I look much better, but nobody has noticed the change

An Update:

The results are phenomenal. I am still utterly thrilled with Dr. Wittenberg’s exquisite work. Also, I am grateful to the entire team every day for the effort and care they took achieve these results.

Dr. Wittenberg and his team are simply the best. This was my third surgery with Dr. Wittenberg. Everyone on Dr. Wittenberg’s team is absolutely stellar. You will find more info about the incredible team later on in the review. In this way, I think this review will be easier to understand for the reader.
Over a year before the surgery, I began conducting research to find the best surgeon in the world for this procedure. It quickly became clear, that this surgeon is Dr. Wittenberg. I was willing to fly anywhere in the world for the best surgeon for this type of surgery. It turns out he is located in Vancouver, Canada. I was also delighted because after two previous ideal surgical outcomes with him, I was confident this surgery would be yet another success.
Consultation:
Dr. Wittenberg has excellent bedside manner. At the consultation, we discussed my goals and concerns about the procedure.
I think it is also very important to note that I asked Dr. Wittenberg about a different procedure in addition to the augmentation. He quickly discouraged me. It is obvious that wants the best for his patients; and is dedicated to his craft. It is also obvious, that he is unconcerned with potential earnings from unnecessary procedures.
I have tremendous respect and admiration for Dr. Wittenberg and his work.
Surgery
Dr. Wittenberg saw me before the surgery. He spoke with me about what would happen and it really put me at ease. I appreciated seeing him before the surgery because it calmed me down; and gave me a chance to ask any remaining questions.
The surgery was performed under general anesthesia. I knew I was in very good hands, so wasn’t worried about this. My previous surgeries with Dr. Wittenberg were also performed under general anesthesia; and he did a fabulous job preparing me for what to expect.
Recovery
The recovery was as expected. It’s not the easiest recovery, but that’s the nature of the procedure. You must eat a liquid diet for a couple of weeks. Also, my swelling was asymmetrical. Apparently this is very common. It’s essentially to remain calm and be patient. Everything sorted itself out, but it was a bit worrying at the time. Patience is key.
I generally have a positive attitude; and found this helped with the recovery. The office staff was very helpful (see below). It is crucial to keep the incision sites very clean, and follow the instructions. I did this and had no problems. Food tastes incredible after a few weeks on a liquid diet!
The Team
The office team is outstanding! You really couldn’t ask for more. From day one, everyone at the office has been so, kind, professional, knowledgeable, understanding and wonderful. We’re talking about a team of superstars.
From the day I called to set up the consultation onwards, Kathryn has been amazing. She is always so kind, professional and hardworking. She is proactive and has a delightful personality; which even shines through over the phone. Plus, she always goes the extra mile, which I really appreciate.
Sarah has been at the office since my first surgery. She is incredibly knowledgeable and has a way of putting you at ease. This is such a relief before a major surgery! It was also such a relief to wake up and see her again.
Following the surgery, I called a couple of times during recovery because I was unsure about things. There is not much information about this procedure on the internet. Both Kathryn and Sarah were always so patient and kind during the calls. Sarah has a vast amount of knowledge about these procedures. She knows them back to front; and was able to provide immensely helpful advice. The knowledge, that she shared, made the recovery so much more relaxing.
Mikaela was always very helpful and caring at all appointments.
Candice is wonderful too. Her experience is palpable, so you know you’re in great hands. I really appreciate her sense of humour. She has a knack for making you smile and laugh, even when you’re doing something mildly unpleasant. Also, a friendly touch on your arm, when you’re getting an injection makes all the difference in the world.
Results
I look like a more beautiful version of myself. Dr. Wittenberg’s work is gorgeous. His ability to to interpret what I wanted, although I couldn’t articulate it, was phenomenal. He knows what is beautiful on a woman’s face (on a man’s face too, but that was irrelevant to me); and what will make an individual’s face more beautiful. Following the second surgery with Dr. Wittenberg, I worked internationally as a fashion model. So, he had already improved my face considerably before this surgery.
Following the augmentation, I look much better, but nobody has noticed the change. It’s so natural, subtle and perfect for my face! I think it’s absolutely key for the patient to have realistic expectations. I did; and I am beyond thrilled with the results.
If I were to wake up with amnesia, I would not notice the surgery (in terms of physical sensation). To me, nothing feels different than before. This is a relief, as I know there are nerves, that only an expert can avoid damaging.
Some reviewers were concerned about the veracity of reviews without photos. I value my privacy, so will not post photos. However, I can assure you that I am a real patient. Hopefully you found this review helpful.
Overall from start to finish, Dr. Wittenberg and his team have exceeded my expectations. I am eternally grateful to them and enamoured with my face, thanks to their hard work. As noted in the introduction, Dr. Wittenberg and his team are simply the best.
