I am so happy to share with you my most extraordinary facial cosmetic surgery experience with Dr. Issa Eshima. I am ecstatic and certainly did not ever imagine that I could look this good! All I was desiring was to be rid of some of my 64 year old wrinkles, not even expecting to be the most beautiful me I could be. My 32 year old son was skeptical at first, but after seeing me just four weeks after surgery, is announcing to the world, ?It?s amazing! My mother looks likes she?s thirty five years old! "" Dr. Eshima is truly a master!
I had been researching plastic surgeons for over two years, combing the Bay Area for the best and interviewing the ""top"" surgeons in the Bay Area. Complicating matters for me , was my overwhelming fear of doctors, hospitals, etc. When I interviewed Dr. Eshima, his kindness truly helped me overcome my fears. I could tell that this man truly cared about people and their lives. For instance, after choosing my date, he mentioned that on the third day after my surgery he would be out of town at a convention and wondered if this would be a problem for me. I asked him what would happen if I needed attention and he replied,"" It's only a 45 minute flight, I'll be here before you will!""
I certainly felt with this kind of a response that I could TRUST this physician and this was key for me. I already knew that I could TRUST his educational background, board certifications and titles held in the field of plastic surgery, this alone was impressive. Not to mention his countless before and after photographs which tell the story of his talents right there...amazing and delightful to see how this man has changed lives with his unusual talents. Again, TRUST was important to be because of my white coat syndrome problem.
Adding to my search came all kinds of testimonies and encouragements about Dr. Eshima. I ran into an old friend from college who oddly enough, I had not seen in over 35 years. This is a person whom I have always admired as an artist and decorator and he emphatically assured me that Dr. Eshima was the only one to go to. Then I decided to go to some well known skin specialists and dermatologists in the Bay Area and ask their opinion about my face ""Is there anything else that I can do?.? One treatment specialist in Palo Alto after learning that I was interested in Dr. Eshima said that he was the best and that she believed in him so strongly that if I decided to go ahead with the procedure that she would drive me to the hospital and take care of me for a week because she wanted the privilege of meeting him!
I first heard about Dr. Eshima through my personal shopper in San Francisco. She saw me two weeks after surgery and was so impressed that she immediately made an appointment to see what he could do for her!
So on it went?. whenever his name was mentioned the answer would be "" Yes, he's great! "" So TRUST was built and because of this I have been able to go through what seemingly could have been an anxiety provoking experience with confidence and actual JOY! From entering the hospital until now, my sixth week, I have had total confidence and have enjoyed my experience immensely! The post op visits have been fun with Dr. Eshima and his assistant Magaly. Magaly actually calls you every day to find out how you are doing, and she is a mind reader....""Are you tired? Are you overdoing it? Are you eating too much salt? "" etc.... Great care and so assuring. She is a delightful person who advises you through your post op experience.
I feel that I have been TRANSFORMED....not only on the outside, but on the inside also...I feel radiant and confident and all aglow! I only wish that I had done it sooner! Thank you Dr. Eshima for all you have done! I want to encourage anyone who is thinking about facial surgery to say yes and jump right in with Dr. Eshima......you can TRUST him.
