My Journey

WORTH IT
My journey to cosmetic surgery really began as a young woman. I’ve always enjoyed and taken pride in looking my best. I wear makeup and nice clothes to enhance my appearance. Now at age 67, I thought my face looked tired, my neck, eyelids and jowls sagged. I had a few more wrinkles and age lines than before, and the compliments I received were now fewer. I promised myself as a young woman that when the time was right for me, I would regain that feeling of youth and turn back the clock a little with the help of cosmetic surgery. In early 2020, I decided that the time for me was now.

In July 2020, Dr. Samuel Lin performed a face and neck lift and upper eyelid surgery. The results were simply amazing! Dr. Lin has taken at least 10 years off my appearance. At age 67 I am now often mistaken for my early 50s. I smile every day when I look into the mirror and know that this was among the best decisions I ever made for me!

Was the pain worth the outcome? A resounding, yes! The most pain I experienced was during the first 2-3 days, but the pain medication made it comfortable and manageable. After 7 days the occasional Tylenol was enough.

Dr. Lin is an extremely talented plastic surgeon. His credentials speak volumes to this and I promise you, I did my research. Dr. Lin was patient, professional, and took time to respond to all my concerns and questions; I would not hesitate to recommend him for any of your cosmetic needs. I couldn’t be more pleased with my results.

I must also acknowledge Dr. Lin’s Administrative Assistant, Stacy Agbonifo for her outstanding and exceptional assistance throughout the administrative procedural process from booking appointments, completing paperwork, to preparing for my surgery. Her professionalism, willingness to help, and warm personality put me at ease.

I’ve had so many positive comments about my appearance and even received second glances from strangers and friends. It is wonderful to feel young again! While I told my family and closest friend about my surgery, to the rest of the world, it will be our little secret. This was made possible by the skillful surgeon, Dr. Lin and his team with my resulting “natural” looking results. As the middle child, my sisters now jokingly call me their baby sister.

Rock that new confidence, baby sister! I made the leap too, last October, so I know the joy of reclaiming that vibrance!
