Before	After

Name: Joan DiBernardis
Age: 66

Procedures: Facelift, Rhinoplasty, Blepharoplasty

In July of 2008, I saw Dr. Lawrence regarding a facelift. My eyes looked tired all the time. I had the sagging jowls and deep lines around my mouth. She explained the procedure to me in depth. She was very honest in what she could do. I immediately felt comfortable with Dr. Lawrence and her staff and I scheduled my appointment. Two weeks later, I had my surgery with much success. She had a dedicated staff assisting with my surgery.

Everyone was very kind. Dr. Lawrence called me several times to see how I was doing and kept tabs on my prgress. I felt very assurred.

I am happy that I had the procedure. I look and feel so much younger. My biggest thanks is to Dr. Lawrence and her caring staff. She is a very caring and compassionate as well as a great surgeon. If I have any further surgeries. I will certainly return to Dr. Lawrence.

Facelift, Rhinoplasty, Blepharoplasty
These surgical procedures improve visible signs of aging in the neck and face, such as sagging of the cheek, deep creases below the lower eyelids, jowls, and loose skin and fatty deposits under the chin and jaw. It involves tightening of the facial and neck muscles as well as the removal of excess skin and fat. Rejuvenation procedures that may be performed with a facelift are a browlift to elevate the forehead, blepharoplasty to rejuvenate aging eyes, laser resurfacing to smooth wrinkles, and soft tissue augmentation to restore facial volume. A facelift can only be performed surgically; non-surgical rejuvenation treatments cannot achieve the same results. The procedure generally takes between 3 and 4 hours and is performed in an outpatient surgery center. An overnight stay is usually recommended. Incisions are hidden in the hairline. Patients typically are “socially unacceptable” for 7 to 10 days following surgery. Normal activity and exercise may be resumed after 4 weeks.
