Restored my confidence and took 10 years off my face

I don't remember exactly. I think around $16-17,000 total but it depends on your specific case. I wanted both the neck and jaw tightening and lipo under the chin. And if you opt for twilight anesthesia that is more expensive than local. You also have to do some extra stuff like Covid test, pre surgery screening, ekg, and get post-care supplies etc. that tacks on some extra expense, plus travel of course. But I am so much happier now, it was well worth it. I have probably spent just as much over the years on treatments that didn't give me the results I wanted, like Morpheus8, evoke, threads, Coolsculpt mini, probably forgetting something...

Thanks for sharing the info.

Thank you!

He's very talented! Thank you

Thank you! I live in LA but chose Dr. Lee because this is his specialty and I loved how natural his patients look. I also really wanted to use local anesthesia, not general, which he offers. I actually met with Dr. Lee before consulting with anybody else and really liked him and his team and just went with my gut and booked him right away. I found him though Real Self not by personal recommendation but I read through all of his reviews and comments on the reviews and the overwhelming majority of his reviews are very positive. On his Instagram I also appreciated that the after photos were "real" and not insanely filtered. The procedures I did were the FaceologyLift with liposuction of the under chin area where I had some fat. There incisions from my sideburn area hidden in the hairline then on to the inside of my ear, in the crease of my lobe then up the back of the ears and then hidden in my lower hairline on the back of my head. The procedure and recovery weren't that bad. The worst part for me was nausea for a few days due to the pain killers and IV sedation. I had drains in for two days because I had excess fluids on one side (usually the drains get taken out the next day). The swelling was really bad around day 4-5, I looked like handsome squidward. But by the time I got my stitches out a week after surgery I only really had some light yellow bruising on my neck and the residual swelling looked kind of good like I'd had fillers haha I actually missed it when it was finally gone. I drove myself to that appointment and that was fine even though you'll still have tightness at your incisions. The scabbing on the incisions was gone by the next follow up appointment at one month. So I'd say you need at least a week of serious downtime due to the stitches and swelling and pain killers (if you need them). No resuming regular exercise for 3 weeks. If you're a mom or have pets, what was hard for me was not being able to lift my toddler for a month. I'm 7 weeks out now and have some tightness/numbness at the incisions but it continues to improve. For a while I had some occasional stinging along my neck area which is from nerves healing. Sometimes my ears feel a bit sore, like if you sleep on your ear with it bent. Nothing too bad. Let me know if I forgot anything.

Thank you! :) I'm so glad I did it!

Thank you! They're still a bit red, especially behind the ears, and the one under my chin is raised a little. I saw my dermatologist this week and she said they're very well done and healing nicely. I'm a little self conscious to wear my hair up but otherwise they don't bother me. I am still diligently applying the scar cream and avoiding the sun. Nobody has noticed them, I had to point them out to my in laws :)

Just wanted to add that I went to the dermatologist for something unrelated, not because of the scars.
