Overall my experience has been excellent. I had a neck and lower face lift and even though it is only 5 weeks after surgery, I am so happy with the results. I know that I will look even better even in a few months, but this is great already! My surgeon is fantastic, and a very detailed practicioner. I had hoped that some kind of filler would help, but my neck muscles were far too lax, and only surgery could help.

I am very happy with Dr. Adbifar’s work. He is a meticulous, attentive, and caring doctor, and he and the very fine staff at his clinic provided excellent care before, during, and after the surgical procedure. He is also available after the surgery, and if there is a post-surgical issue, he will deal with it at any time. His assistant, Agata, is also extremely attentive. Before the surgery, he answered all my questions, and made sure that I had all the information I required. Of course, there is no way that a patient can foresee all the questions and possible issues that might arise during the healing process, and so when I did have questions after the initial consult as well as after the surgery, they were dealt with effectively, and my fears were put to rest. The first week following surgery was not the most pleasant week of my life. I was uncomfortable, not in great pain, but there was swelling and bruising, and I wondered if I had done the right thing. In fact, I looked like a completely different person. But now I am very happy with the results. It is now five weeks post surgery, and everything has turned out very well. I started to show my new face to family and friends two and a half weeks after the surgery, and everyone noted how good I looked. I still have a few bruises on my neck, and a bit of swelling, which is getting less every day. But now I look more like my old self, just renewed. I am extremely happy with the results and I’m very glad that I went through with it, despite my nervousness at the beginning.
