I went to Dr Westine on the recommendation of a friend. I was growing increasingly despairing of my aging face, to the point where I had started to avoid my usual social activities. Even so I was scared to go for a facelift, knowing how devastating it could be if things didn't go well... My worries disappeared when I went for my consultation.The doctor and his staff are all very professional, and the office well run. I felt confident that I was in good hands. The results are amazing, by far exceeding my expectations. I couldn't be happier, and I feel like I have been given my life back!

Welcome to the community and thanks so much for offering your opinion of your doctor.

It would be great if you could give us a little more detail about your experience, like why you had the surgery, your tips for getting good results, pros/cons, and info on the recovery process.

Our community members especially love seeing photos from before, during, and after — a realistic look at what they can expect. Photos grab the attention of the community and encourage more support for you.

As a community manager, I get requests all the time from other members who want me to to keep encouraging people to share their experiences, which are so helpful for others considering these procedures. So please accept this as a well-intentioned request from thousands.

Thanks Sheila. I didn't post pictures because I have a profession that is very much in the public eye, and I want my privacy. However I did give Dr Westine permission to use my photos on a case by case basis, after checking with me first. I would be happy to answer any questions regarding my experience. I find "Realself" a very valuable source of information on cosmetic procedures, and I want to thank all those making it available.

glad to hear your happy with dr Westine, I have thin skin and am worried about doing the laser resurfacing with the lift
did u laser your whole face??
I appreciate any thing you tell me

Yes, I did do the whole face laser. I had it light overall, then a bit stronger in the areas that needed it. I also have quite thin skin, but the laser can be adjusted to your needs. With the fractional lasers, the skin comes off in a very fine powder, so I think it is much safer, even though your skin is thin, it shouldn't tear. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. Were you thinking of going to Dr Westine for your surgery?

Fantastic, I'm so happy for you!!! Believe me, I didn't think it was something I would ever do, but now I'm so happy that I did. Yes, it was just over two months ago now. The incisions are hidden in and behind the ear, and everything looks normal. I still have a bit of swelling at the top of my neck, although it isn't something anyone else would notice. I didn't loose any sensation, but felt a bit weird and stiff. That has almost completely passed, and most of the time now I forget I even had anything done. For some reason the hardest days for me were day 4 and 5. You look worse and worse for a few days, and that's when you need the support of good friends. Day 6 I started improving, and it was downhill from there :) My friend's Aunt who was 70 had her facelift done with him, and she looked about 20 years younger! He has photos of all his patients, but only uses them if you give him permission. Good luck, keep it touch and let me know how things are progressing.

I'm happy for you, that your doing so well. Thank you for your very reassuring info
Could u you tell me how long ago your friend who referred you, and the aunt did their surgeries. And how their jowls and necks are holding up.
Did you go home after surgery or sleep over?
I do feel confident in choosing him,
But I have never seen anyone in person that used him,
My friends who have had work done are up north.
Thank you again!

Hi mattkim. It was my friend's Aunt that had it done. It was about 7 years ago, and it is holding up fine, despite her advanced age. I went home after, and my friend stayed to take care of me, and drive me to the appointment the next day. I think a couple of the office staff have had facelifts done by him, so ask and I'm sure they will be willing to talk to you about it. I never write reviews, but this was such a life changing experience for me I wanted to share it to give other people in my situation hope!
