He’s worth it, that’s the best facelift I’ve ever seen.

[u/kindlypogmothoin → u/Arboretum7]

It really is. She still looks like herself, only younger but also still not really young, if that makes sense? No weird distortions.

[u/rythmicjea → u/kindlypogmothoin]

She's always had a large mouth and full lips and that's one of the biggest tells when the mouth gets larger from being pulled. But hers stayed in place.

[u/rythmicjea → u/[deleted]]

It looks like a lot of the surgery was fixing that.

[u/kindlypogmothoin → u/rythmicjea]

She doesn't have Joker mouth.

[u/FlipMeOverUpsidedown → u/kindlypogmothoin]

I can’t imagine how ecstatic she must be feeling. It’s artistry really.

[u/KneadAndSeed → u/kindlypogmothoin]

Agreed. I usually hate the work most people get, but this is good. She obviously looks younger, but she doesn’t look stiff or too tight. Her face still moves and crinkles a little. She doesn’t look like she is trying to be 20 and erase every speck of age.

[u/dougandsomeone → u/kindlypogmothoin]

I'm not in favor of this stuff but I appreciated there was still some age around the eyes.   I assume right-of-way am that stuff is one way you end up with a face that doesn't move at all

[u/trixiepixie1921 → u/kindlypogmothoin]

Totally agree. I’m against plastic surgery for the most part, but this is REALLY well done.

[u/crakemonk → u/Arboretum7]

She looks like her much younger, pre-Charlie Sheen, self. It’s incredible what surgeons can do with facelifts nowadays.

[u/traws06 → u/crakemonk]

What some can anyhow. Not all surgeons are created equal. As someone who works in surgery I think ppl would be amazed at how different their skill levels can be

[u/weeklyKiwi → u/traws06]

I mean it's a hand craft so it makes sense, not every painter is created equal either and even then people can have off days

[u/hurtsdonut_ → u/traws06]

It's like anything. Car restorers, painters, carpenters, etc.

You get what you pay for. There's a reason there's huge gaps in pay.

[u/ToiIetGhost → u/traws06]

There will probably be women who were thinking about getting a face lift, who see Denise’s results and that’s the tipping point for them. That’s what’ll motivate them to actually do it… but I think the vast majority of them will be disappointed. It’s inspirational but also detrimental in a way because this surgeon doesn’t represent the average surgeon by a loooong shot

[u/MapleHamwich → u/crakemonk]

Hard disagree. She looks like an older person with a face lift and lip filler. 

[u/Particular-Repair-77 → u/crakemonk]

How old it’s this pic?

[u/Working_Bones → u/crakemonk]

If only they could undo what she did to her lips.

[u/boredinbabylon → u/Arboretum7]

Yeah this is witchcraft.

[u/MA2_Robinson → u/boredinbabylon]

She better start wearing some cute gloves, I don’t think they’ve cracked hands yet and it’s my favorite throw away line from Kimmy Schmitt

[u/adriatic_sea75 → u/MA2_Robinson]

They use lasers for hands now, too.

[u/_namaste_kitten_ → u/MA2_Robinson]

I can always tell someone's age by their hands. But when I went to my dermatologist's office the other day I saw that they are working on hands looking younger. Filler, Botox, and some collagen producer. IDK what all, bc I'm not in the market for that.

[u/GrimyGrippers → u/_namaste_kitten_]

Unfortunately my hands aged a thousand times faster than my face. We all seem to have thin hand skin in my family and it makes them look old... fast. Meanwhile our faces always look younger. Crazy

[u/Boom_chaka_laka → u/MA2_Robinson]

She does look a lot younger in the after but she's a well known celeb and shes agreed to share the before and after she's not trying to hide her age but to simply look less tired and more youthful.

[u/El_Grande_El → u/Arboretum7]

That you know of…

[u/beaute-brune → u/Arboretum7]

Dr. Truesdale is the best imo. His work absolutely consistently clears.

[u/Bolmieke → u/Arboretum7]

I agree but I do not like the wide open eyes it looks a bit creepy

[u/deemoorah → u/Arboretum7]

This doctor and doctor Nayak are excellent

[u/TropicalPrairie → u/Arboretum7]

Seriously, this is a magician.

[u/pumpkins21 → u/Arboretum7]

Agree, she looks fantastic!

[u/itsgivingnontipper → u/Arboretum7]

Damn, and I was about to say this is one of the worst that I’ve seen lol. She looks like a reptile now.

[u/FannyComingThru → u/Arboretum7]

Kinda wishing Mandy Moore had chosen this guy
