Facelift

My husband and I were both considering a facelift. We wanted to look more youthful without looking like we had “work” done! After a great deal of research, including a thorough review of cosmetic surgeons’ websites, education, certifications, and reading patient reviews, we were especially impressed by Dr. Canoun’s qualifications. We took the first step and scheduled a consultation with him. Immediately upon entering Dr. Canoun’s office, we felt welcome and relaxed. Dr. Canoun was so caring and professional, providing a very detailed description of what to expect from the surgery and recovery. He took the time to answer all of our questions and made us both feel completely confident that he was the surgeon for us. I scheduled my surgery before leaving Dr. Canoun’s office. In addition to my facelift, we discussed an upper eyelid blepharoplasty. My upper eyelids have always been somewhat droopy and the condition seemed to get worse with age. I had no idea that my upper lids could be lifted. Dr. Canoun explained that upper eyelid Blepharoplasty can reduce or eliminate the sagging. I had my facelift and eyelid surgery 6 months ago. I can’t emphasize how comfortable both my husband and I are with Dr. Canoun. I am thrilled with the results and feel that this was a life changing experience for me. Dr. Canoun will be doing my husband’s surgery very soon. I would be remiss if I didn’t mention that Dr. Canoun’s entire staff is exceptional.

I have been considering a facelift for a few years but was naturally concerned at 1) people that i know thinking “wow, she looked good before but now looks horrible or 2) complete strangers pass me on the street and think “she has had some BAD plastic surgery”. I interviewed 3 different plastic surgeons in the bay area — some touted to be the best in the area. One surgeon I saw in San Francisco said I didn’t need a facelift and wouldn’t be happy with the results and that I should do my eyes only — but I can see myself in the mirror and know I had some natural jowls from aging. But, he agreed to do a facelift and my eyes for $24,000. I decided on Dr. Canoun for several reasons. All of his reviews consistently said “if you want a natural ….” and that is exactly what I wanted … and what I got. I had a facelift only 13 days ago and could not be happier with the results — even with swelling and bruising still visible. Truly amazing. The best thing — it is VERY natural. I had some bruising but read about putting pineapple on the bruises and it helped tremendously. I also iced a LOT and that not only felt good but helped with the swelling. I will probably have swelling for about 6 more weeks but it is very manageable now. Best of all, Dr. Canoun was very reasonable on pricing. Much more reasonable that the surgeons in SF. I would definitely recommend him.
