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.

56 year old white male, 5'10", 175 lbs. Surgery is tomorrow morning under IV sedation. I'm a bit nervous, but ready to do this. I've posted front view and profile view before photos. I'll post progress updates throughout the recovery process. My main area of concern is my droopy cheeks, which have resulted in very prominent nasolabial folds.
Day after surgery
All went well yesterday, the day of surgery. I had my bandages and drains removed this morning. I've had no pain or discomfort of any kind, although I look a little freakish. But hey, it's only 24 hours since I got out of surgery, so I guess that's to be expected.
7 days post-op
This is what one week out looks like. Still a lot of residual under eye and cheek swelling, which I assume will improve a good deal in the next week or two. A couple of things I don't want to change at all are the absence of jowls and heavy nasolabial folds. Let's hope they're gone for good.
I experienced only very minor, early discomfort and almost no bruising from all this. I think I'm healing well. The discoloration under my eyes is from the chemical peel, where there seems to be a lot of peeling left to do.

Provider Review
Dr. Boutros has been very open and forthcoming during the consultation and pre-op process. Only time will tell for sure, but I have a great deal of confidence in him going into surgery.
