Wondeful Experience - Beverly Hills, CA

1 year post

almost 2 years later

WORTH IT$20,000
My facelift and mid cheek lift are back to where they were less than two years later. I'll post pictures from my phone tomorrow. The cheek lift and facelift did nothing for my jowls and marionette lines. My profile was improved, but my profile was tight to begin with. Paid 25K. I'm going to ask for a revision. I still trust this doctor, but my job was not a success. Look for my before and after pictures tomorrow. They speak for themselves.

Dr. Brent is the kindest surgeon I've met. We are humans to him and not just customers. He patiently answered my long list of concerns at my Pre-op appointment, and I left feeling excited rather than nervous. He strikes me as a perfectionist, the hallmark trait of an excellent cosmetic. Dr. Rothman, the anethesiologist, is also a gem, as are Crystal and a Penny Sprague. Penny went out of her way to make the whole experience positive for me. If you need to stay in an aftercare facility, Serenity Cosmetic Surgery Aftercare is heaven. The care and food exceeded my expectations. For an additional fee, Serenity will pick you up in a gurney, and you get to lie flat and be administered painkillers if needed. Ever so much better than getting in and out of a car straight out of surgery.

That terrible, after-all a lift should last 10 yrs. I'm sorry this happened to you.
I'm glad I'm reading your review I was planning to make an appointment with him next week in Santa Barbara for exactly the same procedure! Keep us posted!
I'm sorry that happened to you. I hope he follows through on the revision. I don't see a photo posted here 1 yr post.
Yikes, I hope my upcoming facelift doesn't fall through that soon! What a disappointment!
I was told by my plastic surgeon that a mini face and neck lift could last 2 to 4 years. I think it depends on the type of skin you have. I really thought it would last longer for the amount of money it costs.

Still thrilled

10 days post-op, still bruised around the eyes and swollen, but I feel great, -Ned I can tell the results are going to be just what I wanted. I don't know why my pics aren't uploading but I'll figure it out.

After a fair amount of investigating the top...

After a fair amount of investigating the top cosmetic surgeons in the country, I chose Dr. Moelleken based on the reviews from this site and his before and after pictures. Dr. Brent performed a lower face and cheek lift and a CO2 laser peel on me June 22, 2016. The experience was so painless and positive that I can't imagine being in better hands. I wouldn't dare choose another cosmetic surgeon, even though we drove 14 hours to get to Beverly Hills. My face is shrouded in bandages so I haven't seen much of it yet, but I'll post pics throughout my recovery. I am confident that my result will meet my expectations.
