2 years ago my mother and I had our faces lifted by Dr. Antell. It was the best bonding experience we'd had since my children were born. My mother has always been a beautiful woman, but in this city you have to look exceptional. I wanted to freshen up before my jowls hung past my chin (sorry mom, no offense) Now that she is fighting breast cancer, I appreciate her more than ever and use all my strength to pray for her recovery. Unfortunately my mother has to get her breasts removed to save her life. Between the pain she is dealing with from the disease and feeling like she will be less of a lady after the surgery, I knew something needed to be done for her. I called Dr. Antell's office to ask about the options she'd have afterwards. The kindness I received from his receptionist was heartwarming. I've assured my mother that I will get her a perfect pair of boobs when she is ready.Plastic surgery isn't just for nose jobs and botox.They do reconstructive surgery, remove skin cancer and understand that wanting breasts isn't always about vanity. Curing disfigurement can be more uplifting than all the Prozac a psychiatrist could ever give. I give Dr. Antell all my thank yous and hope he never retires.

It has been about a year since my facelift. I got it done mid-summer so that I would be healed and ready to go for the winter holidays. I was excited to show off my 'well-rested' more youthful appearance.' Dr. Antell is famous for his natural-looking rejuvenation. None of that 'pulled Joan Rivers' look. My results were great. I was still myself, but ten years younger. I opted for the full-incision lift instead of the short-scar lift. Dr. Antell and his staff were exceptional. I felt safe, comfortable, and in good hands! Most of my extended family were unaware of my procedure, but everyone thought I looked amazing! It was the best decision of my life. I know that getting surgery done is a huge under-taking, and I did my homework! I researched the procedure, talked to anyone would give me advice, and then I met with three different Park Avenue surgeons before making my choice. I really felt as if Dr. Antell wanted to maxmimize results with the least amount of surgical intervention. He is conservative, cautious, thorough, and very available for his patients.
