Great success with facelift; Dr. Shire 's procedures were careful to avoid any type of infection, love the results and will be getting a different kind of procedure now that I know how careful he is.

The laser procedure burned my face and took many months to heal. Even after the healing, there are, what could be permanent, discolorations. Friend had the same process done with other physicians without an extended down-time, with no lasting skin damage, and for less money.
