From start to finish, I was extremely satisfied with the plan to make me look younger but still look like myself! The pre- and post-op instructions were detailed and very helpful, and the entire team was so caring and helpful. The surgical nurse, Maria, who has been with Dr. Machida for 20 years, explained that she would be with me during the entire procedure, ensuring that I would be comfortable. I was given locals, but slept through the surgery. The virtually invisible stitches in front of my ears were so tiny and perfectly sewn. After just few weeks, they could not be seen. Dr. Machida performed a deep-plane face and necklift, a Fractional CO2 Laser Treatment, and an Upper Blepharoplasty. I am almost 67 years old and feel like I look 50 again! I highly recommend this skilled, well-educated, and compassionate surgeon!
