Looking good. I love ur eyes. Im still healing under the skin, still tightening. Teying to get an appt for Jan.
Hope all healing well.
Hi MieGee3...I am still healing too! I have an appt. on Jan. 16th for my 6mth follow-up. I want to ask him about a revision. My neck needs more lipo and jowls and frown lines still prominent.
When did u call?
I called about 3 weeks ago.
I got appt in jan 2. When he said to come in.
oh... that is good!!Bet you cannot wait to get your chin revision.
I m still thinking about complete removal or getting a smaller implant.
Yes, I do remember you saying. I hope they come up with a good decision for you. You have been waiting long.
You look amazing. Are the fees for all the procedures or just the face lift?
Everything is included, it is done in hospital OR , w anesthesiologist, all the anesthesia, all the procedures sx done that day. All fees included for that price.
Whether u do alittle or alot.same price.
Wow that is very reasonable. I had my upper eyelids and endoscopic browlif done and paid 5k.
The fees were for all procedures.
The fees were for upper bleph, brow lift, face and neck lift. I do need a revision, though, as he needs to do more lipo on my neck and jowls. I have my 6 month checkup on Jan. 16th
Good luck with the revision.
Thanks... hope he will be able to do it!!
Your results look really nice!
Thank you, Lowerhairline!! The doc was a little conservative but I would rather it be that than too much. The residents are young at Mt. Sinai. I go back for my 6 month checkup Jan. 16th. I will be coming from PA. I will talk to him about a touchup. I am very sorry for your situation. I read your profile a few weeks ago. You had your hairline done in 2015...no change 1 year after... now that 2 years passed, has anything changed?
Hi Rochelle! Thanks for asking about my situation. Unfortunately, the results are the same. No change at all. I regret getting that surgery so much -- but I can't change the past :(

I've been following your updates, and your results are really nice. I had rhinoplasty w/ the same doctor as you @ mount sinai, and he was conservative w/ my surgery too. I wish I had gotten more done though -- but I have another appt. in Jan. I didn't post a review, but he did nice job, and it was a great experience.
Also wanted to add that, my mom loves your results too. I showed her your review and she really likes the outcome. I saw your review before I got the surgery, so I was happy to see that someone else had surgery w/ him. Please keep us posted on your January follow up.
Oh, you have been to Mt. Sinai?! Nice!! Tell your mom I said thanks for the compliment. I notice a difference in my eyes, but just a little bit on the facelift itself. I am trying not to dwell on the disappointment until Jan 16th 6 month checkup.
Yes, I had the rhinoplasty in August. Try not to be too disappointed -- you really do look nice, and thanks again for replying. January 16 is just a month away!
Awww...thanks... very nice of you to say!!
Hi Rochelle, I have some return of my marionette lines. I’m a bit disappointed in that, but I think the trade off may have been to look too tight and unnatural... hard to say. I look forward to following your journey !
Thanks for commenting suitsmefine!! Yes, maybe its hard to determine exactly how much to tighten the first time. I will find out when I go for my 6 month checkup. Did you have a 6 month checkup and if so, were your jowls showing then?
Hi Rochelle, I’ve had multiple check up visits to my doc, the latest one was Nov 3rd. We’ve discussed the marionette lines several times. He does not recommend filler as it would probably make my lower face look heavy. He thinks that if he’d pulled more to get the marionette lines tighter, that the results may have looked unnatural, and that the settling of the results should now be very minimal going forward. We shall see.

I love my upper bleph and brow lift as I had one eyebrow lower than the other. I think I need more done though on my neck, jowl and frown lines

Rochelle, do you have a picture of yourself that shows your eyes pre op and then post op? I’m wondering about the dark circles you say you’ve noticed since your surgery .
Yes, I posted before and after.
Wow, your eyes look beautiful!!!
Thank you jamierose28!! Are you getting closer to finding a surgeon?!
We leave tomorrow for sx Wednesday and wondered did you have your meds delivered to the hotel, or bedside? Thanks Mshine12345
@Mshine12345
Have ur person pick up the meds while ur in sx or get them b4. So the pharm can get it if they dont carry it on stock.
I was suffering bc l waited to fill it, pharm didnt have it, got it next day. What an inconvience.
Pharmacy must be close by...I should just look...thank goodness we’re going today instead of the am so I’ll have time to get. Thanks very much
@Mshine12345
U canstay in Recovery, until u feel able, then they take u to discharge area, u can stay there till u get ur bearings and get dressed.
I get bad rxn from anesthesia, so was in R for 6+ hrs, nausea then sat in discharge area for 1 hr, when l was able to walk and feel ok.
No I got mine PRIOR to going, did you get your scripts already? If not , have them send the scripts to your store and pick them up, The ONLY one that is important is the PAIN med.
good luck and tell whoever you are going with to NOT wait at the hospital. Too long to wait there and the dr will text when you are coming out of surgery. You then have at least several hours in recovery...
@auntmarshie
How r things going w u?
How is Dan?
I had sx 12/13 and had a horrible time with nausea! Recovery and discharge were adamant I stay until I felt better, and gave me plenty of Zofran to help! There were still quite a few in recovery at midnight. Yep, sx was at noon :). Thanks for the advice!
My husband got my scripts at Walgreens. My insurance covered them as well.
I had nausea too. The anti-nausea medicine helped me but they told me it will make you sleepy. Think that is why it took me a long time to wake up enough to go to place I was staying.
Wow, really great! I went back for a 2nd surgery and in a few years will want a 3rd...perfection seeking always. One line and I freak out.

I had such deep frown lines before. I still see them. I will ask what more can be done at my 6 month check-up.

Well, I think you look great, Regardless of frown lines!
Thank you z4resultd! I really think you look great! If my doctor isn't able to do more for me... I am really impressed with what your doctor does!!
Hi Rochelle, Thank you, it is.a huge improvement. I would have liked to have my whole face done, eyes, brow lift or whatever- but the cost was prohibiting. And now I have my daughter living in Manhattan!! She just moved there. Had I known this turn of events I may have pursued Mt. Sinai. I think that is just such a fantastic deal!! Will they give you a revision?
I will out at my 6 month checkup in January... thanks for commenting z4results! Mt Sinai is in Upper Manhatten so your daughter lives close!
meant to say...I will find out
