WORTH IT$3,800

I went out of the country and had a face lift and neck lift by a prominent doctor. My face skin was loose and my neck skin just hung.

I was required to stay in the city where I had the surgery for 8 days. I did have to get extra fluid drained, but I had no major complications.

I am pleased with the result and get many compliments from my close friends how natural I look.

Hi, me again. I am following your posts. So, you had the LSL and went to Mexico and had a full face lift for this amount of money? That is great. I don't think many women consider going out of the country to have surgery but I have read where it is cheaper to have surgeries outside of the USA. And with good results. I am glad that your lift went well. Best, Chrystal.

I was extremely happy with my provider for my FL/NL. I had it done in Guadalajara. My doctor also teaches at University of Guadalajara medical school which is the most pretigious school from which to graduate for plastic surgery in the entire country. My scars are not visible and I look natural. My doctor was an artist.

P.S. at age 46 I tried a LifeStyle lift here in the US. It looked good for a while and then the scars got visibly worse. I later learned that I got a skin lift, but really no muscle work which caused the scars to expand while the muscles stretched the skin to droop. My scars from the Lifestyle Lift were bad. You can't even see the FL scars.
