Exceeded expectations and I am one tough customer

I wanted to provide an in-depth review of my experience and not just provide
I am no stranger to plastics, having had at least 5 body procedures done, and they were done by two different surgeons on the East Coast. So it was time to address my saggy jowls and the beginning of a Turkey neck. I selected Dr.
David for a consult because he was really the only surgeon (in my opinion) who had excellent before/after photos or facelifts AND revision rhinoplasty. So I met with Dr. David and upon initial consultation, I found him to have a quiet confidence about him that I intuitively had a good feeling about. We formulated a plan for me to have a La Jolla Lift, fat transfer under the eyes, revision rhinoplasty, and upper eyelid surgery. He wasn't sure if he could straighten out my nose AND improve my breathing. But I went forward with the revision rhino anyway, having the deepest confidence in his abilities. The pre-op instructions were crystal clear. A+ for those. As for post-op, I wish those instructions would be more in-depth (like suggesting taking Arnica Montana, . I ended up going on a few other plastic surgeon websites to research more in-depth instructions. The biggest piece of feedback I can give his office is this: I wish post-op appointments would be given more attention. I had my staples and sutures removed and went back to have others removed, and they discovered I still had some sutures that hadn't been removed on the first follow-up appt. That shouldn't happen. As for my results? I am BEYOND THRILLED. I now have a nose that is straight, beautifully shaped, and I can breathe so much better! As for the remaining face work I can say this: within 14-16 days I had minimal bruising and swelling. I love everything he did to give my face a youthful appearance while still looking like myself. Not only is Dr.
David a great surgeon, he is also an artist. And those are difficult to come by. I feel fortunate to have selected him to do all this work on my face.
My husband is scheduled to have a hair grafting procedure in a month with Dr. David and we know it will be another great experience.

That's so brave of you to do all of those procedures at once! How are you feeling now? And where did you get the suspension device I need one for a MOHS surgery I am having on my nose next month

Hello there! Thank you for your note. I am a year out and looking and feeling great. I got that glasses/nose support on Amazon! I think it was ~$9. Best thing ever. I am damn near blind and that thing helped me see when I couldn’t wear contacts :)

“Before” pics

I couldn’t stand my saggy jowls and the start of a Turkey neck. Plus, having a tired look all over.

You looked good before, you will look even better after! May ask your age?

You look great. Your puppy is cute too. Is it a dachshund?

I thought this was the "After" pic. You were already beautiful. I'm looking forward to seeing the after pics though. Hopefully he did't ruin your gorgeous profile!

Aw thank you so much. He did a great job on my profile—pure enhancement, not change. Thanks for the reminder. I need to post more updated pics.

it takes a year to see the long term result of the work, specially the nose. by three months people tend to like what they see but there's residual swelling for at least 9 months that effects how you look. most like the extra plumpness and that the tissue has not relaxed from surgical trauma yet. a nose takes a year to see the full refinement but by 9 months out it's at 90% where it will end up at. upper eyelids may seem too tight at first, but will relax by 6 to 9 months. the time to get worried about upper eyelids is when you can't close your eyelids. that's a problem that got to be fixed to protect the eyes
