Would Not Go Back - Barrington, IL

$30,000
I wanted to get rid of the sagging that had started in my neck and the lines on my lower face. Not all that pleased with the neck as it's not smooth. The facial lines were somewhat improved right after the surgery, but 6 years later they're right back to what they were. That's a really high price to pay for something that only lasted a few years, and I am not a smoker and never do any "sunbathing", so that's not the problem. Lastly and just as important, he has no respect for patients and keeps you waiting well over an hour for every appointment. The man never once saw me on time, not even after my surgery. I ended up finding a new doctor and I'm much happier with his work on fillers. Would not recommend Dr. Bazell.

Dr. Bazell was pleasant enough but consistently late for every appointment. The fillers he injected look terrible and I would not recommend him for that at all. My facelift results have not lasted and that is quite disappointing considering how expensive it was. More than once when he did Botox injections around my eyes he hit something with the needle that left me with permanent little red marks near my eyes. And the receptionist! Omg! She couldn't tear herself away from reading her novel to even talk with me for 2 minutes! Just felt she was extremely rude and uncaring. Take a pass on this place.

I am sorry your results didn't last. Were you pulled after surgery? I had a facelift almost 8 months ago and I am very unhappy with how lax my face and neck are already.
Nothing was done after the procedure except the usual follow up appointments. I just feel looking at my face now that the parenthesis lines near my mouth are right back to what they were before the surgery. I'm looking for a decent product that helps with firming skin, but I doubt I would go through another surgery. Too expensive and just not worth it in terms of results.
I think the only thing that will get rid of them is fat grafting or fillers.
