Patient Comment Highlights: Brow Lift
July 16th, 2014
Please allow us to toot our own horn! Danielle wrote to us about having a brow lift or forehead lift in a previous post. While we celebrate the summer season, it’s a pleasant task to reflect on comments that our patients have written about choosing to have surgery with us.
According to The American Society of Plastic Surgeons, which I am a member, almost 45,000 forehead lift procedures are performed annually. A patient typically comes to see me when they experience low or sagging eyebrows, causing their upper eyelids to droop over their eyes. Droopy eyebrows may contribute to looking tired and aged. A forehead lift or sometimes called a brow lift, is an effective procedure for both men and women to raise the eyebrows to more natural position on the face. This repositioning helps to create a more youthful appearance. We are pleased to share Danielle’s comments again and we are delighted she is happy with her decision.
Daniell writes: “I had a forehead lift about 6 months ago and am so pleased with the whole experience. Dr. Bashioum is absolutely wonderful — very kind and concerned about his patients’ happiness and well-being. He was available to me at all times in the weeks after my surgery, which was reassuring. And, of course, the results of my lift are great, too. Surgery can be scary, but Dr. Bashioum and his fabulous staff made it a comfortable experience. I would do it again in a heartbeat.”

Patient Comment: Facial Rejuvenation
May 20th, 2013
Dr. Bashioum’s patient shares her experience with having an office consultation, her uncertainty about having surgery and her ultimate decision to have facial rejuvenation surgery to fix her sagging chin. I want to thank Liz for sharing her story.
Liz writes: I recently had liposuction facial rejuvenation done to my neck to reduce/lift the sagging below my chin. While it is easy to write this comment, it took me an entire year before I was felt 100% comfortable with the decision to have surgery. My reservations were not about Dr. Bashioum’s ability to improve my neck or the surgery itself. I had done my research, met with Dr. Bashioum several times and felt informed. My reservations were all about me. I am 40 years old and I had a hard time with the idea of “cosmetic surgery”…aren’t I too young. I felt I may have been overly focused on my neck, meaning that it was more my mind than reality. I also wasn’t sure I deserved the cost of the surgery.
I shared all these concerns with Dr. Bashioum. His advice was to wait and take time to decide if my neck really bothered me and then don’t worry about what others thought. So, after a year of hiding my neck, ducking my chin under high-collared fleeces, and frowning into the mirror, I realized 3 things. First, I wasn’t too young, secondly, my neck really, really bothered me and lastly, I was worth it. I am so glad I took the time to really reflect on having surgery and thankful that Dr. Bashioum encouraged me to take it instead of pushing me to make a decision I wasn’t ready for. I am very happy with the results and rarely find myself thinking about my neck anymore.
