I think I Look 100 percent better. It is taking time to heal. I liked my doctor once I got to meet him which was the day of the surgery. I didn't lay eyes on him until then but I think he is pretty good at what he does. I am almost 58.My before photo was taken when I was 55. I weigh about the same now as I did then. You can see the difference is remarkable.

He has some very good credentials posted on his website. I did think when I called that I would be talking to him at some time before the surgery actually took place. The staff is nice and communicative in particular Nicole. My consultation took place online with photos I took and sent to Dr. Nuveen. That was a great feature, but I thought that would be followed up with an actual meeting with him and some before and after representations of what I might expect to look like and more detailed explanations of the procedures and what to expect well before the day of the surgery. I didn't get that. I did get to talk to him for awhile the day of the surgery. Before that, I talked to a nurse and all consulatation communication came from her. I think Dr. Nuveen is very busy and probably doesn't have time to spend one on one with each patient when you make that first call unless you specifically ask to speak to him personally, it isn't something they do automatically. After the surgery, I was given a sheet with his cell phone and he did call me three days at home after I had the procedure to check up on me and I truly appreciated that. The procedure was done at his facility and I had to sign papers that any revisions would cost from 500 to 1000.00 the first year and 2nd year respectively. I do expect to use Dr. Nuveen again, I think he is a very knowledgeable doctor. I think he does a very good job. However,I think I expected what I've seen on TV with plastic surgeons of why and what you want or showing you in pictures of yourself using morph technology or even in a mirror to show you what you might look like after a week or so before the actual surgery. I do appreciate hearing about him and seeing all the before and after pictures of previous patients. I hope to have a brow, forehead lift and ear lobe reduction soon after I heal from this surgery.

That seriously took 20 years off of you! I saw the after photos first and when I finally saw the before, I was honestly shocked by the transformation! Good for you!!

Thank you very much. I am so glad I had it done. I have not regretted it and I'm now going on 62. I can't imagine what I would look like by now without it.

You look fantastic. I had to laugh because the one after photo I thought was a young girl and then I realized it was you!

Dr.Nuveen is remarkable in his expertise.I look so much younger and feel so much better than I did before.I also added a minimal temporal brow lift which evened out my face. I love it! I am still healing and things just keep improving.If any of you decide to get a facelift/brow and necklift be aware that it does take time to heal and time for nerves and muscles to regenerate. Also expect some stitches to work their way to the surface and have to be removed. I only experienced one small stitch infection behind my left ear and that was cleared up with antibiotics. I can call my doctor anytime I have a worry via cellphone and if you truly want to see yourself again instead of an old person you hardly recognize in the mirror, I highly recommend Dr. Nuveen. He is truly caring and helpful in every way. I have updated the cost which covers face, neck and minimal temporal brow lift. Dr. Nuveen also did a biopsy of a growth on my chest which turned out to be benign and now is healing quite well. I am thinking about getting something done, perhaps lazer at a later date.

Thanks so much for sharing your story, silverlining! How are you doing now?

I am doing wonderfully well. I had the brow lift and it is still healing. I go back to see Dr. Nuveen in about a month. He has really been a good doctor and the change in my looks has given me more confidence. I still find myself trying to hide my neck then I remember that double chin, hanging neck isn't there anymore and I don't have to try to hide anything.. It is hard to break old habits. I would definitely do this again, and I highly recommend Dr. Nuveen.

I have added a new picture. This is me on my 58th birthday January 2013. I still haven't had my hair done but I wanted you to see me after I had my brow lift. Thanks to all of you for your encouragement. I am truly thankful for my surgeon and the surgery I finally had the courage to do.

Why haven't you had your hair done? My doctor said 4 to 6 weeks would be fine. I am on day 2,
February 15, 2013
My body rejected some of the stitches that were suppose to be self dissolving. They developed cysts around the stitches that had to be removed. My doctor said it is normal for some to have this reaction to stitches. I had to have two removed from my behind my ear and one on the top of my head. I am still very happy with the results.

Thanks...glad to hear your getting better and love your results.

Hi, I'm a fan of you. lol. I do love the new look. Your transformation is absolutely stunning. You not only look like a different woman but way much younger. I'm really really happy for you.
April 29, 2013
Thank you so much ZI, I even feel much younger and really really so much better about myself. I highly recommend anyone who is tired of not seeing themselves in the mirror anymore do something about it. I will post a picture of me when I was 17. I don't look like I did then but much more so than I did before.
April 30, 2013
I encourage you to post that picture :-]. That picture, with glasses intimidated me but when I saw your new improved look made me smile and almost said "you go girl" . I just love how your result evolved and beautifully released this gorgeous look that makes you more approachable and also I can feel you are "pushed" to believe in yourself , but more pushed to believe in how much you can achieve . It brings back the "old you", I can't express how proud of you I am, and wish you'll keep improving because YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL.
April 30, 2013
Thank you ZI, you are so sweet! I posted the picture of way back when I was 17 years old.
