How it works
  • Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
  • This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
  • Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
  • Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.

If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

I'm scheduled to have a full face/neck lift, upper and lower eyes, a browplexy and fat grafting around my mouth.
I'm getting more scared as the time gets closer. Reviewing all the posts on real self is very helpful and supportive, but so overwhelming. I saw six different PS before deciding to go with dr. Epstein. I hope I made the right decision.

Pictures I usually don't post

This picture clearly shows my drooping neck and jowls and tired eyes. I sure hope my PS understands my concerns that I want help with.

One week from surgery!

I've been very anxious but trying to take care of myself. I'm wondering about the most effective way to start using Bromelein and Arnaci before and after surgery. I've read so many conflicting info, some that depends on what type of facial surgery you are having.

So far my consults with him has been very informative. He has given me all the time I need to ask questions. I am now 2 months post op, and for those who have followed my journey, you know because of the complications I had, it has been hard to post an non emotional review of Dr Epstein. Outside of the complications with necrotic tissue on one side of my face, I sm happy with the results. No more turkey neck or bags under my eyes! I believe Dr Epstein is a competent skilled surgeon, and he is doing everything he can to help me through this emotional healing process, and know he truly feels bad that this complication happened, so I am not going to elaborated on if or how this could have been prevented. I will update my review as I continue to feel satisfied with how the added costs of needed treatments and continued aftercare are addressed.
