51 years old, hormonal changes gave me a turkey neck and jowls. Chose Dr Harley to turn the clock back.

Going through hormonal changes really messed up my face and neck. It was getting bad last year and contemplated using a local plastic surgeon. He told me it would be over 11,000, when I went to my Aesthetic nurse who does my Botox she brought up Dr Harley and told me to check out the reviews on Real Self. I was so glad I did! His results look very natural and he seems to have many very pleased patients. My face to face consultation is May 4, I had originally booked the procedure back in January and couldn’t get in until August but Juanita informed me of a cancellation ( I had been calling weekly to see if there was one) so I snatched it up for May 22. I have booked an Airbnb for 4 nights and will have Molina, a private nurse, stay with me the 1st 24 hours. I am so excited!

Good luck! We actually met at Dr Haley’s office last week. I will be watching your story.

I have a mini lift scheduled. I'm 57. The cost here in Indy is 7,740.00 but I got an email for a discount of 750 if I had it performed by June 28. So I did just that!
May 21, 2018
Keep us posted!! How much will it be or do you not know yet?
May 21, 2018
It is 6900.00 for the lift and 400.00 for TCA peel under eyes only.

Hello MJ
Just found your review and want to say I’m excited for you and I’ll be following your review. I think you’re in great hands, I’ve seen so many different reviews from many different plastic surgeons and it seems like Harley is one of the best.

Hi MJ. Good luck with your procedure! Feel free to ask any questions. I’m post op with Dr. Harley 7 months.

Thank you so much, you look wonderful! I’m excited and nervous, i have hesitated a couple times after seeing a couple of really bad facelifts, locally ( not dr Harley’s patients). Are you happy with your results? Is there anything else you wish you would have done while you were on the operating table? I am driving from Chattanooga (3.5 hrs away) and am not sure if I will feel like driving back after 3 days and then driving 7 hours rt to have my sutures removed 4 days after that. What do you think? I’ll be by myself but have 24 hours of aftercare with Molina. Also thinking about upper bleph and TCA peel. I am actually at the Clarion in Asheville tonight to meet with Dr Harley for my consultation tomorrow.

Hi. Thank you and I’m sure you will too. Yes I am, and very happy with Dr. Harley’s after care with any issues or questions. As far as driving with peel, eyes and lift it might be a bit soon. Maybe play it by ear and see how you feel? I was still tired at day 3. I felt good but needed naps lol. I would have done peel for sure. My eyes were ok then but since the upper lids have become lax, nothing to do with lift. I’ll be having Dr. Harley do those this fall. I’m sure you’ll like Dr. Harley when you meet him. Let me know if I can help further. Nerves are just part of process.

Just had consultation with Dr Harley!

I just had my consultation with Dr Harley! Wow, what a great experience, he takes time to explain things and answer all of your questions. He is very humble and has a great bedside manner too. He told me I was a good candidate for the Biltmore Lift and I could wait a few years on the upper Bleph, he also said he didn’t think I needed TCA peel on my entire face but could possibly see some benefits under the eye area. Juanita was just as sweet in person as she is on the phone. I arrived early and met 6 other people that were having consultations with him this morning. Today they are booking for December as the earliest time. I have my Airbnb booked, which is less than 2 miles from his office, fairly new, 2 bedrooms with a full kitchen. It was only 121per night for my week days. I will drive home on the 3rd night and drive back (3.5 hrs) to have surgeries removed on day 7 or 8 and stay 1 more night. I am beyond excited!

That is awesome mj43. Without peel and eyes your drive would be more manageable. So glad your consultation went great! Looking forward to following our review!

Thanks for sharing your journey. If I can ever get myself to Asheville, I may hit you up for more info on your Airbnb.

Hi! My consult is on June 15 and my surgery is July 16. I will be following your journey, your neck looks exactly like mine. I haven’t tried to post pics yet but I’ll get there. I’m so exited for you! I’m hoping to find others who will be in Asheville in mid July with me. Best of luck, I’m sure you’ll have a great outcome.
