WORTH IT
Can't say enough regarding the work of Dr. Ye and his awesome staff. I'm healing really well (still some swelling and numbness) but overall things are good. I wish everyone the same happiness in looking and feeling on the outside the way that we feel on the inside. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

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.

you look fantastic your scars are so neat you state is was mini did that include your neck ?
January 2, 2016
no neck, and yes my neat scars are due to the doctor. I've looked at other peoples pics after their surgery. The incisions are big, bulky, and painful looking. If you look at my pics you will see that when Dr. Ye finishes everything looks nice , neat and precise.

Wow! I didn't think you needed anything before but whew, you look like a teenager now!! I think those of us with fuller round faces make out wonderfully since once the fullness is put back up everything fills out better. Your PS is a master!! :)

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

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.

Your results are stunning, and you are healing so well! I am glad that you've been able to get back to work - you must be feeling really good.
