I felt you understood my concerns and desires. I told you I didn&rsquo;t want to look like anyone else. I just wanted to look like me but younger. You knew exactly what I wanted and explained to thoroughly the three procedures required. (1. Brow lift 2.upper eye 3. Lower face lift) and the techniques you would use to perform them. For me the hardest part was over. I knew I was in capable hands and all I had to do now was follow your pre and post surgery instructions. These were crucial because I had strenuous gymnastic routines to perform in just five weeks. Your protocols worked like a charm! By the time I arrived for surgery August 11, 2004, I felt I was in the caring hands of friends than just Doctors and nurses. This took the edge off my pre-surgery &ldquo;jitters.&rdquo; My anesthesiologist was also comforting and reassuring as he putting me under. The last thing I remember was &ldquo;Frank Sinatra&rdquo; singing! I woke up to someone snapping their fingers and calling my name. &ldquo;Old Blue Eyes&rdquo; was sill singing, I was surprised to learn not only had seven hours passed, but it was you singing! &ldquo;Surgery and a Show!&hellip;&hellip; Who Knew?&rdquo; <br> <br> Dr. Nassif you reassured me that everything went well. It was now time to be transferred to &ldquo;Tranquility&rdquo; (Thank you Eve for this contact), the after-care facility where I also received excellent care. I felt like I had been bumped up to first class for my post operative visits. Your staff greeted me by name and escorted me immediately to an examination room (no waiting) all the while giving me emotional support and encouragement. And by the way, thanks for the &ldquo;hands up&rdquo; about the wide range of emotions I would be experiencing during the recovery period. When the bandages came off, believe me I experienced them all. After my recovery I met some friends for lunch. They told me I looked so great and so rested and &ldquo;Where did you go for vacation?!&rdquo; <br> <br> Exactly the results I was looking for!! <br> <br> Thanks for the &ldquo; Freshening up&rdquo;<br> <br> Your newest fan&hellip;&hellip;<br> K.T.&quot;</em><strong><br> <br> </strong></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><img src="/images/facelift_diary_01.jpg" width="275" height="315"><a name="progression"></a></div></td> <td></div></td> <td><img src="/images/facelift_diary_02.jpg" width="275" height="315"></div></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="36"><strong>August 12, 2004</strong><br> Post-Op: Day 1 </div></td> <td>&nbsp;</td> <td><strong>August 13, 2004 </strong><br> Post-Op: Day 2 </div></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="20" colspan="3"></div> </div></td> </tr> <tr> <td><img src="/images/facelift_diary_03.jpg" width="350" height="250"></td> <td>&nbsp;</td> <td><img src="/images/facelift_diary_04.jpg" width="350" height="250"></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="36"><strong>August 13, 2004 </strong><br> Post-Op: Day 2 </div></td> <td>&nbsp;</td> <td><strong>August 14, 2004 </strong><br> Post-Op: Day 3 </div></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="20" colspan="3"></div> </div></td> </tr> <tr> <td><img src="/images/facelift_diary_05.jpg" width="350" height="250"></td> <td>&nbsp;</td> <td><img src="/images/facelift_diary_06.jpg" width="350" height="250"></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="36"><strong>August 15, 2004 </strong><br> Post-Op: Day 4 </div></td> <td>&nbsp;</td> <td><strong>August 17, 2004 </strong><br> Post-Op: Day 6 </div></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="20" colspan="3"></div> </div></td> </tr> <tr> <td><img src="/images/facelift_diary_07.jpg" width="350" height="250"></td> <td>&nbsp;</td> <td><img src="/images/facelift_diary_08.jpg" width="350" height="250"></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="36">1 Week Post-Op </div></td> <td>&nbsp;</td> <td>1 Week Post-Op </div></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="20" colspan="3"></div> </div></td> </tr> <tr> <td><img src="/images/facelift_diary_09.jpg" width="350" height="250"></td> <td>&nbsp;</td> <td><img src="/ExtremeFiveFace.jpg" width="150" height="198" border="1"></div></td> </tr> <tr> <td>2 Weeks Post-Op</div></td> <td>&nbsp;</td> <td>5 Months Post-Op </div></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="3"><a href="/makeover-facelift-patient21.html"><br> Click Here to view before/after photos of Kathy in the Photo Gallery</a></div></td> </tr> </table> <p>&nbsp; </p> <p><br> </p> <p><a href="/#top"><img src="/images/top.gif" width="60" height="20" border="0"></a></p> <p align="center">Los Angeles Facelift patient diary. <br> <br> </p></TD> </TR> <TR> <TD colspan="2" valign="top"> <CENTER class="text"><!-- #BeginLibraryItem "Library/btm_nav.lbi" class="boldblack" --> <CENTER> <P>Spalding Cosmetic Surgery and Dermatology | 120 S.
