My son had surgery for cancer in his salivary gland when he was 12 years old. The dr. had to cut his ear off and lift it back to reach the cancerous gland. No one thought to take note if his ear lobes were genetically attached (like his dad’s) or unattached (like mine). You guessed it, they reattached it the wrong way…unattached. So now he has one of each. He’s in his thirty’s now, it has never bothered him. In fact in high school biology when their teacher told the class that a person had either attached or unattached earlobes but never one of each . He and his friends had a good time “proving her wrong”. Thankfully the cancer was removed with one short surgery and he has never had anymore problems. The surgery was preformed at MD Anderson, an amazing hospital. It was a very unusual cancer for anyone, especially a child. All glory to God!

Wow, your surgeon really needs to be an artist as well as a great doctor.

I've had surgery after cancer. I was told by the doctors to always have a plastic and reconstructive surgeon, instead of just plastic surgery certified. Great results.

I had a facelift in my 60s.And believe me ladies it was painless. So glad I did it.

Mickey Rourke, not Micky Rouke. He's had numerous procedures, it's kinda silly to focus only on one.

Years ago I was fortunate to work with a very good Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in So. California. Many people in the industry came to him and I was surprised by a few he turned down, telling them they didn't need a facelift yet. One you showed of this video. She later came in to tell him, I should have listened to you. He was one of those conservative surgeons.

When I was a kid my aunt had a facelift and when she came over for the first time afterword I didn't even know who she was and cried when my mother tried to convince me it was actually my aunt. She never looked like her at all again.

First time i saw 'obvious' surgery in person was a very elderly woman where I worked. She had a very old voice, very stretched face and a VERY old neck. It was a very strange experience when you're not used to seeing it!

Go for the facelift. Don't let moral judgement stand in the way of something that really interests you. There's nothing graceful about hanging skin, and there's no reason to allow natural decay. I want to age as the best version of myself. What is graceful? Elegance, attractiveness, grooming. What is natural? We exercise in man-made facilities with machines, we watch our diet with supplements and carefully produced foods, we get dental care like fillings and implants, we go to the hair salon to get our hair cut and colored. We use cars, cell phones, appliances, computers, medical drugs, flush toilets. Taking advantage of modern commodities and technology is not a bad thing. Aging leads to death. While death can't be avoided, the natural path to it is not a glorious one. I say, get your facelift and be happy about it.

What’s the average age for women getting a facelift? Are mini facelifts the same as a regular one?

I had a top certified plastic surgeon in Sacramento, CA, do my facelift and I was in excruciating pain during the first 24 to 48 hours afterwards! I truly wondered if I would be able to tolerate it and felt I should’ve been kept in the hospital for pain management! I literally had the first full blown panic attack of my life because I was so far from being able to cope with that amount of pain- so I’d like to know what went wrong there!!

Ty for honesty.

I won’t ever go under the knife or syringe. I do appear ten years younger than my chronological age. Why? I avoid an acidic diet. No alcohol. I take good care of my liver so hopefully, my glutathione levels are high. Nutrition is key. Some may choose a face lift but nutrition is the key to staying young! 🥰✨

Summary: Don't be stupid or cheap. Save your money. Then just go to Dr. Gary Motykie. Yep, I think that pretty much sums it up.

I like your point about choosing a surgeon and their aesthetic eye and artistic talent. I have noticed with the different plastic surgeon that have have shown after pictures that symmetry just doesn’t seem right to me. Your after pictures, however, really look amazing and quite artistic and beautiful. I would like to get a consultation. I will look you up on the Internet and give your office a call.

I wonder if it’s because when a plastic surgeon sees his or her reflection or has grown up in a certain culture they would apply what is familiar and what they are surrounded with as an artistic eye to their patients.

Hello Claudia, I just had a great face lift, and my doctor actually said as a compliment that , African American women ,even at 70 look so good, that they don't need a face lift. I have noticed that people like the gorgeous Dianne Carroll looked a bit aged by 80, though. I also have been noticing that the many great facelift doctors in the world are of Scandinavian descent . I think it's because people in that part of the world age sooner, being fair skinned. I'm a medium skin caucasian and aged way better than most of the Nordic people. Still, with everyone living longer, there is a market for African American face lifts and someone should start specializing in it. My makeup artist is a very dark African American and went to an African American plastic surgeon for an upper eye lift over 10 years ago and had a droop in one eye, and lots of problems correcting it. He thought his surgeon would understand how to work with his heavier skin texture, just because he had the same skin. So it doesn't matter what the race of the surgeon is as long as he/she understands what to do. I agree there needs to be work and attention paid to different ethnic skin types in plastic surgery. A lot of business is being missed out.

Your facelifts look like rejuvenation. Great work doc!

They tend to work on the worst cases such correcting damage done by hyperthyroid eye disease. Patients can get that bulgy goldfish eye look. (Exophthalmia.) Quite socially crippling and it can cause other issues. 💔 Those surgeons can mostly reverse that. (!) Genius. It’s important to find someone who does a certain set of procedures all day, every day.
