Highly Recommend Dr. Athre
Dr. Athre was wonderful. Very attentive, great bedside manner, always answered all my many questions. One of the reasons I chose him was because I wanted a deep plane facelift without general anesthesia. I ended up getting upper and lower blepharoplasty also and I'm so glad I did. After taking the necessary pills (pain pills and Valium I think), the surgery went off without a hitch, I was even able to get up and use the restroom and have a little bit of soup around lunch time. The whole thing took about 7 hours, and yes I was awake for much of it, chatting away with the doctor. Dee, the doctor's wonderful surgical assistant, never left my side, even though I told her she should take a break.
The next day, Dr Athre personally came to my house to check on me, empty my drains, etc. I loved this because it was so much better than having to go to his office, even though I could have if necessary, as I was able to be up and about, eat and drink, etc. I did rest most of the time however. I only needed pain pills the first day home. After that, the worst thing was having to very firmly run my thumbs from my throat up to behind my ears to drain all the fluid buildup. I had to do this for at least a week or two. When I wasn't doing that I had to wear the stretchy head bandage for compression. It took about two weeks before I could go out in public, with makeup covering my bruises.
I LOVED the results, as did my friends and family. Very natural looking, I looked at least 15 years younger. After a few months my salivary glands dropped down and made bumps. My friends did not notice, but because it was bothering me, Dr. Athre did a redo surgery, only charging me for the room and services, but not for his time. It did help somewhat. Because my friends and family still don't notice, I'm letting it be. Otherwise, I'm very much enjoying wearing short necklaces again with no jowls! I also started wearing beautiful eye makeup again. Thank you, Dr. Athre and staff!
P.S. Because they are a med spa I got a free facial on my birthday!
