WOW! The Difference a Few Months Can Make!!!! LOVE the "LITE LIFT", Love the Surgeon!Orange County, CA

ORIGINAL POST

Don't have room to express everything here, but...

WORTH IT$12,000
Don't have room to express everything here, but the long and the short of it is, so glad to have taken the plunge and had the procedure! It has made a huge difference in my outlook and my self image. I was feeling older than my years, and now I feel like I feel on the inside (as everyone says). Ask me any questions you would like, because I asked many questions on this site, and it helped me immensely. We have to stick together! I had several procedures with the Lite Lift. The Lite Lift is NOT the Lifestyle Lift...don't get it confused. It is a procedure developed by my plastic surgeon and his partner. They are top notch, and I have received nothing but the best medical care all the way through. I would HIGHLY recommend the procedure but do your homework and know everything to expect!!!

Every time I walked by the mirror, I would lift the sides of my face up and say, "Oh, if I could just lift this part up, I would look so much better!" I then started researching doctors in my area, and found the Pacific Center for Plastic Surgery. I read that they had developed a procedure called the "Lite Lift" which was an easier procedure than a regular facelift with a much faster recovery time. I went in to their office at least 4 times over the next year, I also attended one of their wonderful informational brunches. First, I scheduled an upper and lower eye lift. After having that and being very happy, one year later, I went in and again met with Dr. Nichter and discussed doing the Lite Lift and some other procedures as well. I ended up having the Lite Lift, the Corset Platysmaplasty (neck lift) and a temple brow lift. Dr. Nichter is a top notch plastic surgeon who has had many years of reconstructive and plastic surgery experience. He is a perfectionist and demands the same from his anesthesiologists and staff. He takes great care in the outcome of his surgeries and follows up on his patients as they heal. I can not say enough about him. He is wonderful! I went into the procedure with the confidence in his skill that I needed to go through with this procedure. I am so happy that I did! Any surgery recovers healing time and everyone is different in that process. However, I am thrilled with the big difference in my appearance and wanted to share this in order to help others in their decision making process as others did on this site for me. Choosing the best doctor is essential, and I can most hardily endorse Dr. Nichter, his surgical skills and the Lite Lift!

What anesthesia for eyes. Then what used in face/neck/brow? Where are brow lift incisions and how many and was it used because you didn't get sufficient lateral lift from blephs alone? tks, grace
General for quad bleph...had fat grafting below eyes too. IV sedation for Lite Lift etc. Lateral brow lift had two incisions.....I had very heavy hooding on upper lid, so every surgeon I had consulted with suggested the lateral brow. Just think it was my particular anatomy but lots of women need it. It just opens up the eye more. Hope this helps!
The brow incisions were then IN the hair or in front and what is/was the level of numbness. Do you know if an endoscope was used?
The brow incisions were in the hairline. I don't think an endoscope was used, but am not sure. I don't remember it being particularly numb, but it was probably a bit. That was the least of my healing issues. I did have a bit of bruising over the outside upper corner of one eye though. I bruise quite easily though.

Beautiful results! Thank you so much for sharing and for being open to answering questions.

You look fabulous! Congrats XO
Thanks so much!
Wow you look great at least 10 years younger, can I ask where stitches go for a lite lift? Thank you for sharing.
Wow I think you look 20 years younger. Gorgeous outcome.
Thanks so much! I always felt that way on the inside!
