Considering facial rejuvenation expert could feel like staring at a blank canvas with lots of possibilities but also many questions. Many Seattleites have followed this road under the direction of Dr. Joseph Shvidler, avoiding false promises and always maintaining integrity. His method starts with an actual, two-way dialogue. There is no pressure and no stifling jargon. He listens if you show up with a list of worries ranging from wrinkles that won’t go to drooping skin. He then strolls you through your choices, methodically.

Dr. Shvidler will evaluate your particular facial structure, skin tone, and goals during the consultation. Sometimes patients arrive wanting a facelift and leave with a pair of well-placed injectables booked instead. Other times, a more complete operation makes sense. You won’t find a strong sales pitch here; he doesn’t believe in a one-size-fits-all remedy.

Anticipate a list of available treatments, each with clear advantages and drawbacks. You may have heard about a neck lift to tighten loose skin or eyelid surgery to remove that tired appearance. If suitable, he will discuss less dramatic, non-surgical choices including filler or Botox. Questions are acceptable and encouraged; he has heard them all and will respond honestly even if it means advising you to wait or review options.

Regarding the actual operation, comfort rules most of all. Whether your visit is for a more involved treatment or an in-office one, the friendly demeanor of the personnel calms nerves. Dr. Shvidler thinks your features should be highlighted rather than hidden in results. Usually with thorough guidance at every stage, patients find recovery to be more pleasant than they would have expected. And his door is always open should a worry surface later on.

Patients often find great astonishment in how naturally they look—like themselves, only more rested. Though compliments are appreciated, particular improvements may go unreported. His goal is to help you feel more confident every time you see your mirror rather than as like you are hiding. Facial rejuvenation gets less enigmatic and far more approachable with Dr. Shvidler.
