announcer: dr. stanley frileck came highly recommended. the only problem was he lived 3,000 miles away in los angeles, california. dr. stanley: i had her digitize me some photographic images that she emailed. it was a good starter for our conversation. marcia: iãm flying out to california to meet with dr. frileck, and if i like him and i feel comfortable,
iãll go through with it. but if thereãs something that hits me in the negative, i am very fast to say i canãt do this. dr. frileck: letãs chat a little bit about some of the things that are bothering you about the way your face is aging. marcia: what iãm really concerned about is my neck. like i just woke up one morning and my neck was wrinkled. when i met with dr. frileck, he mentioned that if he just does my neck that it wouldnãt really be worth it
because he really wants to get a whole look. dr. frileck: face lift is an unfortunate name. itãs a face repositioning, itãs taking the tissues that have fallen, putting them back by some means, and hiding the fact that you were there. announcer: dr. frileck suggests altering marciaãs nose as well. dr. frileck: the bridge needs to be narrowed a little bit but weãre talking about millimeters. so it can still be the essence of your nose, yet much more refined.
announcer: overall dr. frileck recommends five separate procedures including a brow lift, an eye lift, a face lift, a nose job and fat grafting around marciaãs chin and mouth. marcia: after i met with dr. frileck, i said this is the person for me and i decided i had such confidence in him that i decided to call my husband and i said, ã¬iãm doing it,ã® and he said, ã¬i knew you would.ã®
i feel a lot better than i thought i would feel. 00:02:06.7 i thought i would come here and run out the door, but iãm here. announcer: in the operating room, dr. frileck pulls up photos of marcia on his computer to use as a guide throughout the operation. dr. frileck: we're going to start with the temple area 00:02:21.8 and a slight elevation of the temple brow. the position of her eyebrows sets the stage for everything else that you do in the eyes and then later on in the face. closing takes up most of the time.
you have to match everything up. you have to get a great scar. you have to hide the fact that you were there. that takes all the time. announcer: after ten hours, sheãs bandaged and wheeled into recovery. dr. frileck: actually, the surgery went very well. marcia: after about 16 months, we were having dinner and he looked at me and said, ã¬i have to admit, you really look good.ã® that made me feel really good
that he finally came around. marciaãs husband: i am actually surprised at how pleased i am with the results. she really looks beautiful. marcia: i would say that i did look very, very different when i first had it done but i love the results. in the end, it was worth freaking my husband out because he got over it and now i think he really doesnãt remember what i used to look like.
