Very nicely and clearly explained procedure and reasoning for proposed approach.
I'm thinking 5* is perfect. At this point in time 2 months out I see the sag coming back and the line is not level under my chin. I know it is early day and I will see more changes. Almost perfect!
Dr Sunde is a great surgeon and his after care is the best. I am happier about my appearance.
