ORIGINAL POST

I want to give a precise and meaningful review...

I want to give a precise and meaningful review without pictures because I need to protect my privacy. I appreciate all the people who have posted reviews and pictures. I think reviews are important with or without pictures so here goes...On a scale of 1 to 10 regarding the results, the procedure, the surgeon and my reaction (so far), I have to say it's off the charts...at say 100. It's only been just over two weeks. I took one week off from work and that first Saturday later, I was already at a party. My hair and Dermablend provided good cover for swelling and minor bruising. I had very little pain after the first couple of days. I look 10-15 years younger yet I don't have the wind blown look. I have received many compliments already and mostly they are about my having lost weight or about my hair. Nobody is able to quite put their finger on what it is that is making me look so good. :). I had my husband drop me off and I told him to disappear for a day and a night while TLC took care of me (great decision, by the way, and thanks to Susie, Melina and Natalie). When my husband came back to pick me up, he had no idea what I had had done. He still doesn't! (I told him I was there to fix some old scars :) :) :) ).
This is one of the best decisions I have made in my life. Yes, it's vanity but it's so much more. The confidence and positive frame of mind that this has given me cannot be measured. For any women who are in the "consideration" stage, I would highly recommend that you go forward and do it! Given that this is about your face - so visible every day - I don't know why you would choose anyone but the best. I chose Dr. Harley only after reading so many reviews (of him and others). I am not from Asheville but I can tell you this was totally worth it. TOTALLY.
Life is good.

That is such a great review. I just hope I will end up feeling the same way you do . I think Susie told me that you had amazing results and you didn't want to tell your husband you where having anything done. Not sure how you pulled that off lol

Husbands don't normally notice stuff about their wives, I think and my husband was too busy talking to look too carefully! But this is also a testimony to Dr. Harley's skills. I am sure you will do great with him and sounds like you are using TLC too. They were wonderful.

Your right they don't notice .yes I'm going solo and using tlc . Did you swell up a lot ?
March 24, 2016
I must admit I was more swollen than I expected. When he took the bandage off the next day, I really looked like a chipmunk. I also bruised on one side later. It takes about week to get to look like yourself again. My hair really covered up the swollen cheeks so that's how I was able to go out and party in a week. But you need that full week, for sure. The swelling decreases (gradually) the second week. I think I'm still swollen but looking more and more like my younger self. :)

Thanks for your fantastic review! I am the opposite, don't care who knows!! hahah Any tips on which hotel to stay out...and also how much does TLC cost? I will be traveling solo. Thanks so much!

For them being with my side from the morning of the surgery for 24 hours, they charged my $500. They took care of the hotel (it was a Fairfield Inn - only $72 per night). It was totally worth it. They took me back to Dr. Harley the next morning to get my bandage removed, dropped me off at the hotel and were gone. That's all you need them for. If not them, you definitely need someone to stay with you that first night.

Thanks so much, that's about what I was expecting. I caught myself in front of truck on the dash cam yesterday...I almost lost my breathe! Everything looked fine body, hair eve arms but holy cow when did I become a hound dog in my lower face. LOL I bet no one notices I have anything done like others have stated but I certainly will! I just have to figure out how long I have to stay up there..timing for me since I have farm animals. So glad you love your new look!!! Thanks so much for your reply!

I used TLC and recommend them as well. They picked me up at the airport, took me grocery shopping and got me settled in at the hotel as well as taking me to and from Dr. Harley's. I don't think I could have done it without their service.

Hi Joseejane, did you use uber at all ?
March 26, 2016
No, my husband joined me on the third day after my surgery. We rented a car for a very reasonable price and drove all over the place until we flew out the next week.

thank you for giving all the other ladies that are coming after us the confidence to go to Dr. Harley, I am on my 8th day and am very happy with my outcomes, you know after reading the reviews on this site, I do not read any negative reviews on Dr. H. saying they feel that the wrinkles are coming back and the sagging is coming back I don't see anything like that about Dr. H I am so glad I read these reviews on this site and found him
