The interview

How did your initial consultation with Dr. Gould go?

We actually did a video call for 45 minutes where he sat with me. I still was a little nervous, so I asked to meet in the office, and he sat with me for another 45 minutes. He is so calm and takes his time; you are not a number to him, he treats you like family.

Why did you choose Dr. Gould over other surgeons?

I went to two other doctors and I just didn't feel what I felt when I walked into his office. I felt a warmth from the ladies at the front, and when Dr. Gould walked in and suggested what he wanted to do, it was a done deal. I booked the same day.

What were your biggest fears regarding the procedure?

What was scary was the pain I was going to have after. I kept thinking the pain was going to be horrendous because it was a total facelift and everything.

What was your actual experience with pain and medication after surgery?

I had maybe a 3 pain the next day, if you even call that pain—it was just discomfort. I felt absolutely no pain and took no pain medication. I just took Tylenol for the discomfort, to be honest with you.

When did you first notice the results of the surgery?

When I first came out I was swollen, but you could already tell the difference. My neck was the one that bothered me the most, and it was so nice to see the 'baggage' gone right after. Now that I am six months into it, I love it.

How would you describe the communication with the medical staff during recovery?

The support was amazing. I was texting the girls, Sophie and Jasmine the nurse, all through the weekend and I would get a reply back right away saying 'don't worry, this is normal.'

How have others reacted to your new look?

The word I'm getting from people is 'refreshed.' They don't say 'oh my god what happened to her,' they just think my skin looks soft. Even the girl who does my hair and the girl who does my eyebrows couldn't tell I had scars or work done.

How painful is the recovery after a total facelift with Dr. Gould?

Will people be able to see my facelift scars?

What kind of post-operative support does Dr. Gould's office provide?

Aymee highlighted that the staff, specifically Sophie and Jasmine, provided immediate support via text throughout the weekend following her Wednesday procedure, offering constant reassurance that her recovery was normal.
