Lower Facelift W/SMAS Lip Augmentation and Fat Transfer

I'd been thinking about a neck lift for a couple of years, it seemed like all of the sudden my neck and lower face got loose and I was self conscious and felt like I always looked tired. I had a couple of consultations but really felt comfortable with Dr. Dobratz; he explained everything well and made me feel comfortable. I don't know if the right word is conservative, but that is what I was looking for and Dr. Dobratz made me feel like that was what he could provide. I didn't want anything drastic. I ended up with a lower facelift, fat transfer around the orbitals of my eyes and an SMAS lip augmentation. My healing took longer than I wanted, my black eyes were stubborn and I thought my lip swelling would never subside. Dr. Dobratz assured me at each follow up and looking back at photos, it wasn't as bad as it seemed. I don't even think about it any more, really. My last follow up photos really showed the difference, worth all of it!
