Look No More!!

To begin with, I like to do my homework in regards to any kind of plastic surgery! I had been to 3 different doctors, all of which had excellent reputations. I went back to one of these doctors twice and he seemed annoyed that I had more questions to be answered. He rushed me through the appt. and I thought to myself- this is my face and I didn't appreciate being rushed!
I went to Dr. Malone and she gave me an hour of her time and encouraged me to return if I had any more questions. And of course I did! When I returned for a second visit, she made me feel like she had all the time in the world for me. I knew from the first visit where she showed me multiple patients faces that she had done that she understood my concerns of looking like myself, just more refreshed! I knew intuitively she was the person I was going to trust with my face!
She did not disappoint!! She did a face, and necklift, and an upper and lower blepharoplasty! I was never in any pain, just uncomfortable sleeping upright for a couple of weeks! I knew when I saw myself early on that I looked like myself and that the end result was going to be wonderful!
I was swollen under my eyes for quite sometime but that varies from person to person! Her nurse Amber was so helpful and patient with my concerns. She answered all of my questions in regards to the swelling and assured me my skin would "settle down". And of course it did! I am not very patient so this poor nurse heard from me often! She never, ever made me feel like I was being a pain, but I am sure that I was!
I am 6 months in and I hear so many wonderful things from people that I haven't seen. Not many people know that I had this done and they just tell me I look so rested! I truly look like a version of my younger self and Dr. Malone should receive 10 stars in my eyes. Every follow up visit she gave me a
thorough check up and assured me if I had any concerns to come back again if needed before my next appointment. Every single thing I was concerned about she gave me the timeline of when (approximately) it should be resolved! I am 64, so this is a one and done for me! And by the way it took me 3 years to actually have the nerve to go through with the surgery.
Honestly, look no further!! Her team, Natalie at the front desk, and Dr. Malone are the absolute best choice!
