WORTH IT
Photo update from visit 19 days after surgery. Hardly had any bruising at all with this procedure, swelling significantly decreased after 10 days. Stopped taking supplements at one week. Sutures came out around 1 week.

Wonderful Experience
I had a deep-plane ponytail/mini-lift with Dr. Malone and couldn't be happier with my experience or my results.
First off, She and her staff were so caring and friendly and AVAILABLE; they made every step of this so easy and comfortable.
The consultation - Dr. Malone was thorough and took her time listening to what I wanted to accomplish and then assessing whether or not i'd be a good candidate for the procedure. I extra appreciated that the number her administrator Riley quoted for the cost of this procedure included EVERY SINGLE THING I would need from that day forward, even the supplements she gave me in preparation for my surgery! I’m not wealthy and it gave me such peace of mind that there wouldn’t be any surprise follow-up costs I would have to scrape together at the last minute.
The prep- I was an out-of-town patient and Riley was so friendly and helpful in getting me set up and accommodated for the surgery and post-op stay in La Jolla. (Icing on the cake is that La Jolla was an ideal place to have some down time and recover. Quiet, beautiful beach town with very affordable hotels)
The surgery - Dr. Malone made me feel so at ease. I originally found her through publications and her experience in this deep plane mini technique that not many surgeons know how to do. (I recently learned that her former practice in NYC is where celebrities and even surgeons themselves have been flying to get their own facelifts for the past decade) So I knew going in that I could trust her to deliver an amazing result. But I was truly surprised by how nice and caring her manner was, she gave me her personal cell phone number in case I had questions during recovery (I did! And she was really good at letting me text her a photo and calling me right back). Honestly I am such a chicken and she really went out of her way to make me feel comfortable and cared for every step of surgery and recovery.
The results- My jawline is so smooth, my cheeks are higher and fuller, and the jowls I came in complaining about are basically gone. And the scars are hidden inside/behind my ears and in my hairline Where no one will ever see them or know I had this done.
Really very happy and grateful for Dr. Malone.

Thank you for your detailed review. Can I ask you the cost? Would you be able to post pictures?
Okay, I think I've figured out that you provided the detailed review and the pics in two separate posts. Could you also tell us the cost?
Did you have any other procedures done between the before and after photos?
