Friends were impressed by how smooth my face looked

My experience with Dr. Gardner and his staff was outstanding! For a few years I had been unhappy with the sagging skin along my jaw line and on my neck, so I started researching surgical possibilities. I had used fillers and tried all kinds of treatments but none of them produced great results. A friend recommend Dr. Paul Gardner whose credentials I found to be impeccable: he is an experienced Board-certified plastic surgeon, not just a cosmetic surgeon, which means his knowledge is more extensive and his experience broader. (This also means he has done many mini face-lifts before!) Getting a consultation was easy and I was impressed by Dr. Gardner's ability to assess exactly what I did and did not want to see: he said right away I would not have the "pulled," unnatural look after my mini face lift, which is what I was worried about. My fears were assuaged, as I worried about putting my faith in the hands of a person who did not know me. But the Doctor's easy-going manner, perceptiveness, and communication reassured me completely. The procedure took about two hours and I did not even need to be anesthetized. The pain was minimal and I just took Tylenol as I do not tolerate opioid-based pain-killers. Three days after surgery I was out and about with my friends who could not believe I had just had a mini facelift - but were impressed by how smooth my face looked. Dr. Gardner and his staff have my best recommendations. Those movie stars who look unnatural (i.e. Meg Ryan, Mickey Rourke, etc.) and whose face lifts did not go as predicted should see Dr. Gardner! It's never too late!
