I met Dr Shapiro and must say he was honest and cared about what I said.. he provided me with previous client who I spoke with me.. being a nurse who works in the surgery field I am very aware of things that could go wrong

Good 4 u ! A mid face lift will do wonders and make such a difference. I've had 2 (one in my early 50's, another a year ago at age 64). Both done by my GREAT plastic surgeon Dr. Jeffrey Colton in Novi MI. Make sure your surgeon is top notch, very experienced, fully accredited, reasonably priced, and can give u a list of patients u can call for references. And call them ! It's amazing how much it will put u at ease ... especially if u r considering combining a eye lift with the mid face lift. Take 2 weeks off from work ... u will be presentable about a week after surgery but take 2 and relax. Make sure u get all the meds beforehand (antibiotics, pain pills), follow pre surgery directions no exceptions (even vitamins can make u bruise / bleed more), and have them keep the stitches in a full 2 weeks just to make sure everything is fully healed. Show us the after pics ! :)
