Perfect Results and No Bruising

Dr. Bernard Markowitz is a wizard- he completely transformed my appearance and my confidence. I was hesitant about getting a facelift at 72, worried I'd end up looking 'plastic,' but Dr. Markowitz is known for his attention to detail, meticulous surgical procedures, slow and his artful approach which is all about subtle, natural results. He spent over an hour in our initial consultation, discussing my concerns and expectations, reviewing pictures and explaining details. The procedure itself lasted 12 hours and went smoothly. His team has been with him for a decade and is excellent. I had no bruising whatsoever and I was surprised by how little pain there was afterwards. I only used Tylenol and only for 2 days post op. Dr. Markowitz and his team were incredibly supportive throughout recovery. It's been 6 weeks now, and I couldn't be happier. I don’t feel like a hooded owl, my dark circles are gone, all the wrinkles in my face and neck are gone. Best of all, I still look like myself - just a fresher, more vibrant version. Several friends have asked if I've lost weight or changed my skincare routine. I'm astounded every time I look in the mirror. The sagging jowls are gone, my neck is smooth, and my whole face just looks more balanced and youthful. Dr. Markowitz’s artistic eye and surgical skill have literally turned back the clock. He was initially recruited to UCLA for his exceptional skills to address congenital defects and traumatic injury and to teach medical students. We are so fortunate he also devotes some of his time to reducing the suffering of looking older than we feel. If you're considering a facelift, don't wait - and definitely try to get an appointment with this talented, kind and skilled surgeon. And what I often share with friends who question the cost- would you rather drive a new car with your old face or an older car with your new younger face? The answer was a no brainer for me.
