3 months out and I'm still pleased.
I have no regrets. I think Dr. Johl was an excellent surgeon and he's made a big improvement in my life. I think people who fall apart over less than perfect results should probably not have ever had surgery in the first place. We're imperfect beings in every way. Perfection is a fantasy that can only be achieved in Photoshop.
Mostly smooth sailing... with just a few bumps in the road.
After reading so many stories of heartbreak and...
Dr. Johl is the Ocular Plastics Surgeon provided by my HMO so I was also nervous about that. When it comes to this sort of thing it seems prudent to select someone by reputation more than availability. But I found a couple of reviews on Dr. Johl on this site and they did much to comfort me and give me confidence.
After only 2 weeks I am already singing his praises because of the wonderful work he did on me! I'm shocked at how far I've come in such a short time. I know it will take several months before I'll see the final result and I will update accordingly, but if the early progress is an indication I can tell you than I'll be more than happy with this surgery. If I decide to go ahead with the forehead lift Dr. Johl recommended, I'll for certain sure schedule the surgery with him and no one else!
I've attached a few photos so you can see the before, one week after and this past weekend. I think the reason for the quick recovery is because I was careful to follow all the Dr's instructions. I slept on my back with my head elevated and used a horseshoe travel pillow to keep my head still (still doing this), I was persistent with the ice for 3 full days, I did the hot compress for another 4 days and most of all, I got a LOT of rest.
Provider Review
Dr. Johl is very professional. He takes what he does very seriously. He is full of caution and makes the decision about how to proceed with surgery based on expectations and the realistic outcomes. He's quite somber really. I would never call him an exuberant cheerleader LOL. He was too busy watching for signs that I might not be a good candidate for surgery. The day of the surgery he was completely confident and moved with precision and delicacy. He instilled confidence in me and did as much as possible to keep me relaxed. His assistant was a dream. She was matter of fact, but gentle and kind. She and Dr. Johl have a playlist for any taste and play whatever your favorite music is during the procedure. Mine is Christian music and I was delighted to find she had several Christian playlists too. The music was a wonderful calming distraction.
