EVERY TIME I see myself in a mirror I think, "YES!," and am thankful I chose Dr. Jeffrey Schmidt of Schmidt Facial Plastic Surgery.
Dr. Schmidt's excellent skills and care have restored my confidence, expanded my enjoyment and renewed my lease on life.
But before that . . . one beautiful, crisp, fall day while strolling along window shopping, I caught a quick glimpse of a tired, old, worn-looking face. Denial was futile when I saw the body below the tired, old, worn-looking face was wearing my clothes. Oh, no! No. No. No! I felt a sharp pang of dismay as I realized my brain had objectively analyzed my reflection before identifying it as me.
Uh, oh. What, if anything, to do? I consider myself to be a poster-child (OK, poster-adult) for robust health and happy living. I enjoy vigorous outdoor sports, frequent exercise and a positive outlook, religiously use 50+ sunscreen, wear a hat, and eat a healthy diet. Despite my best efforts, it was clear the plethora of treatments, serums, moisturizers, exfoliation, laser, acupuncture, botox and fillers I'd been using for my face weren't cutting it. Time and tide had not waited; my face had succumbed to gravity and headed south.
Once the shock passed, my inadvertent reality check served as a clear indication I'd need to step up and invest in plastic surgery to repair my eyes, nose and jawline. Enthusiastic and active, I wanted my face to look as great as I felt. I definitely didn't want to look "plastic." What I wanted was a tuned-up-yet-still-natural, best version of my own unique look.
My quest for the right surgeon was on. Analytical to a fault, I spent months completing due diligence research. I gathered and evaluated recommendations from friends who'd had facial surgeries and my dermatologist. I reviewed websites and ratings. I spoke with staff at several respected plastic surgery practices. I was initially referred to Dr. Schmidt from plastic surgery practices that did not address all three areas I wanted corrected.
Once investigated thoroughly, Dr. Schmidt became my first choice. His dual residencies, experience, commitment to excellence, results and humanitarian practices were the key factors that matched my surgical requirements and value system.
Upon arrival I was instantly relaxed and comforted to find Dr. Schmidt's office and surgical suite elegant and pristine. From my initial appointment onward, Dr. Schmidt and his staff have been unfailingly welcoming, courteous, positive and professional. Dr. Schmidt has been graceful and patient in helping me understand what is and is not feasible, gently correcting misunderstandings and offering suggestions for my consideration. His diagnosis and repair of an internal structural problem due to an old injury is yet another example of his exceptional care.
Now, 18 months post surgery, I am delighted to report my ongoing experience actually exceeds my initial high hopes. Dr. Schmidt absolutely provided the tuned-up-yet-still-natural, best version of my unique look I'd requested, and I will continue to use his services to keep my face in top condition. In addition to his expertise, skills and care, Dr. Schmidt is warm, kind, considerate and personable. I have recommended Dr. Schmidt to friends and they are also, without exception, pleased with their results.
It is with great pleasure that I highly recommend Dr. Jeffrey Schmidt of Schmidt Facial Plastic Surgery.
