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'm just starting to look into this - have thought my neck was bad but recently realized it's my whole face! Seeing an ocular guy rather than plastic surgeon - am scared of doing things to my eyes that will make them uneven or look weird....
Is it better to do this or to just bite the bullet and go full face -- I think I'm too afraid for that yet. And it seems like the down time for this is less.

November 15th update
So, I talked to a RS-recommended PS, who was marvelous (I'm going to do it! with him at the knife - gulp!). I also talked to an ophthalmologist (also RS-recommended and obviously very talented). The PS seemed to say he could do some skin tightening on the lower lids (really - not the lids but the troughs I have below my eyes). The ophthalmologist is much more conservative and would only do uppers. The O showed me the botched surgeries from other doctors that he's corrected (so, in my head I thought "well, if mine turns out bad, I'll be back"!)...
The reason I'm not going with the O is that he is in an eye center that handles lots of patients and the coordinator never called me back, and when I called she didn't really have things organized at all - I'm afraid I'd fall through the cracks after the surgery is done and they have their money. The PS staff, on the other hand, are in their own suite and are much more involved (or so it seemed) with the patients and the recovery process. The price quoted for both doctors was just under $5k. The surgery times - the O doctor - 30 minutes, the PS - 60 minutes. Both quoted for NOT full anesthesia. I'm not a fan of getting put under (ha - I'll hold off until I do my neck/face!)... so this is a huge plus for me. I'll update after I talk to the coordinator tomorrow.... I'm going to get it done, I think, on Dec 7th. They said recoveries vary, but 1-2 weeks, back at work.. so I figure by Christmas I won't be completely hideous any more...
Date is on the calendar - December 7th
Ok, so I'm going to jump in. I'm really nervous/scared because I know what "could" happen - you see all the perfect pictures and then the disaster pictures... but, looking in the mirror, and feeling like you look older than the people 10 years older than you.... it's time to take action.
I'll keep you posted...

Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
5720 Oberlin Dr., San Diego, California
He knows what he is doing. No nonsense, and his staff is wonderful. Not as much follow-up as expected, however, he was always available to answer questions.
