WORTH IT
OK, i had a blepharoplasty upper and lower earlier this year. It didn't make me look any younger, simply not tired and old looking. But i admit, i always wanted a face lift but was too afraid to have it done (stereotypes, judgement by family and friends). I decided to go for it. Dr. Ye did my eyes and i trusted him so why not the rest. So on 11/9/15 I had the mini lift (with muscles). It hasn't been 48hrs so it's too soon to post results. I had everything done in his office under local anesthesia. I'll post pics. Recovery is so far so good.

Can't say enough about the work of Dr. Ye !! and Julie his right hand. They are a fantastic team and can be reached at any hour of the day or night. I had a few mishaps and I was able to call Julie and reach her right away. I could have called Dr. Ye but i'm more comfortable calling Julie. We got to the bottom of my problem and straightened things out right away. What was the problem you ask? lol...i was barely eating and taking antibiotics and percocet on an empty stomach and threw up like crazy for 24 hrs. I think that is what caused my increased bruising and swelling. But everything is good now and i'm doing great for 6 days out. BTW i'm taking arnica (not recommended by md) and i think it is making a difference in my healing as well. I'll update pics once my sutures are out on monday. Take care everyone.

To my eye, you look good before the facelift. So You will likely look fabulous after you heal.

You do look younger in your update pictures... Still fabulous. Your doctor did a good job. You don't look pulled too tight.

Well, just getting some free time to update my post. Things have gone absolutely great. I'm back to work and no one has noticed anything....one person said i looked tired...another person said i looked refreshed...I have healed amazingly well. My doctor is very happy. I still sleep in my drape and wear it when i'm alone in the house (per Dr. Ye) I still have some numbness, and my face is still kind of hard but that is slowly easing away.

2 months later, I'm still healing but doing great. I wish everyone luck and hope for the same great results that I have achieved. I can't speak highly enough of Dr. Ye and his staff. He does excellent work and he is a perfectionist when it comes to his work. I don't believe that I will ever let anyone else touch my face (regarding surgical procedures). Happy New Year
