My Facelift Experience - A Patient's Perspective

No items found.

"Many of us go through life full speed ahead. Between working, children and just life in general, our days run into each other. One day we look in the mirror and inside we feel like we're 40 and on the outside we look like we're in our 60s.

I felt like my jowels made me look sad all of the time and older. My decision to have a facelift was one of the best things I could have done for myself. Because of it I have a better outlook on life and I'm happier. Dr Parras and his staff did a wonderful job making me feel at ease with the procedure. I was surprised how comfortable I was during the facelift and instead of being in a hospital setting with anesthesia I was in an office setting with less stress.

I was skeptical at first that I would be able to take care of myself after surgery. The day after I had it done, I drove home from my daughter's house in Brecksville to Warren, which is around 50 miles, by myself. I live by myself, and I was able to take care of myself through out the recovery. For anyone that reads this, it isn't like a facelift years ago where it was an overnight stay at the hospital and you needed someone to help take care of you after. My daughter gave me good advice to get it done now when I could enjoy it! I always say you don't know if you don't try and now, when I look in the mirror, I see a different person than I was 2 months ago. People can't believe that it has been such a short time and that I don't have any scars and that it looks great!"
