I had been watching a "turkey neck" develop for some time. In fact I had my first assessment with Dr Zakhary five years ago and then again last summer as I knew improving this look was not something to be accomplished with fillers or other non invasive techniques. This was not an impulse decision. When she illustrated how my look could be improved, I made the commitment. To say I am pleased is an understatement. The results are subtle but evident and effective. The recovery process has been an interesting journey. There is minimal pain as it is mostly discomfort. I would definitely recommend the procedure but also stress that for best results a patient needs to follow all the instructionst exactly and not rush the recovery process. You require about three weeks recovery before you continue your normal routine.

Did u have your eyes done too?. We're u bruised?, if so how long did it take for them to fade
April 13, 2015
No I did not. I had minimal bruising. A bit under the eyes but after 2 - 3 weeks and with a bit of makeup they were not noticeable and they were fully gone within 4 weeks. A small bit down the side incisions but hair covered it. You are totally able to go out and about after 2 - 3 weeks

Thank you. No just some discomfort and anxiously watching for some improvement! I had pictures taken once per week to see the changes. I will try to post as well

How is everything going? Was it worth it and is everything still looking the same or are you starting to droop, have an aging look. Please if you could respond I am going to see Dr. Zakhary in March. Thank you so much

I see I responded to your December requested (sorry I missed it we were away). I thought Dr Zakhary was wonderful. Her followup was great and I am still so very pleased almost 3 years in. Do everything she tells you to - follow all pre and post op instructions faithfully. Please let me know how you make out after your March consultation. I will watch for it
