WORTH IT$10,000

After several years of using Botox and various facial fillers, I decided to look into the prospect of having a facelift and have been researching plastic surgeons in the St. Louis area. Dr. Mark Boschert at Renaissance Plastic Surgery in St. Peter’s, Missouri came highly recommended. After talking to several practices I have decided that I trust Dr. Boschert with my mini facelift/necklift and fat transfer to my temples. He is exceptionally easy to talk to - clearly and completely answers all questions that I have had. His staff is caring and welcoming each time I have been in the office. I will have my pre op appointment at the end of October with surgery scheduled for the middle of November. I will keep you up to date!

Wow thats,great! I definately will follow you. Love the idea of the fat transfer to temples. I haven't seen that on here yet, but I need that too along with a face lift. Good luck. You'll do great!

Thanks - he says that it will do well and last quite a long time. You are using your own cells which is better than a filler

Wishing you all the best with your surgery! Can you please tell what the fat transfer to temples will do? thank you

Hi my doctor says the fat will fill out the hollows in my temples. Make it fuller. Some of the fat will be reabsorbed but what stays is supposed to generate more of your own cells.

I see. I asked because I did not notice any hollows in your temples in the pictures you provide. Looking forward to following your story!

Preparing for my procedure....

marcogirl8September 15, 2016

In preparation for my procedure and included in the price of the surgery, Renaissance schedules a microdermabrasion treatment and the use of ZO Skin Health/Obagi products including Retin a. They want to prepare your skin and make sure it is in great condition prior to the surgery. I have been using them for a week now - although my skin is getting a bit flaky from the Retin a - and I love them. A sunscreen is included - which I have always neglected to put on daily. I will also have an additional microdermabrasion treatment six weeks after my surgery and the day after my surgery I will have an Obagi Blue Peel.

That makes sense that the doctor wants your skin in excellent condition prior to surgery. I've always wanted to try a microdermabrasion treatment. Can't wait to see all your results. When is your actual surgery date?

The dermabrasion was very easy and made my face feel really good! My actual surgery is on November 16 with my prep on October 27.

Oh it's nice to hear that the dermabrasion was an easy procedure. I have input your surgery date so you'll now have a countdown each time you update your review. ;)

Gathering my supplies that I will need post op....

marcogirl8September 30, 2016

I have been reading and reading about what I need to have post op - especially those foods to avoid and those to eat to help with bruising and swelling. Any good advice out there about things I should really make sure to have? And what about a wedge pillow? Do I need one? Where is the best place to purchase? Thanks for your advice!
