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 am not a big fan of topic treatments (Botox or fillers) - but I do know that if you want permanent, long lasting change, going under the knife is the only way to go. With that said, I am not a big fan of pain, and what if I don't look like myself after the procedure? So, I put it off for a long time. Half the battle is finding the right person for the job, so I waited until I had the time to do my research. I actually came to this website first and read hours and hours of reviews and pictures. I simply wanted more definition in my short, squat neck. I could see my jowl area starting to "drag" and that was a little depressing :(
I am 47 (46 when I had this done last year), so I knew I would be doing more than neck/chin lipo.
The difference now is so subtle, which is Exactly what I wanted.. I look like I did in my 30's - and it's mostly in the jowls. Regarding the pain.. I have to admit, I looked like Frankenstein for a while (luckily my hair covered it), but there was NO pain, ZERO, NADA. I've had dental appointments that caused more pain than this procedure. Dr. Law explained why his technique is pain free but to be honest, I thought he was exaggerating. He Wasn't! It is awkward to sleep upright for about a week, but there was no pain. There was pressure and tenderness - but the worst part of it in terms of pain was getting the stitches out (but that was quick). The thing that took me by surprise was the effect of the anesthesia - (and I was warned about this in my pre-consult). I had very bad dreams and I felt depressed for about ten days after surgery. And then, just like that, it was gone (but still weird because I never get depressed). I do want to say that it does take about six months to nine month before you get the final look. For the first month, your skin is bruised, swollen, a bit odd looking, and you just have to trust that it will all work out (and it did!). I am so happy with the results, and I definitely recommend it.

I started my search here on Real Self, and read some of Dr. Law's reviews and responses to questions. I made consults with three doctors, but after meeting Dr. Law, I cancelled the other consults and booked my procedure with him. I was looking for someone with confidence, experience, and who listened to my concerns. I grew up in Miami and have seen some very bad work - so that was my biggest concern - and he has a discerning eye for beauty. He subtly changed my face - but it made a huge difference to me. His staff - from the very first person I talked to on the phone, to his P.A. to the nurses who attended to me before and after the surgery - all very professional and kind. His office is beautiful without being stuffy. It's quiet and serene and I appreciated the fact that he has his own operating facility. I was able to exit through the back, in privacy.
