My Facelift

As a cancer survivor of Lymphoma followed by serious complications from the treatment that saved my life, I ended up spending about 2 years of my life on a myriad of drugs. In the end, I was alive but had aged at least 10 years ahead of my years. I spent the next 5 years lifting the skin on my face in every mirror I passed and imagining what a facelift would look like. At 65, I didn’t want to look 30 as it wouldn’t match the rest of my body, and I didn’t want to look younger than my children either. I wanted to “look good for my age” and at least restore what I think I would have looked like minus the illness. From my initial consultation with Dr. Bansal, I knew I was in the right place. He helped me decide which procedures would accomplish my goal without going overboard. He set realistic expectations and carefully explained a comprehensive recovery program designed to maximize the both the recovery and the longevity of my results. Beginning the day of my procedure, the care was excellent from my doctors, surgical nurses and support staff. I was constantly monitored both by phone and in person to make sure I was healing well and doing my part (mostly resting and eating a heathy diet) to speed recovery. Aside from Day 1 post surgery, I had very little pain and didn’t need the pain prescription provided for me. The surgeon, Dr. Hendrick, certainly knew his business. I’m extremely pleased with how I look now and no visible scars. He too, kept a periodic check on me to make sure my result was as expected. The program at Elite MD is cost effective as well if you chose to participate. You’re making a substantial investment and putting your public persona in someone else’s hands. I did my homework and got what I expected and then some – a result that makes me happy every day. I’m so glad I did it!
