After 15 Years I Still Look Great

Sometimes I what I would look like today if I had not had "the works" as it used to be called with Dr. Marten 15 years ago at age 47. At 47 I had bags and dark circles under my eyes. That condition has not come back and certainly would not have gone away on its own. My neck looks great. My jawline is more defined today than it was at age 47 and better even than at age 30. My upper eyelids are a little bit hollow. That's the one negative from the surgery I had to accept.
I have since seen at least six other people who have had the same surgery with him. First for me the recovery was really easy. I healed quickly. I did not have any gauze or headwrap. I did not have to take antibiotics or sleep elevated. I felt safe. Afterwards I looked better and younger and still do to this day. My scars were virtually invisible except the one under my chin. My biggest complaint is that I still have a sharp jawline and no sagging under my chin. Its unnatural as you age not to have some slip sliding going on.
I am getting some small jowls from increased skin laxity but nothing underneath is sagging. I look much younger than my three younger sisters which can be awkward. Dr. Marten's results are very long lasting.
Dr. Marten does beautiful perfect work. He is a perfectionist which is his strength and his weakness too. I think its a better fit for younger patients than older ones. I have seen a couple of older women come out looking "perfect" and looking odd for that same reason. The eye gets confused when seeing something that does not seem plausible.

Hi coral, glad you had a great expert. Can you go into the recovery process, especially the first few days? Did you need help keeping balance, help eating and drinking, getting up from bed, dressing? Just wondering how dependent I would be. Yours is one of the first reviews I've seen that said recovery wss a breeze. I would love that!

Hello, sounds like an amazing result. I'm considering him for my surgery after meeting him and really enjoying talking to him (what a lovely person) Do you have before and after photos? Even if you hide your eyes I'd love to see his talent before I decide. Thank you!
