Dr. Gould - Pronounced Gold? Good? God? All of the Above!

WORTH IT
I was really nervous and rather exhausted to go in for yet another consultation (I had MANY, which left me with greater hesitance) to correct a previous blepharoplasty I had with another surgeon 2 years prior that left me unsatisfied with exacerbated asymmetry and lower brows, but since I was referred by a family friend to Dr. Gould, I chose to consult with him (not to mention that I was tired of hiding). Dr. Gould listened to my concerns and my wishes. It was a lengthy consultation; he really afforded me undivided attention thoroughly explaining his surgical techniques. Dr. Gould has a calm demeanor, which put me at ease and made me feel safe. Dr. Gould is a board-certified plastic surgeon and has a Ph.D. so he is also a scientist, which results in matchless efficacy. The depth and quality of information he provided left me feeling so assured, I was confident I was in good hands and scheduled my surgery that very day to correct my dissatisfaction; I went with a full facelift.
Post-Surgery:
Simply the BEST. I didn’t have any pain and minimal bruising. Dr. Gould is evidently skilled! He is professional and yet personable. The significant time and care that Dr. Gould dedicates to his patients AFTER surgery is truly immeasurable. I am genuinely in disbelief that after just 3 weeks I was out and about in public settings and I know it is only going to get better. Family, friends and even strangers have commented on my younger, natural results. My self-confidence has been elevated to a whole new level that I have not felt in a long time. Dr. Gould exceeded my expectations. I’m truly, truly grateful to Dr. Gould, his wonderful staff and the family friend that referred him.

You look wonderful!! How are you feeling now? Has the numbness and swelling subsided??? I’m recuperating now 5weeks and I have the exact symptoms! I can’t wait to feel normal again.

Previous photos were 3 weeks post-op. This is now 5 weeks post-op. I
was unsure that I would be able to attend the company holiday party as it was just 5 weeks after my surgery. VOILA!!! Swelling has gone down significantly. I still have some swelling and tightness around my ears, and under my chin/neck. The sutures on my scalp have dissolved. The top of my head is still numb, but slowly getting feeling back. It goes unnoticed unless I touch my head. All is going well.

You look gorgeous! I mean your results have me wanting to go to him too. I’ve been hiding for years too. But looking at your photos - wow! You look so young but natural. Congrats…..oh btw how much was the overall cost of the surgery? Which hotel did you stay at? Do they offer any recovery stays for people traveling alone?

You look really fabulous, but I wanted to ask you about the temple area where it looks a little pinched. My plastic surgeon (Dr Harley) bunched up the stitching in that area on me (just closer to the hair line,) but assured me it would flatten out. It has been 3 years and it still looks “pulled” right there. Did your doctor tell you that that would flatten out and if so, how long would it take? I never wear my hair pulled back because of that.
Thanks for sharing your experience! Congrats on your great results :)
