Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.      
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.

Two month update

Swelling continued to decrease each week and I think I'm finally complete!

What a difference a day makes! 10 days post op

I'm at day 10 post op and had the rest of my stitches removed. I stopped the antibiotic once I found out I was allergic and it made a HUGE difference! I feel much better- hardly any pain at all. I still have some itching as I heal, but overall I am close to 100 percent. Dr Garrsion was awesome throughout the entire process and I highly recommend her. She's very laid back, which is exactly what I need because I am pretty high strung.

One week update

Went for my one week visit and had stitches around my ear taken out. I found out I do NOT have an infection after all. Dr Garrsion took one look at me and said I am allergic to the topical antibiotic. The huge rashes behind both ears (right side rash developed yesterday) were the tell-tell sign. She could see why the on call doc thought it was an infection, though, based on my symptoms and because my left ear was so swollen, you could have mistaken it for a football.
So, I'm off the topical antibiotic (gee- I was literally slathering it on about an hour ago) and back on an oral steroid. I'll continue the oral antibiotics as well.

Dr Garrison has a good bedside manner. I chose her because I trust her work. She was honest with me from the beginning and said I don't need a full facelift. We specifically discussed the areas that bothered me on my lower face (i.e. jowls). She wasn't pushy at all. In fact, it took me over a year to decide I wanted to schedule my surgery. The office was flexible and willing to work around my schedule.
