Best Surgeon Ever!

I researched face/neck/brow lifts for several years, as well as what to look for in a Plastic Surgeon. I had some premature facial drooping and weight loss that gave me a very full saggy neck. I determined that for my face I wanted a deep plane facelift, and a double board certified Plastic Surgeon who operated on faces and necks only was a non-negotiable.

Google searches and social media searches led me to have several consultations with doctors who were fine, but I just didn't feel comfortable enough with them to go through with surgery. I wanted to trust my doctor and his process 100% before doing it.

After thoroughly researching and vetting Dr. Cohen I made an appointment for a consultation. I'd watched his social media for a couple months and he seemed open, realistic, and honest - in addition to doing fantastic work that didn't look "done."

From the moment I contacted his team, I felt comfortable. When my husband and I went up to meet him for the consultation we were even more impressed than we hoped we'd be -- in addition to the extreme competence and care, Dr. Cohen was honest with what I could expect and the process of healing. There was one procedure I even suggested and he said I didn't need it. There are also a couple things I asked him about that I could have done, that I wanted to wait a couple years on. There was no pressure to have these small procedures now, it was all about what I was comfortable with.

Leading up to surgery, any questions I had were answered immediately. The day of surgery, I was very nervous of course, but I felt comfortable that I was in good hands. My surgery and recovery could not have gone more smoothly. Since we traveled several hours for surgery we were in an extended stay hotel that his office recommended. He called me that evening to check on me, and we had an appointment the next morning to have the wrapping around my face removed. We returned home a few days later after my drains were removed. I returned to see him at regular intervals for stitches removal and to check my healing.

I healed very fast, some people do and some people don't. With some surgeries I have healed well, and some surgeries I haven't. With the face/neck/brow lift I was able to be seen in public without people suspecting within ten days. My pain, except for the first night, was manageable with Tylenol. Any questions or concerns I had were addressed quickly by Dr. Cohen himself (though I certainly would have trusted an answer from his great PA). When he does your surgery, you get access to him - he does not do your surgery and you never see him again. He's your doctor and he's caring for you.

It's been 4 months and I look better than I've looked in 15 years. Dr. Cohen gave me a jawline that I didn't even have when I was born! As countless friends have said "you look amazing, but you still look like YOU!"

I will continue to see Dr. Cohen for checkups every 3 months, and when I feel the time is right, I'll be scheduling an eyelid lift and a lip lift, if he thinks it's right for me. I trust him.
