It is with a heavy heart that I am finally writing this review. I went through what others have gone through for a facelift: guilt of burdening a family member for a few days, as well as wiping out my entire savings account and then some; pain; loss of weeks of activity time during recovery, etc...all for no results. I had the facelift in July of 2021. A couple months later I raised concerns to Dr. Goldman that I looked exactly the same as before the surgery. People who did not know that I had the procedure (like coworkers) never made a comment that I look different. No one noticed anything because there wasn't anything to notice. My friends who knew I had the procedure done said that I look exactly the same. After several months of communicating my concerns with a very heavy-heart to Dr. Goldman, in February of 2022, I asked for a refund so that I could have it redone elsewhere. Dr. Goldman said he would redo it for free. But obviously at this point, I had lost all personal and professional trust and confidence. He said he would refund me $1500. I said I need it redone and need my money back to do so. In March of 2022, he sent me a check for $4000. My procedure was 16,000, the most expensive in this area.
It was such a huge decision to do this procedure and so devastating with the horrible end results.
Please do not choose Dr. Steven Goldman for a facelift.

I have a heavy heart for you too!! So sorry it didn't turn out well! The doctor admitted his guilt when he returned some of your money, I agree he should have returned it all!!

So sorry you didn't get what you were hoping for either!! I feel your pain as the same happened to me. I admit that my jowls aren't as bad, but once all the swelling went down most of my wrinkles came back. Dr. Adam Becker in Raleigh, NC had said I would see him for one year and my next visit they would take pictures. But at my last visit in 12/23 no pictures were taken and another visit wasn't scheduled. I should have continued to see him through 5/24. As I said, he wanted more money and still no guarantee that another 5K would make that much of a difference.

I am sorry you had a bad experience too! It is quite a blow; both emotionally and financially!

I’m sorry you had such disappointing results. As you say the expense and time off is massive and so invasive. No one would sign up for all that and scarring for no results. I’m worried about this for me as I too have wiped out my savings to afford my procedure in two weeks and it does worry me that my doctor is relatively cheap considering it is a big procedure that I’m booked for (FL) I certainly expect the results to last at least 10 years. I’m not doing this again. I’m so unhappy with my jowls I don’t ever want them back again.
