Patients are de-identified for confidentiality and patient privacy.September 19, 2024CLINICAL NEUROSCIENCES CENTERI selected Dr. Akkina for my deep-plane facelift because she took the time to explain the procedure, met with me several times to address questions and seemed confident and capable. I like that the care was received in a hospital, because though the procedure is cosmetic, it was still a significant surgery. I like that she isn't a general plastic surgeon, but specializes in the facial structure to get the proper results for a facial surgery (rather than a breast or tummy or whatever). I am a week out and so far, so good.
