The surgery went perfect - couldn’t be happier with the results

I had some facial work done 25 years ago and needed a major overhaul again. I researched more than 10 surgeons and Dr. Machida had the best reviews. I sent in pics and received an evaluation so I scheduled an interview. Dr. Machida and their staff explained all they could do with a facelift and laser with realistic expectations. I scheduled my surgery and received a pre surgery appointment to go over all my questions and theirs. The surgery went perfect and I was never in any pain after…uncomfortable for a few days, but nothing close to pain. I had my 1 month checkup today and I can tell you that my neck is beautiful, my jowls are gone and the wrinkles have dissipated. I couldn’t be happier with the results. I only would have trusted a surgeon that did faces only as I think it’s an art that has to be perfected over time…Dr. Machida is exactly that surgeon. The staff was kind and professional and I’d recommend his practice STC Plastic Surgery to anyone.

These are the before and after pictures, plus a 1 year later. The after picture is approx 2 months after surgery and the 3rd one is one year later. I have no regrets and would do it again. I wasn’t interested in looking like I was 35, my interest was in not looking so haggardly and tired. Dr. Machida accomplished exactly what I was hoping for.
