Overall it was a terrific experience

After my years of contemplation about having a lower neck/face lift I finally made the decision to do it this past August. I have been getting injectables and other treatments from Dr. Karimi for over 10 years. What I love about Dr. Karimi, besides the fact that he is just fun to work with, is his honesty. Over the years he has told me "no" when I wanted something he felt was unnecessary and never pushed anything at me. He had been telling me for a while that my aging face had reached it limits as far as filler and the only real solution was a deep plane neck & face lift (plus full face fat transfer, upper & lower blepharoplasty, and a BBL Halo laser treatment). He was right. I was nervous about being under a general anesthetic for as long as I was (8 hours!) but I came out of that just fine. The first 4-6 days were a bit of a journey, but no pain. Just discomfort, swelling, etc., etc. His nurse, Michelle was & is amazing and answered all of my neurotic questions quickly. Overall it was a terrific experience, and now that I am coming up on 8 weeks and back to all of my normal activities, I am only left with some numbness, some quickly fading scars that aren't even visible, and lots of compliments! from those who know I had the procedure. Those didn't know have said nothing except your skin looks great. Highly recommend Dr. Karimi.
