48 Year Old Singer Tired of Hearing, "Are You Tired?" - Coral Gables, FL

ORIGINAL POST

Hi! I can't tell you enough how much this surgery...

WORTH IT
Hi! I can't tell you enough how much this surgery has changed my life! I feel and look years younger and was very blessed to have the best surgeon ever! Dr. John Martin in Coral Gables Florida was AMAZING!! I had to wait three months to have the surgery, but it was worth the wait. I have recommended many woman to his office and they too are very happy. Dr. Martin is very thorough and his staff is as sweet as can be. Don't wait. Make your appointment! I had my upper eyes done along with a brow lift. As for pain? I didn't have any. The only thing that was a little bothersome was the dry eyes in the morning after waking up. That only lasted apox 2 weeks. After that, not another issue. Do it! You will be soooooo happy you did!

You look great!!!
Thank you! ;)
Hi! I look very similar to your photo and I am on the fence about when to do the surgery as I have 3 kids and am busy and don't know how long I have to hide out. I have to ask you, most of the ladies doing this surgery look beat up for week afterwards...with weeks of swelling after. You have nothing. I believe surgeon skill is key to having a better recovery. Your surgeon was very skilled. My question for you is have people noticed? I am sure you are like me that you didn't want anyone to quite know why you look better but you just do....and why no bruising? or big lumpy scars?
Hi! My doctor said I barely bled during surgery and even told my husband, "she probably won't bruise because of it"...he was right! Yes, people say I look great, and think I lost weight. Lol! I have told friends, so that they can do the same. They all say they would never have known. I can even go without makeup and you can't see anything! I want to share the wonderful feeling this gave me. I'm a singer, and just to let you know, I did a music video in less than ten days from the surgery. I have no lumps at all. I did for about 8 days, but that was the sutures and they eventuality desolved. I have a friend who gets keyloids and with this doctor she had no issues. Do it! It's SOOOOO worth it! ;) Good luck! Oh, healing was easy. I went out to dinner 4 days later. I was shocked how well it went. I really did my research, and Dr. Martin came highly recommended. After all it is our face...You gotta be super careful! Good luck!
Your eyes look great! I am going to have eyelids and brow lift too. Have had consultations but not scheduled yet. Do you mind sharing what kind of Brow lift you had and the stitch sites, etc. At my consultations they have mentioned endoscopic and the one where they make incisions at the hairline. I am trying to research as much as possible before having done. Thanks!
Hi! Thank you. You are going to be so happy! The stitches for my brow lift are in my hair, a little further in from the hairline. You can't see them at all. I will update my page with a photo later and will try to get a close up of it. I have a hard time finding it when I show my friends. The ones who haven't seen me since before the surgery comment on how young I look. They say, "What are you doing to stay so young? " Then I tell them, (some of them), & they all say the same thing. "I can't see anything!" Like I said before, this was the best money I ever spent! May I ask who you are going to? I wish you the best! ;)
Thank you! I live in Alabama and have had consultations with Dr Core and Dr Rousso. I haven't narrowed it down to one yet....but I feel I will be in good hands with either of them. I can't wait to do this! I need to try and get rid of 20 pounds before I do this though...my decision to do that.
Wow, you look fabulous! Thanks for your review.
Thank you! Are you planning to have the same surgery?
Wow! Huge difference!
