Making the decision to get plastic surgery isn't one anyone should go into lightly. For a lot of people, it comes after years of unhappiness, pain or inconvenience, a lot of research, talks with family, and medical considerations.
One woman streamlined that process a little by talking these things over with her plastic surgeon, who also happens to be her younger brother. Linda Clardy is 15 years older than Dr. Gary Motykie. Despite being the older one, she's watched as he has perfected his craft over the years and feels like he's the best candidate to help with her own transformation.
Technically, doctors are discouraged from treating family members for fear that personal feelings may influence their professional medical judgment.
Linda decided that she wanted something subtle where she would still look like herself, but a "rejuvenated" version of herself. Gary knew exactly what she was going for.
"You know me, I'm not a vain person," Linda told her little brother. From the looks of her transformation, he did know exactly what Linda wanted. He ultimately performed a face lift, neck lift, jowl lift, and skin removal.
For Gary, it was a chance to do something special for someone he truly cares about. To see Linda's before-and-after transformation, check out the video.
