Neck Looked 30 Years Older Than my Face! Oceanside, CA

I moved to North County SD from the SF bay area 10 months ago and I'm so happy I've found Dr. Park and his staff at North Coast Plastic Surgery!

I've been doing Botox and fillers for about 15 years now. I've always felt my face looked much better than most my peers at 46 years old. The same could not be said about my neck. Unfortunately, I inherited bad neck skin from my mother's side of the family...prematurely wrinkled and crepey. I researched and was discouraged to find that most laser treatments aren't effective on neck skin. The best results would have to come from a neck lift.

After reading the great reviews on Dr. Park, I decided to visit him for an under eye lift and neck lift consultation. Dr. Park's office walls are filled with degrees, certificates, awards, thank you letters, and signed pictures of prestigious looking military personnel. Obviously this is a highly accomplished surgeon with a very distinguished and decorated career. I'm assuming that he is going to be a bit pretentious, use lots medical jargon that I won't understand, and be completely annoyed at the list of questions I'm about to ask. I was totally wrong. Dr. Park is down to earth, laid back and friendly. I didn't feel rushed or pressured. Dr. Park was honest with me and told me that he didn't think I was quite ready for an eye lift, but was a perfect candidate for a neck lift. He also suggested chin liposuction to compliment the neck lift. I was scheduled for surgery two weeks later.

In pre-op, as Dr. Park was marking me up, he suggested that I lipo my lower cheek area, since I had quite a bit of fullness. I was hesitant, not sure I really needed it, and Dr. Park said no pressure, totally up to you, but I think it would look nice. I trusted Dr.Park's professional opinion and agreed to it. I'm so glad I did! My before and after pictures are amazing and I can see where I looked a bit 'jowley' before. I've had several people ask me if I've lost weight!

My first week of recovery was pretty easy. The second week of healing was a bit harder for me, but I also stopped taking the pain meds because I went back to work. The stitches behind my ears and staples at my hair line were completely hidden. I'm 4 weeks out from surgery and I'm looking better every day. I'm still having some numbness around my ears, and some areas still healing in the hairline, but there are no scars around or behind my ears where the stitches were.

I've also had Dr. Park inject my crows feet and frown lines with Xeomin (botox). Dr. Park is the first doctor I've had that did not leave me bruised around the injection areas. He painstakingly took the time to go around each little nest of blood vessels I have around my eyes as not to hit any. I've never had any doctor do that or even comment to me that I had unique nests of blood vessels around my eyes. Which explains why I was always left with bruises before!

Dr. Park and his staff are all very professional, kind, and accommodating. I plan on seeing Dr. Park in the future for my eye lift and breast reduction surgery. I trust Dr. Park and am confident in his work and his staff. I have no plans to go anywhere else except for back in time with the help of Dr. Park's amazing work...I've found my fountain of youth! :)
