Doctor Maack did an excellent facial surgery for me! I had a minor face lift. There was absolutely no brusing or discomfort after the surgery. I did not even have to take any pain meds. My hair covered the stiches. I did not have to miss one day of work. And, I love the results! It took 10 years off of my looks! Note: I had checked into other surgery centers prior to making a final decision, but none compared to Synergy (Doc. Maack) as far as the quality and price.
