Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

I think it's been long enough to make a judgment... still have pull lines on one side from lateral sweep and one scar around one ear is quite red, but I've been told to wait a year. I would not do this procedure with this doctor again. I probably should have spent more money for a more comprehensive lift. Hopefully time will lessen the pull. I do not recommend this doctor or mini-lifts for women over 60.

Lines from lateral sweep are still there... scars on ears are not raised, but are red. I think this was not a good mini-lift. I am reconciled to the result, but would not do this again with the same doctor the way things stand today. The sweep is not super noticeable, but part of that is the way I wear my hair (covering the lines). If I chose a shorter style, it would be much more visible. Oh well... live and learn. Don't really want to pay for a revision at this point.
Update at 7 weeks
I e mailed the Doc today with photos of the lines on the left hand side. Will see what he says. Fortunately, due to the way I wear my hair, (a bob), they are not very visible. They can really only be seen clearly in "office" light. My husband keeps reassuring me that they are barely noticeable. I have finally mustered the courage to post a photo. Will post another update after I receive his reply. It doesn't really look "radical" enough to undergo a revision surgery. I really don't want to go through that again. I have asked him if fillers might soften the line. Others have suggested ultrasound or laser, but I'd like to avoid that if possible.

Nice, personable and answered all my questions. Staff is nice and caring. So far, so good. Since I live a long way fom his office, they wanted me to stay close by so I could come in the next day. I liked the laid back non- pushy approach. I need to emphasize that if you choose anasthesia, the cost will increase.
