Short scar facelift before and 5 months later patient interview with Dr. Lindsey
Watch this lady’s transformation with a short scar facelift. We’ve done 4000 facelifts like this and her comments are pretty typical. The only real hassle is wearing a support wrap for a week after the procedure…which is critical!
Hey so we dr. Lindsay here we are five
00:19
days out from a mini facelift on a
00:21
patient I worked on ten years ago and I
00:25
asked her if she would just make a
00:26
couple of comments first of all how old
00:28
are you
00:29
62 and you’re really healthy and active
00:32
yeah and so I worked on you in 2007 did
00:36
a little mini lift yep exactly ten years
00:38
and one month ago and was honest with
00:40
you back then and brutally honest yes
00:43
okay and how much did it hurt you ten
00:45
years ago uh you know it was just it was
00:48
not comfortable but it was a lot easier
00:50
this time around okay
00:51
so I saw you again a month or two ago
00:53
and again you the thing you have going
00:56
for you’ve got such great skin and you
00:57
got a good husband which makes you age
01:00
less than a lot of people do yeah I’m
01:02
active and so last Friday we did a
01:05
little mini lift I gave you a little
01:06
valium numbed you up and the numbing up
01:08
hurts a little bit right yep
01:10
and then we did the procedure and you
01:13
went home and then the next morning I
01:15
saw you right and you told me how much
01:17
pain did you have that first night um I
01:20
only took three pain pills I woke up at
01:22
3 a.m. I took the vicodin twice two or
01:24
three times and I woke up at 3 a.m. in
01:26
pain and I took a Tylenol because I
01:28
didn’t want to get nauseous and Tylenol
01:30
work just fine and the biggest pain in
01:32
the neck is where that head wrapper yeah
01:33
yeah it is
01:34
okay and so you’re five days out we took
01:36
your stitches out a day early just
01:37
because you look you’re healing so well
01:39
and so you’re gonna use some vitamin E
01:41
for the next month or two and hopefully
01:43
we’ll get you back and get an update on
01:45
this video and some updated pictures I’m
01:47
still very swollen so I’m gonna come
01:49
back in a week or two okay all right
01:50
anything you want to tell the doctor
01:53
Lindsay is a sculptor he does a great
01:55
job it lasted almost 10 years the first
01:57
one and this one he did a little bit
02:00
more work on me because I’m older so I
02:02
fully expect a great result for the next
02:05
ten years so I don’t know if I’ll be
02:06
back in ten years that might be my last
02:08
one but we’ll see okay well thanks for
02:10
your talk thank you
02:13
to refresh my memory I worked with you
02:16
maybe ten or twelve years ten years ago
02:18
exactly
02:19
well yeah ten years and four months and
02:21
we did a little lift and then you define
02:23
and you’re how old now 62 almost 63 so
02:28
in the in the margins of this video I’ll
02:30
put up your before pictures okay and so
02:32
we did a little lift on you in some May
02:35
of this year is a grateful April and now
02:38
it is September the 15th so you’re about
02:40
five months out how does it been great
02:43
it was a much easier the second time
02:45
around I don’t know why but even though
02:47
you did more work he did more under here
02:50
it was fine and how much did I hurt you
02:53
when I did it not at all okay we did it
02:55
with you a wavelet slide away
02:56
we were teasing him the hope short here
03:03
yeah and the pain in the butt of this
03:05
whole thing is you gotta wear a head
03:06
wrap for a week and sleep in there it
03:08
didn’t bother me actually felt good but
03:11
yeah no pain and your husband was
03:13
supportive of all this oh you know turn
03:16
just a bit that way and so you were
03:18
short hair and your scars over my
03:20
glasses don’t are pretty typical at four
03:23
and a half or five months out from doing
03:24
it and still numb at all ah it’s coming
03:30
back actually I just notice yeah it’s
03:31
back so second time in your face takes a
03:33
little longer you got a nice pointy chin
03:35
and I think you look fantastic you look
03:38
refreshed yes I do
03:40
I didn’t I don’t look pulled and
03:41
tightened and people don’t realize I had
03:44
it but I tell anybody anyway so my good
03:46
friends I took one of the the issues is
03:49
that with a little lift you have to be
03:50
careful to give that customer enough to
03:53
make it worth doing without pulling it
03:56
so much that they look windswept and I’m
03:58
not a big big guy into that one Swift
04:00
full that’s why I don’t like you
04:02
part of going sorry is you good you good
04:04
good skin yes part of visits you look
04:06
refreshed yes yes any advice you want to
04:10
give anybody do it oh my gosh I
04:13
I do it every 10 years but I don’t know
04:16
that I’ll do it when I’m 72
04:17
we’ll see all right thanks
04:21
