Fantastic, Natural Results, Beyond What I Expected

I interviewed several prominent Bay Area plastic surgeons after feeling like I'd been run over by perimenopause, just to get some quotes and more information. But after my consultation with Dr. Parikh, I was ready to move forward - not only is his portfolio outstanding, he specializes in natural results. What I really liked was the "signature facelift" approach as it made me feel like I'm getting a very refined approach that he has honed over the years. In addition to a deep plane face and neck lift, he also advised a lower bleph, corner lip lift, chin augmentation, brow lift and Ultraclear laser. It would basically address everything possible, and I'd be basically done for a decade at least, other than routine maitenence. His pricing was the highest of 3 surgeons I looked at by as much as double. And when I looked deeper into pricing, what I discovered was that he and Dr. Liberman are nationally known for the advanced techniques, and that the work will hold up beautifully for 10-15 years, whereas other styles may only last 3-5 years. When it comes to neck lifts, they do DEEP, and move things around so you get that really beautiful, stunning jawline. I feel like that alone is a huge factor in the end results and taking a decade or more off your face. But then when you add in the brow lift and the texture issues via Ultraclear, the results have been mind blowing. I'm 52 and in the last month have been carded twice, and someone mentioned a movie from when I was 10 as being "before my time." That did not happen before! In about 12 days I was Ok to go out socially, with scars imperceptible at that time, and 2 months later totally gone. The healing period was a little rough for sure, but worthwhile. And they offer a lot of recovery options, including red light therapy, oxygen therapy, IV's, and skincare. The entire team has been incredible, and I will continue to go back for my routine lasers and wellness.
