Lower facelift, blepharoplasty, lateral brow lift
I had a deep plane lower facelift, blepharoplasty and lateral brow lift with Dr. David Gilpin in April 2023- so 4 months ago. As well as a CO2 laser. Finally writing a review as I found them so helpful before I had my procedures. I am definitely happy I had all the procedures done, I look better and there is improvement. However, hoping a swelling subsides and more changes occur. It's very very subtle, which is great, but you do want some significant change for spending so much and the downtime for me was VERY long. After the swelling goes down I'm noticing things start to settle and appear less tight but still hopeful for a great result.
Office Review: amazing! Everyone ... can't say enough positive things about them. Lisa is spectacular and goes above and beyond. Every appointment pre and post op was right on time. All of my post op questions were answered promptly. They prepare you really well for the surgery day. Well run and beautiful facility.
Dr. Gilpin review: very knowledgeable and well trained. You will NOT look pulled or overdone which is so so important. You may feel he is not aggressive enough but like I said I'm hopeful. He is kind, gentle, and I think he really takes his time with all surgeries... incisions were impeccable. But I think he does error on the side of less is more.
Procedures: worth it even if I was hoping for a bit more! The brow lift I do not see much difference at all, anxious to see the before pics at 6 months. CO2 was hell for me. I am not fully healed at 4 months but I think that is just the way I heal and no fault of the doctor. Lower lift improved my jowls a ton- still swollen around the mouth- hoping to tighten. Fat transfer- extremely subtle, I'm sure I will see a difference in before and after- fingers crossed.
Complications- I had a crooked smile for about 6-8 weeks and was terrified! Dr. Gilpin assured me all would be ok and it was, fully healed. I would say the CO2 for me was a complication, I just did not do well with it.
Hope this is helpful and I will post my final review after I can really see my results and no more swelling. Hopeful if there are little tweaks to be made Dr. Gilpin will be good with it and understanding of my concerns. I'm giving Dr. Gilpin 5 stars but I'm still unsure how everything will look at that magical 6 month mark and if I will need minor tweaks to achieve my goal.
