I have had two consultations with Dr Reath in the last few years. He is considerate, compassionate and completely answers your questions and concerns. After saving money for years, I am a retired school teacher, tomorrow morning early, I am finally having a face and neck lift. I am very nervous and don't want to think about it. I just want to get it over with. I think everything will be fine, but I guess it is normal to worry about things like will I look fake or have odd looking ears. I will update this review when this is over. Wish me luck!

It does take a lot of courage. Thank you Wildflower. I can't believe I got the nerve to go through with it, now I don't have the nerve to look in the mirror.

Good luck to you -- you are in good hands -- Dr. Reath performed my 360 Body Lift on 7/10/18 and I couldn't be more pleased -- professional - kind - compassionate - and just plain awesome -- be sure to get plenty of rest tonight -- do not fear - you are in good hands -- I believe this so much that my son is going to see Dr. Reath about his own possible surgery and you know MOMMY's are particular when it comes to their kids. AGAIN - good luck and please do keep us all posted

Wow, it was very recently that you had your make over! How are you doing, and how are you healing?

Sorry I didn’t respond sooner I actually have a full review in here. Just follow my name I think you can find Anyway I am healing well. Swelling is part of the healing process. You will be fine. Trust and don’t stress. The swelling will go down - I go back to the amazing Dr Reath and his awesome staff tomorrow for my 6 week post op appointment- hoping to be released for full workouts

I had my neck and facelift with Dr. Reath, it was in a hospital surgery center, which I think is very important. The staff at Ft. Sanders was great and everyone was comforting and supportive. The procedure its self was not bad at all. There has been little pain. I have only had 1 and 1/2 pain pills in 3 days. There is a lot of swelling though, My neck is exceptionally swollen in the front under my chin and down along the collar bone. I am worried about what my neck will look like and I am afraid to look in the mirror.

My stitches have been removed. I'm doing great. Still some swelling in my neck but its going away quickly. I'm pretty amazed by only having to take 1 and 1/2 pain pills and only being actually down for 2 days. My incisions are healing very quickly. Not much bruising either. Dr. Reath has been wonderful.

I can't believe how good I am doing. No swelling or soreness, incisions are healed. The results are better than I even expected. When I see Dr. Reath next week I hope to have before and after pictures. How are you doing?

These are not the official before and after from the doctor's office. They are just mine from 3 weeks out. The improvement is amazing. I really didn't take a before myself. I just found a photo from 2 years ago and cropped it.
