My healing was fast, my check-ins were breezy and uncomplicated, and my results are impressive

I highly recommend Dr. Baxter as a skilled surgeon who keeps up with best practices and whose personality puts patients at ease. He is very calm and kind, he answered all my questions and concerns in our first meeting, clearly explained my options, supporting his advice with best practice research. There are many approaches to brow lifts and he explained that over the years he became less impressed with endoscopic lifts - they seemed not to last long enough. For my highly lined, heavy brow and droopy eyelids he chose a temporal brow lift (2 incisions either side at hairline) and used a hemostatic netting technique- a kind of quilted stitch pattern horizontally across the brow- combined with an upper eyelid revision.
I had consulted with four other plastic surgeons in the Seattle area over the last four years in search of the right "fit" for me. I looked for a combination of positive reviews, evidence of skill and efficient/friendly support staff, and calm manner. I really could not see having my face in the hands of a person who did not put me at ease- difficult enough to take the plunge for cosmetic, elective surgery. Originally I consulted surgeons just for an upper eyelid lift, but the surgeon before Dr. Baxter suggested my brow was really contributing to my "tired look". By the time I consulted with Dr. Baxter I was pretty sure a brow lift was necessary to achieve the total lift I needed. He did not try to persuade me to do any other procedures, he agreed with the other surgeon that to be satisfied, I needed two complimentary procedures. He did not exert any pressure on me- he merely answered my questions and gave me the facts. The surgery itself was a surprisingly easy process, Dr. Baxter's team are warm, caring and intelligent offering good follow on care. My healing was fast, my check-ins were breezy and uncomplicated, and my results are impressive. Like so many others, I thought "gosh I should have done this a few years ago!".
I would go back to Dr. Baxter in a heartbeat. He is skilled and I have recommended him to others. I want to mention that 14 years ago I had laser resurfacing which was incredibly uncomfortable and actually painful, and my recovery process was a beast. My brow and eyelid lift was a total walk in the park by comparison! I am very happy to have moved forward with both surgeries and would go back to Dr. Baxter for any other procedure I contemplate in the future.
