Fantastic Results from a Skilled Surgeon

Allvox
I had this procedure in January 2023. I am 63 years old.
I did my research well but was lucky to find the perfect surgeon for me only 30 minutes away. Anthony Macquillan not only is an experienced plastic surgeon and a nerve specialist but is also a wonderful person to have contact with. He is so kind and considerate, he takes his time explaining everything and at all points during our visits right up to the day itself he said I could change my mind at any time if I wanted to! which I thought was remarkable. He is incredibly honest, and tells you all the worst things that could happen, which is scary but at least you can make an informed choice. And I would've got my money back! He has a great team and in particular his anaesthetist Daniel is superb and also put me so at ease. Recovering from a deep plane face and neck lift is not the simple thing that sometimes people make it out to be. Anthony doesn't use drains. He uses a netting that is sewn under the surface of your skin and when your face swells ,boy, do you know it!
If you work too soon, it will swell up again, even though the netting is removed quite quickly. Even now nearly a year on, I still have some pulling and tightening under my chin, where the nerves are still knitting together -this is not a quick process. However, the results are almost instantaneous! Once you see that swelling going down, you can see the difference he's made.

It's also very interesting to know that only 10 people know I had this procedure and of the ones that didn't even though they've been sitting right next to me, had no idea. People just say oh you look great or have you had a good rest.

Admittedly I wasn't horrendous before, but I didn't like the fact that my once sharp jawline has deteriorated. I didn't have any fat transferred into my cheeks, but I did have some under my eyes which worked well and I managed to retain about 80% of it. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Anthony. He is superb so much so that he's giving me another operation on Saturday. This time on my tummy! I have every faith in him and his techniques
The reason i only have partial pics is because I want to keep this to myself as much as possible:)

You look stunning! Great review and helpful info on the recovery process. It’s clear you will be enjoying your beautiful results for a long time. I’m particularly interested in how few people you told (and the response from those who didn’t know.) I’m doing the same thing in three weeks: DP FL/NL / telling very few people. Hoping to pull it off as well as you have. I think people pay much less attention to other’s appearance than we think. Which is why it’s most important to do this procedure for ourselves and no one else. Thanks again!

Thank you so much for your comments and I do hope your surgery goes well. If you need advice don’t push it you will need to learn to sleep elevated and on your back but for future that will keep you in much better shape facially anyway. And it’s amazing how quickly you can teach yourself to do that I also found that using scar tape under my chin really helped, but the scars in front of my ears have disappeared completely and the ones behind my ears, and nobody gets to see anyway, and they are very small. It’s one of the best decisions I ever made I’m sure you will think it’s one of the best decisions you’ve ever made too.
