Tarbet, Kristin J, Md - Virginia Mason Main Clinic

Since I was a teenager, I’ve been self conscious about my double chin. As I grew older, my double chin grew too. Every time I looked in the mirror, I saw my great-grandmother’s double chin! For my birthday, I decided to give myself what I’ve always wanted – a profile. Initially, I was hesitant about having cosmetic surgery. I was concerned about the potential results, the healing time and the expense. Fortunately, I read about Dr. Tarbet, saw some of her amazing work and made an appointment. My results look completely natural and the healing time was much shorter than I thought it would be. There are even medical payment plans now, so I didn’t have to take out a loan to make my dream come true. I still can’t believe it’s me when I look in the mirror. I actually have more energy and a brighter outlook and can even wear necklaces and turtle necks again! I can say without any hesitation that I would do this all over again – not to mention much sooner, if I would have known how great I would look and feel afterwards. more

The recovery phase of the procedure was truly a breeze. Over-the-counter pain relievers, easily handled the mild post-op discomfort. Swelling and bruising were very minor. Ice packs easily took care of those. In my case, friends were unable to detect the surgery after the third day! Some never noticed at all. To me, THAT’S the true test of good surgery. more
