I Wouldn't Let my Friends Go to Anyone else
I really don't care about bedside manner in a surgeon - I want someone with skilled hands. What a delight to get a highly skilled surgeon with a five star personality, all in one.
Dr. Dino immediately identified what my previous surgeon had not: my double chin was not an issue of fat, but rather over-sized glands. He recommended a short scar neck lift which is really more of a gland shave down than removal of any excess skin. He talked me out of a chin implant as well, taking the time to illustrate with measurements and diagrams over my photos what his trained eye saw at a glance. He felt the one surgery would do enough to give me the properly pronounced and proportionate chin I desired. See for yourself in the pics, but I believe he was absolutely correct.
How do I describe Dr. Dino? Calm, measured, and smart, but also laughs at my subtle humor and jabs back, appropriately. His office is gorgeously chic in a cold sleek way, but he carries absolutely zero pretension.
Am I happy with my surgery? Absolutely. I appreciate most that he properly set expectations around my results, identifying that I would have less fat to act as padding (think a thinner skin look) due to previous neck/chin lipo. Lipo had been the wrong procedure for what I needed - if only I had gone to him first. *sigh*
I can easily and enthusiastically recommend Dr. Dino to any and all. When the day comes many years from today, I hope he is still around to give me my full face lift.

My scars aren't noticeable at all. I have another smaller scar on my chin from falling on ice as a child that stands out more than the much longer cut that he did which blends right into my skin.
I did not have much of a "gobble" before the procedure and don't notice any lax skin now. You should talk to him about that at your consult because it's not something I needed to bring up. He will be honest with you.
