WORTH IT
I know it wasn’t absolutely necessary and many would argue it wasn’t at all needed! But at 52 years old, still maintaining good healthy skin elasticity, I decided to take the plunge and be proactive with my journey in aging. As we age things certainly do not typically get better.. so with that knowledge, I realized it is best to go for it now rather than wait. I did my research. I chose the best. Hands down, the choice was to see Dr. Brent Koch at Kochs Facial Plastic Surgery.

You are so right! I firmly agree about being proactive. I didn't do anything until I was 50. And, that was soon enough. Can't wait to see the full effect. Good luck!

my surgeon says earlier is better! u are proof but at 70 having surgery was also a very big improvement. so no matter the age. what matters is the expertise of the doc so research is tops! enjoy!

Can you share what the cost of your procedure was?

Still swollen as to be expected ..but starting to see Dr. Koch’s magic!

I’m not gonna lie the days after procedure were very uncomfortable. I had a full 48 hours of nausea. And oh my.. the swelling! Ice packs helped but be prepared to not recognize yourself for QUITE awhile. I was prescribed a Medrol pack to help, which did. At my follow up visit, my sutures we’re treated with a gentle ultrasound treatment to assist in expediting the healing process. Though I have been very sick in recovering.. wow! I can already see that my neck is flawless!

Have you got any stitches behind your ears as well? Or are they only in front of the ears?

Yes, hidden in the hairline.

Need to edit my previous posts.. the timeline is now over a week post surgery -not 3 days. My swelling is substantially less! I still look very puffy but feeling oh so much better! I will attempt, in detail, to trace my steps back on those days following my procedure as best I can. I know I rely on this website for real honest unbiased reviews so I want to make sure I don’t gloss over anything ..now that I am feeling ALMOST back to norma!
