaMedica who have been made aware of my mini facelift. However, I have done extensive reading, both before and after my surgery and, having discovered the trauma experienced by victims of unscrupulous businesses employing unqualified and/or under qualified doctors, I feel compelled to share my personal experience. My strongest advice to others seeking cosmetic surgery is this: RESEARCH, research and then, research some more. I chose Dr. Stephen Mulholland, initially, because of his solid medical background (qualifications in head and neck oncology, surgical innovations etc.), his frequent and very impressive media appearances, his consultancies and his appearances as an expert witness in medical malpractice suits. My initial session with him sealed the deal. Dr. Mulholland is a consummate professional. He is confident, candid and forthright. He questioned me about my expectations, described what he was capable of achieving then spent the remainder of our lengthy consultation outlining all of the risks, complications, symptoms etc. both physical and emotional, involved with cosmetic surgery. This was followed up with a 20+ page information packet explaining every imaginable facet of pre and post operative surgery and much more. I was fully prepared; there were no surprises! Most of Dr. Mulholland’s nursing staff have been with him in excess of 10 years, understandably helping to foster the teamwork that gives such significant results. Sharon A., my post-op R.N. performed my follow-up care, such as drain and suture removals. Her warmth, sincerity and empathy were characteristics that can’t be faked. She was also extremely competent and made it clear that she could be contacted at any time, in the event that I had concerns that needed to be discussed. My face and neck lift was performed at SpaMedica, under local anaesthesia. Suffice to say that the surgery was done under hospital quality conditions, with highly trained RNs in attendance and was much less painful than anticipated. The 4 hour, 250- mile round trip for the surgery and follow-ups was taxing but, believe me, I’d be found standing on the side of the road with my thumb out before I’d take my face to anybody but Dr. Stephen Mulholland. A reporter for the Globe and Mail, Canada's largest-circulation, national newspaper, stated that if she needed cosmetic surgery, she’d “sure haul my saggy arse to the likes of Dr. Mulholland or someone as well-trained as he is”. I’m in complete agreement. My ‘saggy arse’ can be covered up but my face is out there for the world to see and I’m very happy that I entrusted it to the right doctor. Because of anonymity issues, I was reluctant to post any photos but I would like other ‘RealSelf’ readers to observe what a proper incision around the ear should look like. Only 16 days post-op and, already, the stitching is pretty much invisible! Please ignore the tiny earlobe wrinkles; you’re looking at 70-year-old ears. I would love to post photos of the difference between the wattles that were threatening to reach my collarbone versus the new, Audrey Hepburn-esque chinline sculpted by the magician, Stephen Mulholland. Can’t do it! I know, I know, I have lost 80 plus pounds in the last year and a half (smaller potions, healthy choices, in case you are interested), which should grant me leniency from those who equate cosmetic surgery with vanity. But.... My fifty-year-old daughter is beautiful, by any standard, and looks young for her age. Her mother now looks pretty much the same age. Dr. Mulholland, I thank you. Updated on 10 Oct 2014: Hubby insists that I’m unrecognizable in the attached pix so I feel brave enough to send them. The change in my neck and chin is so satisfying that I can’t resist sharing! I’m hoping that another woman my age might see what’s possible and decide to take the plunge. My 80 plus pound plus weight loss did not bring the joy that I had anticipated; when I looked in the mirror, all I saw were hanging jowls and a flabby, sloppy chin. Rather than looking younger, I looked like an old lady with a slim body. Nowadays, (although I’m only 2 weeks post-op today), I never pass a mirror that I don’t like. What bliss! My life has taken a 180 degree turn for the better. Updated on 11 Oct 2014: Hello all. Today, I discovered the snipping tool! It’s a dandy little gizmo on the Window’s Home Premium operating system that allows one to outline and then save a portion of a photo rather than having to use a more revealing square or rectangular segment. This has made it much easier for me to attach small views of my renewed bits without having my entire face out there in the ether. Hooray! As usual after my surgery, I was feeling very pleased with myself this morning and after bathing, I applied make-up and puffed up my hair which is naturally curly and doesn’t need much fussing. I put on stockings to match one of the pretty new dresses that I’ve recently made myself (7, to be specific) and after a quick spray with Estee Lauder’s ‘Youth Dew’ (aptly named, sigh of gratification here), my stepson appeared at the front door keen to show off his father-in-law’s new Mercedes. Hubby, I and our lad enjoyed a tea and treats and during the 45 minute visit, our lad did not take the slightest notice of any change in my appearance. It looks like I won’t have to worry one little bit about disapproving fingers being waggled in my face with shouts of, “You’ve had work done!” As Dr. Mulholland stated, friends and family members not in the know will simply believe that I’ve changed my hairdo or had a rest. I’ve always been convinced that people spend very little attention to the appearance of others; we are all too self-involved to see much further than our own noses. Since this was what I had hoped for, I can’t very well complain although I must confess that some small part of me had hoped for shocked exclamations from folks stumbling back from the glory of my face, clinging to furniture and one another, gasping, “Oh my God, you’re so young and beautiful! What have you done?! Teehee. Here’s hoping that all of you other Canadians have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday this weekend! All the best to all, Louisainthewoods Updated on 13 Oct 2014: Hello All, Hubby and I enjoyed a visit yesterday from our youngest grandchildren, aged 6 and 3. They live about a 2 hour drive from us and, because my ‘secret surgery’ has kept me incognito for nearly a month, Granddad has made the last 2 contacts sans Grandma. I was standing at the top of the stairs to welcome them when the older boy stated, “That’s not Grandma!” The younger boy scowled at me and agreed, “It’s NOT Grandma!” (Shades of Little Red Riding Hood here.) I was a tad alarmed but recovered nicely and said, “Remember, guys that Grandma used to be fat but she’s not fat anymore!” That seemed to satisfy them but they remained cautious. Later that day, after I’d been sitting on the floor with them (Ah, the glories of a slim body vs. the old fatso me!), for an hour or so, engaged in some fun games, the younger fellow whispered to his brother, “It IS Grandma!” So, it looks as if I’ve passed the test from my most severe critics. My stepson (that’s only a word, he’s as dear to me as my birth children), has neither commented nor seemed to notice, any change in my appearance. No doubt, he equates all improvements with my weight loss. Children notice what adults are blind to. Well, that’s my insight for the day. All the best to you all, louisainthewoods Updated on 17 Nov 2014: Hello again, comrades in facial improvements! Tomorrow will be the second month anniversary of my lower face and neck lift. Recovery is going exactly as predicted by my PS and the info from this wonderful site. Ah, Dr. Stephen Mulholland; maestro of prestidigitation. I have suffered various surgeries in my 70 years and all have left me with extended scar tissue, better known in the PS industry as ‘hypertrophic and/or keloid’ scarring. During my initial interview with Dr. Mulholland, I showed him the horrible scar that I suffered as a result of surgery at the beginning of this year. He explained that the mess was ‘hypertrophic’ and assured me that it would not be a concern. After my surgery, hubby and I marveled at the size of his itty- bitty stitches. As you see, there is no scarring on this aged neck. NO SCARRING ! Vanity? Oh, yeah! One and a half years and 85 pounds ago, I told my sisters that it was great to be invisible; nobody looks at old ladies. We didn’t need make-up, didn’t need to dress up, didn’t need to watch our weight or exercise. Ha! It’s 11.00 A.M. and I am wearing a dress, fully made up, hair done. Hubby just made me a cup of tea and is gazing at me with love in his eyes. Need I say more? Updated on 20 Dec 2014: Despite the attached, extreme close-ups, my scars are barely visible; jowls and turkey wattle a thing of the past! As predicted, my cheeks and chin are beginning to recover sensation and my skin is in such good shape that I’m no longer wearing makeup. This is partially due to having recently undergone the first of 5 laser treatments that Dr. Mulholland includes in his lower face lift procedure coupled with the skin care products recommended by his aesthetician. Last night, hubby informed me that my cheek was “softer than a baby’s bum”. Having this surgery was the best thing that I’ve ever done for myself.
