I just turned 55 and was unhappy with my droopy eyelids and too many wrinkles around my mouth. After doing a lot of research I decided to have a consultation with Dr Wolfe to see what could be done to make me look a bit younger without looking like I had over done plastic surgery. Dr Wolfe said a mini face lift, a brow lift and an upper eye lid procedure would make me look more refreshed and younger without looking over done. I decided to go ahead with it and had an appointment with the nurse to go over the procedure and what I needed to do and what to expect. The surgery took about 3 1/2 hours and I was happy with the OR nurse and Dr Wolfe. I filled the pain med prescription and never needed to take anything for pain. I was amazed that everything went so smoothly and I never had any pain. My surgery was on a Friday morning and Monday I went in and the nurse removed my head bandage and stitches. I had very little bruising just a small red area around my eyes. My cheeks were a bit swollen for the 1st week. I did not like sleeping on my back as I am a side sleeper and that was the only thing I did not like about the whole surgery. There is a little red on my forehead where the stitches were but nobody can even see them my (very thin ) hair covers it. I went for my follow up today which was 16 days post op and I could not be happier with how fast everything healed. I looked at other plastic surgeons websites and saw pictures of their patients who had the same 3 procedures as I had and none of them healed as fast as me. I am really glad I did my homework and found Dr Wolfe. I would defiantly recommend to anyone thinking of having their eyes done and a mini facelift.
