Great Dr.

WORTH IT
I see so many reviews of Rhinoplasty here but not enough on his Facelifts and I think they deserve more attention. I am not brave enough to put my face on his instagram but will happily share my story and photos here. I will do a day by day for the first week and then just some random follow ups along the way.
I met a few surgeons before choosing to move forward with Dr. Kassir and I can say I was instantly comfortable with him, he is personable, intelligent and I had no doubt that I was in good hands with him.
I am not new to plastic surgery and I have done a few things to my face that would make a facelift not so easy peasy so I wanted someone with the right skills that I could trust to do the job exceptionally well. I felt that out of all of the surgeons I met he was the most prepared to help me with a complicated facelift. I also want a revision lip lift, but that will have to wait for another day and will be another story.

Surgery Day - Fell Asleep before I even knew they were putting me under, did not wake up nauseous (which I hate) I had a bit of apple sauce and I was on my way home to rest for the rest of the day.

Day 1- I did not get any sleep on my first night, I tried but it was near impossible to get comfortable sleeping upright, I just kind of floated in out of consciousness. I did buy a pillow wedge to sleep on for this procedure, I added pillows on top of the wedge for comfort and it helped me to stay upright. Will use this for the first 2 weeks.

Day 2- I did go to have my head dressing removed today and was able to see the stitches around my ears, I was so worried about having any scars but he did such a fantastic job the stitches are well hidden and imperceptible! Chewing food is a bit hard, I ate egg omelets each day for breakfast, lots of yogurt, rice pudding, veggies, beans, etc. Things that are soft to chew and I was able to get a full night sleep on day night 2.

Day 3- I am feeling a lot more energetic and I had the urge to really move about the house. Today I made my own breakfast and some cornbread for the house. Aside from the swelling and soreness I was feeling pretty good.

Day 4- I felt a lot more energetic and really had the urge to move around more. I am getting used to the wedge pillow and sleeping fine with it. I washed my hair today and used Johnson & Johnson baby soap to wash my hair. I did not rub my scalp or on the stitches of course , it is not a through clean but it feels amazing to get some of the oil out of my hair.

Day 5 - Still feeling good. Soreness around the neck and tight all over but no pain. You can see from the pics one side of my face is more swollen than the other but overall everything looks good so far.

Beautiful results for such early days. Thank you for sharing especially the day by day. As I’m booked in for surgery next month. If I can get my funds together.
If you may advise did your doctor only perform a face lift or also eye surgery as you seem bruised around the eye area.

I had some old fat grafting lumps and scar tissue from old eyelid surgery removed from under my eye during the facelift, that is why they are more swollen.

You’re absolutely stunning! If it’s not too much trouble, would you mind sharing some before-and-after photos? I’d love to see your transformation. Also, if you don’t mind me asking, could you share how much everything cost? Thanks so much!

Did you do the endoscopic brow and midface lift?
