I had a Deep plane facelift on May 13, 2026.However, prior to that important date, I researched facial plastic surgeons for about 2 years before I stumbled on to Dr Athre. I am a 65 year old black woman that is extremely fit and lean, so I was quite aware that I needed a doctor who had experience with my skin type and who understood the dynamics of a super lean person who now wants her face tightened and what that balance needs to look like. I also wanted the Dr I chose to specialize in Facial surgery only. My demands were high, hence the 2 year research. I started following Dr Karem, a highly skilled Dr from California on YouTube. I was convinced he might be the Dr for me because of how Amazing his work was and he specialized in facial plastic surgery. However, the draw back for me was, none of the videos I saw of his work included black patients. I then decided to Google Facial plastic surgeons who worked on black people. Several Doctors names came up including Dr Athre. However, along with Dr Athre’s name also came a very explicit video of a black women around my age that he did reconstructive surgery and a Deep Plane facelift. The results were MIRACULOUS. The video showed her before pictures and chronicled her journey from the day after surgery to 4-6 weeks after. Her results BLEW ME AWAY. It was just what I wanted, to look like myself but Refreshed. At that point I knew I had found the right Surgeon for me.I contacted Dr Athre for a zoom meeting and his confidence in his abilities was exactly what I was looking for. We discussed how we were going to approach my surgery and we both agreed on what the outcome should be.I am writing this review a month after my surgery and I couldn’t be more THRILLED with the results.My very skeptical husband who resisted the idea of me having surgery and the cost, saw me 2 weeks after surgery when I returned to Costa Rica where we live and his response when he picked me up from the airport was “WOW”!!!!!! AMAZING!!!!!! “MONEY WELL SPENT”. I responded with a side eye😏 “UH HUH”!!!!!!!🤣To wrap this up, I am truly grateful that I met Dr Athre and his WONDERFUL TEAM ( Barbara, Rosa, Vickey, Cassie). Also, Dr Randall the anesthesiologist who has the most Delightful bedside manner that made me feel so secure and safe. I couldn’t have asked for a more professional, personalized experience. I felt like I was the only patient that ever walked through the doors of 2414 Ella Blvd. As a matter a fact on one of my follow-up appointments, there was another patient who had just had surgery and was in for her follow-up appointment. She was getting so much attention from Dr Athre and his nurse Vickey, that I recall feeling a little perturbed that she was getting so much attention as well.🤣. I got over it, and recognized that’s how EVERY patient should be treated.My journey of healing continues and every day it gets better and better. I am grateful that I took the time to find the right Surgeon for me and I am Proud of Dr Athre and the work that he did.Normally people try to hide the fact that they’ve had plastic surgery, WELL NOT ME. I am telling everyone that I’ve had it because I’m SO PROUD of the Results.LUV YUH DR ATHRE.❤️🫶🏽😘Michelle Rogers Ling
