Need a good doctor, Run, don't walk to Dr. John Westine, Delray Beach, Florida..
No one needed to tell me that I needed a facelift, it was very evident when I looked in the mirror. I saw sharpie dogs with less wrinkles then I had. I live up north and checked with some of the best doctors New York , New Jersey had to offer. They had good qualifications, but left me cold. One doctor actually refused to do anything on me, didn't want to mess up his perfect record! (you can't make this stuff up!)
I knew a woman in Florida who had wonderful results. She chose Dr. Westine. Knowing her need for research and detail I thought she probably went to the CIA, FBI, etc. to get all she needed to know! She was thorough!!! So I made an appointment and found out she was so right about everything she told me . His credentials are pristine, graduating with honors he is double board certified. He is a member of an elite group of only 1,000 doctors specializing in plastic and reconstructive surgery. He has all the smarts you want in your doctor. When I met him for my consultation I was so impressed with the time he took with me. I could not believe how gracious he was during this lengthy visit. Every question was explained to me in a manner in which I was able to "get it." He exudes such compassion and sensitivity and a wanting to make you comfortable with this journey. He realizes that this is a scary decision to make. He was right because I was scared to death! But I soon realized that I was not only getting this brilliant surgeon who came with the most qualified , compassionate staff. You know from the start they will never disappoint.
I had an unfortunate experience two days post op. I got a compression clot, a very rare occurrence , certainly not as a fault of the doctor. I had partial paralysis on one side of my face. As upset as I was, I think he was more upset . He explained that this was very rare but not permanent, it just needed time.
He saw me everyday for the next two weeks, over weekends, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Years Eve and New Years Day, "just to be sure you're ok!" I was frustrated because I watched everyday, many times a day and saw slight movement. He understood my frustration and said for me it was like watching grass grow. But everyday he took videos and photos so I was able to see what was really happening. He was right! Just as he said when it started...I fully recovered in a relatively short time.
On my last visit with him he told me I was HIS hero. I was diligent with my facial exercises and he appreciated all the hard work I did!!!! And then HE THANKED ME for allowing him to take this journey with me. If only he knew....I felt like I was walking with John Westin, M.D., AKA ..GOD!!!! What an exceptional human being.
Even with an unexpected, unfortunate setback, was it worth it? Was I happy with my experience?
Well, I leave next week for part two: having rhinoplasty done! Never a second thought as to who will be doing it!!!! Don't miss an opportunity with this wonderful doctor! Beyond your expectations, I promise!!!!!
Well, I go back next week for him to do a rhinoplasrty
