I had a mini facelift and a neck lift one week ago and could not be happier or more thrilled with the results! I look about 10 years younger. Dr. Thomassen is by far the best plastic surgeon I have ever seen and he is also a very warm, kind and reassuring physician who takes his time and answers all of your questions. His team (Michelle, Constance and the nurse anesthetist, Maria) are also amazing. I give my highest recommendation to Dr. Thomassen!! He is the best!

I had a mini face and neck lift and upper bleph- and I’m healing beautifully 2 week’s post op. I cannot say enough positive things about my experience with Dr. Thomassen and his staff. I was so nervous about this procedure -and Dr Thomassen is so patient and kind and answers all questions. Never made me feel rushed once. I’ve been to other plastic surgeons over the years and the way he cares for his patients stands out very much. He cares and it shows.. Michelle the surgical coordinator - so sweet and patient as well - answered all my extra questions I’d call her with promptly. The receptionist there also was always smiling and sweet. Constance the head nurse - was nothing short of amazing. She has the world’s most soothing voice and way about her. She made my -day of surgery nerves - so much better! Willie the assisting nurse- was so cheerful and helpful and just a plaeasure- also calmed my nerves and was so nice to talk to! Dr. Maultsby - the anesthesiologist - deserves an award for absolute genius with personalizing precisely the appropriate anesthesia for someone’s needs. I’ve been under general anesthesia and had “Mac” or twilight sleep - type anesthesia -many times in my life - and have NEVER - had a better experience! No exaggeration- I was completely at rest and relaxed yet not unconscious. immediately after the procedure I was aware and awake and feeling perfect! No drug hangover at all! It was like it never happened as far as the anesthesia! Thank you so much to everyone for making my facelift experience such a good one! Dr Thomassen and his staff are truly the best! I am 50 years old and have had my share of procedures -and I write this with knowledge and confidence. I don’t write reviews but this was well deserved -and I know how vulnerable being in the position of choosing the proper surgeon for a voluntary procedure is. I should also mention I have been having my fillers and Botox done here as well and Dr Thomassen does them perfectly! I’ve been to many other Drs for them prior to finding him and he knows what he’s doing! Wonderful Dr and staff are so hard to find ! I hope others find this helpful.
