In mid 30s Wanting a Tighter Face and Neck - Beverly Hills, CA

I intend to get a mini-lift plus facial fat grafting. I have pronounced platysma reticular bands as well as some excess skin on my neck. Also my cheeks are beginning to sag from years of having acne, and dramatic weight loss. Doctor recommends a 'vertical' mini lift and all over facial fat grafting. I should not look dramatically different, but a more 'refreshed' version of myself. I more excited than I am nervous as this is something I've been considering for over a year.

The surgery went really well as far as I can tell! Dr. Ellenbogen preformed a vertical mini-lift and neck lift, with facial fat grafting along my jaw, chin, and under my eyes. I have some definite swelling but ZERO bruising! And very little to know pain (mild-discomfort around the ears only--pain level a 1 or two only)

This morning I returned to Dr. Ellenbogan's for a post op follow-up. Suzanne remove my bandaging and took pictures of me from all angles. I am already pleased with the results of my neck and face I know that I am still very swollen but I am amazed at how smooth and tight my neck looks already. When the doctor came in he was very pleased as well and very kind and supportive he made me feel that i am his top concern. I will post more pictures within the next couple of days
