⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
My experience with Dr. Mesa was nothing short of life-changing. From the moment you walk into his office, you’re treated with genuine care, attention, and respect. The staff is top-notch the front desk, the CMAs, and Christina especially, are all amazing. You feel like you’re walking into a second home, not a medical office.
I came to Dr. Mesa because I was feeling a disconnect. I work out six days a week, my body was tight and strong, but my face and neck weren’t matching up. I started noticing sagging in my lower face and neck, a loss of elasticity that I just couldn’t reverse on my own. It bothered me, not because I wanted to look different, but because I wanted my outside to reflect how I felt inside, vibrant, strong, and confident.
I had been seeing Dr. Mesa for about 13 years, and finally, he said it was time to do something. I trusted him completely. I never even asked for the full breakdown. I just showed up for surgery, knowing I was in expert hands.
He performed a deep plane facelift and deep plane neck lift, all under local anesthesia. And let me tell you painless. Yes, really. The entire process was smooth and comfortable, and I never once felt uneasy.
Recovery was actually… enjoyable. Yes, I missed the gym, but Dr. Mesa’s team had me busy with massages, follow-ups, and self-care routines. They truly cared about my mental and emotional well-being, not just the physical results. They understood my lifestyle and made sure I felt supported every step of the way.
Now, 34 days later, I look in the mirror and see the version of myself I always felt on the inside. My face is tight, lifted, but natural, no one noticed I had surgery, just that I looked refreshed. Some thought I’d had PRP (which I joked about), but let’s be honest PRP doesn’t give you this kind of result!
This has been an unforgettable experience, and one I’m so grateful for. If you’re on the fence, just do the consultation. You’ll know right away that Dr. Mesa is the real deal, a true artist, an expert surgeon, and a kind soul with an incredible team behind him.
Thank you, Dr. Mesa, for giving me back a face that matches my energy and spirit. You’ve truly changed my life.Read MoreRead LessGabriel Wagner10/16/2025The procedure didn’t hurt at all, even though I was awake during the procedure!
