Keep your before pictures
WORTH IT$6,900
As time passes the effect is softening. I occasionally panic thinking that nothing changed. I now know to go back to my "before" pictures when I lose track of what happened. It is an insidious tendency to lose track of how different I look. I actually have to consciously fight the drift.
I suspect that this is not unusual and that those who don't check the facts, but rely on that warped inner critic are the same women who find themselves on the neurotic road of constant dissatisfaction and ever increasing surgeries.

Note that I changed the time error I made about time in surgery
Now the original document gives the correct time the surgery took. 45 minutes on each side.

I just saw Dr. Pontell this week, and I told him about this amazing review. I think your review alone will double his business....although I know he is already plenty busy.

Truthfully, I cannot think of any better outcome both for him and for his patients and patients to be. Thanks Dana.

Wow…Thanks for "showing the scariest" part. It helps give others a different perspective of what a facelift is somewhat like….if you know what I mean. I thought that was pretty neat for some reason

Me too and people almost never show that stuff up close so I thought it was important. Thanks for your comment.

Go for it. It changes everything...assuming you are already basically happy with your life.

Dr. Pontell is getting a call Monday! I really appreciate your detailed review and photos! I'm late middle aged with a turkey neck that is very aging. I'm just west of Media.

Sorry it took so long to answer. The turkey neck thing is really what pushed me over the edge too. For that, in particular, this is an amazing solution.

Hello- you look great! I'm confused though. I found this under "mini lift" and I see that you have stitches and staples in the back of your neck- that makes me think it was a full lift including neck. The reason I ask is I'm considering a mini and want to determine how results will look. Thanks!

Hi Avat, This is absolutely a "mini-facelift" as Dr Pontell does it. Yes, he did some drastic work on my neck and jowls, dear man, but this is his version of a min facelift. Did you read the various versions of a mini as understood by other Docs in my review?
I learned the hard way that you get what you pay for, and the length of the results vary widely. Since I had had a previous procedure where they only removed skin, I quickly learned that it is a short lived event.

Just found these photos and they really tell the whole story
Before and After (also with Botox in forehead)
Wow, I didn't really realize how dramatic it is till I found these two photos that are so much alike...except the faces.
