  • This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
  • Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
  • Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.

If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Request for advice and a big THANK YOU.

Thank you all for the support you've provided. I'm not usually much for online support, but this community has certainly taught me a lesson on that attitude! I am wondering if I should have had my lower eyes done at the same time, but that is past. For now, I'm trying some serums. Elemis Eye Duo first. If you have any advice on serums for face/eyes, I'd love to hear them. Thank you all again.

5 Weeks Post Op Before and After Photos

5 weeks. Seems like 5 months. The attachment of my earlobes at the bottom is still a bit red and under my chin is still a little sore. I still have some swelling in my face, a lot under my chin, and a little hardness and numbness in front of my ears. All normal, according to Dr. Richards. He says all the lump under my chin is swelling that will resolve over the next month or two.
I'm pretty happy with it. People mostly say I look "radiant" or "glowing", when they comment at all. I usually tell the older women that I had a lower lift and let the men and younger women just think what they will!

Before and After at 3 Weeks Post Op_right side pics

Even with the swelling under my chin (which I hope goes away - yes it's making me a bit neurotic and I know it's only 3 weeks post and the doctor said it would all go away - I'm leaning toward "worth it". I'm off for a family vacation today. We'll see who says anything about the difference and if they "know".
