Facelift Recovery: What Really Happens 

Looks like you're not only the best surgeon, but the best RU-vidr 😅 seriously, your videos are the best I've found! Thanks for making them

Dr. Joe, I just love your informative site. Learned so much already and looking forward to more. I would like to be a patient, if I can decide what I'd like to have done! Thanks for the great info.

They all look AMAZING 24 hours later.... just wow. Your willingness to be so generous with information and guidance is deeply appreciated. Thank you.

Awesome video. Thank you sir. Mine is scheduled for March 26th, 2021. I’m nervous but my surgeon dr Rostami, in the northern Virginia area seems to be one of the best Wish me luck!!

Very helpful. Knowing that there is the swelling and discomfort for the first two or three days is important; just being prepared makes it easier.

Would love to see their before and afters. They all look amazing. Great job doc!

You accomplished your goals on educating us on the aftermath type curiosity questions. However would love to see before, and after pic's of these women you showcased today! Truly an awesome video!

I Love these videos. Dr Niamtu is an Amazing Surgeon. I can’t wait to schedule my appt with him. Much ❤️

I am so interested. Love your videos! Wow, I believe you got a patient in me!

God bless you Dr Niamtu 🙏

Thank you for always checking up on me! you really are a very caring Doctor and I appreciate all that you have done for me

You are amazing.

She looks Absolutely Incredible Doctor!

He does really nice work!

Your videos are so helpful as I’m 6 days out! Are implants and fat transfers different? I opted for fat transfer but don’t understand the difference. Getting my eyelid sutures out today! The dexamethasone was by far the hardest thing on my body. Good news I just took the last one yesterday and feeling better today.

DR JOE WAS THINKING ABOUT THIS TOPIC THE LAST FEW DAYS !!! THE RECOVERY FOR MY MOM WHO IS THINKING ABOUT DOING A FACELIFT, I HAD EYE LID SURGERY TOOK ME OVER 6 MONTHS !

Perfect!

Thank you so much for you extensive information. You have put me at ease for my up-coming event. Ha' Ha'

I love your passion! It’s evident that you love what you’re doing and that you care.

I find this wonderful

Lady with the black glasses looks beautiful! And I like her glasses too! Great job Doc!

I just had smas face with lipo in neck in london harley st. I wish they did things here like you do. My stiches are huge and non dissolvable and very little info before surgery. Alot more painful than i thought it would be.

I'm having a facelift in Turkey this summer.

I truly appreciate the patient participating in sharing there experience an being honest about how they feel..They look very pleased with there outcome..love the Good Surgeon Good patient logic .. Its True ...😇

I just caught your byline "making Virginia more beautiful .....one face at a time." That's wonderful. I guess if u live in Virginia u got to do something!

Hi Mr Jone again. I just want to ask yo my face became very old and my age is 31 How do you advise me please

Mr. Joe, please do it for my mom. As she’s your biggest fan and dream of having facelift surgery with you…

You are amazing and so very genuine. Thanku. My question to you is can I go home after my lower facelift or do I have to spend the night in the hospital

Hi Doc. I am 4 weeks out from lower face and neck lift today. While my results are very good I do wish the neck was just a tiny bit tighter. I will discuss this with my doc during my follow up appt a few weeks. I value your opinion so can your tell me is what I see at 4 weeks recovery , what it get? I still have swelling of course but praying for a shrink wrap effect lol. She did Lipo as well. Thoughts? Am I done with full results and if so what is a safe way to take care of the problem?

Hi Doctor. We all learned from you a lot in the past. What brand of strips do you use for the anterior platismaplasty incision ? Can please provide the link for the strips you use . Thank you again for your great help .

I'm 5 days post op face lift, neck lift & lip lift .. my ears are probably the most uncomfortable. I expected recovery to be easier, but my darn ears! Still on soft foods, but getting better.

I just had a face and neck lift I’m having to keep my face/neck wrapped with an ace wrap. Do you do that?

Where does one find general price ranges?

How do you work with women who have very short haircuts? Not the scars in front of the ears, but the ones in back/sides. Do they eventually dissolve and not show as well? Great job on all ladies!

Do you use MLS therapy after surgery to improve healing?

Do many patients who've had platysmaplasty complain of uncomfortable tight or "choking" sensations? How long does that kind of sensation generally last?

I had a deep plane facelift and platysmaplasty one month ago and still have swelling below the earlobes and mandibular angles. I’m taping with 2 inch paper tape which seems to temporarily help the induration. The bilateral ear numbness, numbness over the mandibular rami, in front of the ears and below the jaw angles is driving me crazy! Have you ever dealt with this type of post-op complaint? I’m so fearful that the numbness is permanent. My surgeon said it should resolve in 3-6 months.

I’m at 4 weeks & still in horrible pain , depression is setting in . All the pain is around the ears & tight skin !

Dr in the last patient you referred to the jowls as "jellow" it really does appear as if the face has fallen forward and down as if there was not enough vertical lift. not criticizing just observation. What would be the fix? I really do not believe it will get better in time as the swelling goes down there will be even more laxity.

Would have been great to see the before pictures 😅

❤

i really wanna know how much would it cost. :( just so i can save $$$

Hi

I was surprised that the stitches were in front of the ear cartilage. I thought the new method was to run it along the edge of the ear cartilage

Hi..I wish being one of your patients..plz be my doctor

I WISH I KNEW YOU BEFORE I HAD MINE DONE. The problem with the facelifts - at least what I had (there are different techniques and mine was obviously a more intrusive type than others) - i was happy with the results for many months.....now, 14 months later my face looks horrible..like nothing was done...I was told all swelling would subside within 18 months but the problem is its the swelling that masks the flaws the most so its a rather traumatizing experience for me to now have minimal swelling to see NO DIFFERENCE and right when i was semi-happy with the results i'm back to crap....over a year later......it looks even worse. i wanted a neck lift and this guy have me a cheek lift though i am not even happy with that. all i know is he messed up my appearance moreso than anything and the STITCHES are lumpier than the initial issue was. my jawline looks horrible due to the internal sutures that are PERM.....he never bothered to tell me this would be an issue and they feel horrible..i feel 90 because of this..they are like jello in my neck and it's really disruptive. It's illogical for any Dr. to stitch someone up at the jawline to create a mess. I will go to you next time. This is horrible.

What is the deal with that pocket under the chin still after 4 weeks? Will that slowly go away?

Was a laser resurfacing enough to address the lower eyelids? Did she not have a lower blepharoplasty?

her lips needed something, i dont know what is! but rest is perfecr
