DEEP NECK SMG/ NECKLIFT PROCEDURE
Photos of my husband before and 5 days after surgery. Although bruising and swelling is still evident, he is healing well and is completely off pain meds. I will continue to add more photos as he heals.

As a Doctor Myself, Dr. Simon Ivey is Extremely Professional and Highly Recommended for Surgical Needs!
My husband and I both decided to get facial plastic surgery. As a doctor myself, I obviously did my research for our needs. My main concerns were graduation from a upper class US med school and educational foundation and board certification, as well as experience. I didn’t want someone too young due to lack of experience and I didn’t want someone too old due to “set in their ways mentality” and not open to the new procedures that are being learned around the globe. I know that new medical advances and technologies are shared with other countries who also specialise in plastic surgery procedures; (think Brazil, Korea and Europe) and I wanted someone who was well versed with the updated techniques and medical advances. Dr. Ivey ticked all of those boxes. What I didn’t know at the time when choosing Dr. Ivey, is that he is also the most down to earth, nicest “guy next door” and has the most incredible diagnostic eye for his surgery decisions and recommendations. For instance, I had assumed due to my “tired eyes” that having a lower bleph would be the procedure that I needed, but upon our consultation, Simon shared why he thought that a lateral brow lift combined with under eye laser would address my concerns better. He also suggested a buccal fat pad removal to improve the overall look- something that I hadn’t even thought of, which is surprising, since it is the area of my specialty! The cost difference was negligible and he shared why this combination would suit me, in a caring and non-demeaning manner.
My husband was scheduled for a necklift. We were both happy with the consultation and procedure from a surgery aspect; (there are different ways to address a necklift). But the most incredible thing happened while I was waiting for my husbands surgery- a nurse came out and informed me that Dr. Ivey decided to proceed a little differently and it would lead to a better outcome, however, it would take longer than planned. Wow- that to me (as a doctor), was actually reassuring, because it meant that once my husband was “opened up”, Dr. Ivey could see more of what he was actually dealing with and wasn’t afraid to change his way of pre-planned thinking and instead addressed the concerns that he saw in front of him and acted accordingly. Some patient’s wives may have been intimidated by this note from the nurse, but I smiled inside, knowing that my husband was going to have a superior outcome. Having a surgeon willing to not only go that extra mile for the better outcome for the patient, but to also not be afraid to change course of action once the whole picture is in view is paramount. Dr. Ivey clearly has his patient’s needs in first place.
In my opinion, if you are thinking of having your holiday in Hawaii and having facial plastic surgery too, then go the extra step and book your flight to Maui with Dr. Ivey and his professional team. You won’t be disappointed.
We are currently on day 3 and 4 of our surgeries and the followup aftercare is as good as I could imagine. Dr. Ivey has seen us daily thus far for post op checks and has re-wrapped and made sure each step of our healing process is in order. He has been clear on specific instructions and what to expect next.
I will post photos soon of our journey. I have had literally, no bruising and am off my paid meds on day 3, (except OTC). Such a lovely experience!
I didn’t mention earlier, but we flew in from out of town, so I had to correspond via email and phone many times prior to our consult. Both Dr. Ivey and Gretchen were very attentive to all of our needs, from specific medical questions, to pricing for different procedures as well as time changes that came up prior to to our scheduled appointment due to airline reschedules. Gretchen was lovely and went out of her way to accomodate.
