Before And After The Quicklift Cosmetic Procedure

- Look “fresher” in a shorter time than it takes for a conventional facelift.
- Always pick time to research cosmetic surgery options, the surgeons, and the costs involved.
Having lost 70 pounds from gastric banding surgery, I had a problem with loose, sagging skin on my face. My overall facial appearance before surgery looked “tired.”
Investigate thoroughly before cosmetic surgery
Caution must be exercised when considering any type of cosmetic surgery. I found numerous online websites explaining mini-facelift options. The QuickLift™ was extremely informative, and I knew a friend who had cosmetic surgery performed by Dr. Thomas Kotoske at the Cosmetic Surgery Institute. I decided to make an appointment for a free consultation.
Consultation recommendations
Dr. Kotoske took mammoth time to study my facial structure, and clarify what he thought would be most beneficial to remedy droopy facial skin and sagging jowls. He recommended the minimally invasive QuickLift™, which includes neck liposuction, and an eyebrow seize to eliminate the heaviness above my eyelids. I readily agreed.
Preparations for the QuickLift™
A physician’s appointment, blood work, elimination of blood-thinning medications, financial arrangements and paperwork were necessary. Once approved for surgery, arrangements were made within two weeks after my consultation. I found all staff at CSI to be courteous, well trained and answered all questions and concerns. The QuickLift™ was performed on a Friday morning, with a day-after follow-up appointment on Saturday. That’s why it’s called a weekend facelift!
After QuickLift™ surgery
I was slightly uncomfortable for just two days, and took it easy. I looked like I had slammed into a door face first on Week 1, with some swelling and bruises. I should have known that my skin would be ultra-sensitive since I have rosacea and a fair complexion. I’m sure there are women who have different complexions and skin types, and may never swell or bruise.
At the end of Week 2, I had a follow-up appointment for the sutures to be taken out. I felt nearly normal again, however, I still didn’t look that way. However, my husband, the doctor and I could definitely see the improvements to my facial appearance, and especially the neckline! I was encouraged enough to go to dinner that weekend with our friends!
Was the QuickLift effective?
I’m glad to say that I’m joyful with the outcome. I don’t necessarily feel younger, but I feel so much better about myself. I would do it all over again to be rewarded with the self-assurance I’ve gained. I would benefit older women and men, especially those who have lost weight recently, to consider a QuickLift™. Just 2-1/2 months following my procedure, we were exhibit for our daughter’s wedding, and we also attended a high school reunion!
