How are your incisions healing? Thank you for the review!
July 22, 2017
Pretty well I think, can't really see them. They were uncomfortably tight for the first week but think that's probably normal.
July 22, 2017
Thanks. It would be great to see some photos of them if you don't mind sharing.

Hi Forigner61. I hope you are continuing to have a good recovery. I am also having my eyes done with a ckeek lift at the same time as my lipo. Please let us all know how your revcovery is going . how are the scars behind the ears. and do you have the numbing sensation yet .
August 3, 2017
Hi Bronte123, l m continuing to have a good recovery. I am still a bit numb and the scars behind my ears are finally starting to really heal. They don't look so red and angry anymore. Still very green / yellow under the chin from the lipo. At first this area felt very soft but it has gone hard and uneven, which apparently is normal. I can tell the hard uneven area is getting smaller though. I have to admit that l am not very patient generally, so l am fed up already, even though logic says it's a small amount of time compared to other surgeons recovery periods... Neck looks amazing. Keep comparing it to my much younger customers and guess what, think many times mine looks better. It's definitely going to be worth it when it's totally healed. Sure you will be very happy with the additional areas you are having done :-)

HI Forigner 61 I get very confused with the comments on this site as sometimes you can't find them. I have just realised that I have repeated myself to you. Just on the son thing I know what you mean as my son and daughter and young friends all say you don't need it. When I was their age I think I said the same. Time changes things. This time I chose Light sedation as couldn't cope with being awake with my eyes being messed with. Proved to be a good decision and worth the extra money on this occasion.
October 25, 2017
Super, are you happy with the results? Not sure if l would want to go through that again, even though it was definitely worth it. I think you are very brave.

Hi ,well so far only a week in but I must say the concept lift was a breeze compared to the first few days of this time. I think I am happy with the lipo and not much bruising but with having the skin tightened it meant more cuts around the ear so a lot of tender nerve pain. I had healed beautifully with no scars.So wished I had done the lipo at the time with the face lift. With regard to my eyes and cheek lift ,to be honest I am worried about the result as it is not looking as good as I expected. and I hope I just have to be patient and hope it settles into shape. I do have lumps and bruising from the cheek lift and feel my eyes look smaller and pulled down at the side. But there is still swelling and only a week since having it done. I am so pleased I paid extra for light sedation this time. especially with my eyes .I will let you know in another week how it is going. Fingers crossed.
October 27, 2017
It is now three months since your last comment on your lift how are you now ?
November 20, 2017
I was wondering how it went. I'm doing lipo as well in January. Did you find the cuts around your ears the same or worse? Im worried about that because you can't see any scars at all right now. Was thinking maybe leave well enough alone. Would appreciate your advice o how it went for you. Thanks

Hi Ana3210 I had the lipo on 19th October and I had very little bruising then about 1 week after I started to get lumps in a line.under the chin . I massage these and now on the 27th November they are a lot better but not gone yet. The stitches were fine but are still a little red. Like you all were completley gone after the neck and face lift. I am pleased it is now done as my chin profile is so much sharper . I do believe it may be another couple of months before the lumps are all gone and my chin is smooth. Hope that helps.
November 28, 2017
Hi Bronte, getting better every day, although it is taking longer than l imagined. To be fair though Amir did say upto 9 months for everything to settle and get back to normal. I had a lot of numbness but the area is getting smaller. I remember being a little bit freaked out at the lumps and bumps around the outer cheek area but this does subside, so don't worry. You know is is quite a traumatic event for the face, so there is bound to be some reaction. It will all settle down and the results will speak for themselves:-) I'm sure you are already getting a few comments, I've seen your photos and you look great!!
November 30, 2017
Actually no one seems to have noticed except for the ones I told so, I guess that is good as it is natural.they just comment how great I look for my age. I can see a huge difference and I feel I look 10 years younger. so very happy with the result.
January 29, 2018
Good morning. Your results look lovely. How are you now. Several ladies have had to have revisions including myself
January 29, 2018
hi elizabetho5 I was just wondering what reasons you were given as to why you needed revision surgery following you procedure? I am considering this surgeon but having some doubts.
February 1, 2018
My neck is excellent ,my chin now after 3 months is very good, however I still have a bit of uneven lump under the chin which is not noticeable but I can feel it and continue to massage. According to Amir it can take up to a year to totally go. I do have a tight jawline and neck so very happy with the result. Regarding my eyes I was worried mostly about the cheek lift as the operation involved lifting the skin onto the bone at the corner of the eye. This was swollen and very red under the eye for at least 2 months, it is okay now but I do get the nerve healing tingling which will take about six months .I was disappointed with my upper eyes and really coudn't tell I had had them done apart from them drooping a bit on each corner. Amir has agreed to redo the upper lids. I have decided to wait a few months to let everything settle down. Generally I do not have any regrets The strange thing is that unless I have told anyone , all my friends and acquaintances have not noticed ,just say how great I look. I will post photos soon.
February 1, 2018
I did not say that with havig the lipo ,I had to have another small lift to tighten the skin which involved cutting behind the ears again. I am still healing with the nerves tingling ,but the scars have healed really well behind the ears. After six months after the concept lift, I was totally healed , so am having to go throught it all again as I didn;t have lipo with the lift. That was a big mistake on my part. I so wished I had listened to Amir's recommendation..
February 1, 2018
Hi elizabeth5 Can you tell us about your revision, as I will be having my upper eyes redone as well..
October 23, 2017
An amazing outcome
October 25, 2017
Thanks, I'm happy. He's a great surgeon

Getting better everyday

Foreigner61
I read a comment on rs that said you hardly see any follow ups for this doctor. Here's one 8 days after op.

I have no real pain anymore. Just tightness and still some swelling and a couple of funny bumps under the skin, which l presume is fluid and stitches that will eventually dissolve. I'm not sure if I'm just one of the lucky ones or if it's the work of this wonderful Doctor, bit of both l think! Anyway, it's been easier than l thought it would, touch wood!!

Hi Forigner 61 I also had the concept face and neck lift with Amir in April. However I was recommended to have the lipo under my chin and I decided not to because of the bruising and downtime. I really regret it so Amir is going to do it in October. He will then have to tighten the skin so I have to go through more cuts at the bottom of my ear. I so wished I had taken his advise. I am now three month's and everything is healing well in fact apart from the numbing in front of my ears which is improving I forget I had anything done. I woud like a bit of information from you if possible on what to expect from having the lipo done as without it it was so easy. I am going on holiday 5 weeks after having it done so need to be sure all bruising has gone.I hope you will be as happy as I am with your result. It looks amazing so far.x
July 26, 2017
Hi Bronte123 I was wondering if your Dr advised to do the whole lift again or just the lipo with small cuts. I'm having the same issue and the dr said after 6 months we could repeat the lift not sure I want to go through that again. Want the area under the chin a little tighter not sure the best route.
August 5, 2017
Hi Ana 3210 No Amir just said he would include a tightening of the skin as after the lipo the skin will be a little slack in that area.. My understanding is that I will not need further treatment of the muscle. He said just a small incision round the bottom lobe to tighten the skin. Hope that helps .
July 21, 2017
Hi, I am glad you are no longer feeling any pain. Everything should be starting to settle down properly now and it will just continue to get better each week! In terms of follow up appointments, we usually schedule one for 1 week post op and sometimes another one at 6 weeks post op, however, this is not always necessary if you are healing well. The clinic is however only at the end of the phone and email if you should ever wish to come in for a review appointment I would be more than happy to see you.
July 22, 2017
Hi Amir and team, Well the way l have been recovering hopefully l won't need a follow up appointment, but thank you for being available by phone or email should l have any questions. Very nice that you thoroughly support your patients.
July 21, 2017
Hi bronte123, I did hope that l wouldn't need the lipo because l knew the bruising would be much worse. At the Skype consultation Amir told me that he would know when he saw me if l needed to do this. I decided to take his advice and on the day of the op he told me that l had a little roll of fat under my chin and if we just tightened the skin, it would in fact be more prominent. He's the expert, so I went with his suggestion. The injections were so good l really didn't feel much, just the way this suction rod goes in/out seems quite brutal, l was glad when it was over even though It only took about 5 minutes. It was worth it. I honestly don't have such a problem with the bruising, the tightness and healing of the incisions was more uncomfortable, e.g. The light crusting around the wounds. My earlobes were like 2 grapes and the swelling was really uncomfortable there, but every day better. My son was so shocked when he saw me, after 6 days, l think that was the only time l thought, what have l done. It was the swelling that freaked him out. I explained to him that l was unhappy with so much loose skin around my neck. He said "so". and l don't want you to do things like that!! Now the swelling has gone down even more he's ok with it. 5 weeks will be more than enough time for the bruising to go down before your holiday. I went directly to meet my hubby and son on holiday. I stayed out of the sun and water because l want this journey to stay problem free if possible. I will post another photo of where l had the lipo. The whole area under my chin was bruised and sore, but like l said not the worst for me. The bruised area seems to be smaller every day when l awake. And a concealer stick from boots worked wonders. I think your photos look great too, and l don't think you need it, but you have to do what makes you happy. So good luck for October :-)
October 25, 2017
You look fabulous! Hope you post Amir’s information. I might be the only one who doesn’t know where he is located?!
October 25, 2017
He's in Royal Tunbridge Wells about 40 miles south of London
