Face/neck lift, endoscopic brow lift

The decision, for me, to have a facelift was not a hasty one, But, the combination of droopy eyelids, sagging jowls and neck, as well as years of paying for expensive non-surgical procedures that were no longer going to improve my issues initiated my research of facelifts and plastic surgeons. Being a health care professional, I wanted a highly rated board certified facial plastic surgeon (which cuts down the choices greatly) who ONLY works on faces; a Dr. who displayed many before and after pictures which showed both natural yet significant results; and I preferred a practice that had their own accredited surgery center primarily for ease and convenience. I met with 3 surgeons (Fort Myers and Scottsdale), and I met with Dr. Prendiville twice (a year between visits) as I felt he best met all my requirements. He was confident in what procedures I needed. He initially recommended CO2 laser (which they all did) but I chose to only have the face and brow lift done due to my tight recovery timeline. Dr. Prendiville's staff I encountered through pre-op, surgery day and follow-up were all professional, encouraging and supportive. I was thoroughly informed verbally and in writing of pre and post- operative instructions which I followed very closely. I am now two weeks post-op and am very pleased with my results so far. I had no pain, the bruising is nearly gone, and I now need to be patient and wait for the mild swelling and tightness to continue to resolve. I truly look like a better, younger version of myself. I could not have asked for a better experience.
