Couldn't Be Happier with my Results!

I have wanted to get a facelift for several years, but was always nervous. I met with several doctors in Manhattan, who seemed wonderful, but overpriced. I met with several in New Jersey, but after looking at photos of their work, I felt some of them seemed "overdone" and not natural. In my research, I kept coming back to Dr. Rafizadeh. The photos of his patients always looked very natural and many people commented on his bedside manner. After meeting with him, I knew I found the right doctor for me. He immediately put me at ease and his rates were reasonable. More than a month later, I couldn't be happier with the results. I look like myself 10-15 years ago. All of my scars healed so nicely, I can barely see them. I have had several people ask me if I switched moisturizers or got some kind of new facial! I love several things about Dr. Rafizadeh. He has decades of experience, but still keeps up with all of the latest techniques. He also tailor fits his work to his patients - there is no "one size fits all" approach. He takes time to answer all questions and makes you feel at ease. Also I have to shout out his office manager, Chris, who couldn't be more lovely.

In terms of healing, obviously everyone is different. For me, I looked fine the first day, and then blew up like a balloon on day two. I stayed pretty swollen for the next week. Swelling stayed until around day nine. By two weeks, it was much less noticeable. By three weeks, I looked back to normal, just much younger! I highly recommend ordering a wedge pillow off Amazon. I slept on that for three weeks. It helps with the swelling, but also it hurt to sleep on my ears until my stitches healed. After 3 nights, I got very used to sleeping that way. Now I am back to side-sleeping on my old pillows like normal.
