A wonderful experience every step of the way! I’m a 62 year man who went in for a full-face lift, major liposuction in the belly and back area and revision of an ugly looking scar on my belly. Knowing I was in for seven hours of surgery, the whole thing seemed rather daunting as I walked into the OR. However, once on the table, Dr. Lee, the anesthetist, put me at ease with his friendliness and within seconds I felt a wonderful feeling come over me. In what seemed like an instant later I awoke to Nurse Elaine asking me how I felt. She handed me a mirror and despite the swelling, I could already see the exciting results of my facelift.
From that point on things just kept getting better and better! Each morning was exciting as I would get up to see ever growing improvements as I healed. After two months, the results on my face and body are amazing! My wife is practically giddy over my transformation and even my kids keep telling me how good I look! Everyone who sees me is astounded by the lack of any visible scarring on my face. And the ugly looking scar on my belly has practically vanished. Plus, I went from having a fat belly to having a six pack! I find the results utterly astonishing! Much better than I expected. I look and feel at least 10 years younger and my confidence in my appearance has skyrocketed. This is one of the best things I have ever done for myself.
Dr. Carr is a master at what he does! After my very extensive experience in his hands, I am convinced that you could not find a better plastic surgeon anywhere – certainly not in Vancouver and perhaps not even in LA or New York. While warm and supportive, he’s also a straight shooter who calls it as it is. If you can benefit from cosmetic surgery, he’ll tell you and will turn you away if you can’t. Also, the clinic’s pain management is flawless. At no time following the surgery did I feel any physical pain. Some discomfort yes – but never any pain.
Dr. Carr’s staff is also wonderful. Nurse Elaine is a real gem who’s with you from the time you wake up until you are fully healed, through a series of post op visits. Tammy, who arranges all the surgery did a first-class job of scheduling me at the earliest possible date and she makes me feel like I’m visiting a good friend every time I drop into the office. The reception crew, Cherysse, Amy and Karen are also fantastic and make me feel so welcome every time I have an appointment! I thank all of you!
In summary, Dr. Carr’s Office is a first-class operation. You won’t find better anywhere. The only downside is that he has a massive waiting list and it will take many months to get an initial consultation and many more months for your surgery. But as the adage goes, good things are worth waiting for. If I could give this place 6 stars I would.
