WORTH IT$25,000

I was not pleased with the look of aging. At 68 I have many years ahead of me and want to look as youthful and lovely as I can. Dr. Naficy did this for me. I am very happy with the results. It is worth every dollar spent.

I researched two years for the right doctor for my brow/face/neck lift with lipo, lower bleph, fat grafting and laser resurfacing. I looked at the before and after photos which are so important to show a doctor's work. I was amazed at Dr. Naficy's credentials and chose him. We decided together on what was necessary to give me the best outcome. When I healed, I changed hairstyle, had my brows manicured and looked 20 years younger.

You look amazingly young Gmom......and actually i am searching for the right doctor......but i live in the UK,and would prefer closer to home.
Good wishes for the future.
If you want Dr. Naficy, come stay with me. I will care for you until time to go home. :-)
Gosh ,that is very gracious of you Gmom.....thankyou.....i,m going to see if its do able.
Gmom, for your comment to secrets... you a the sweetest woman I've EVER heard. Precious is what you are. I told my pastor about the nastiness I've faced trying to find answers to the nightmare I got sucked into. God Bless you Always!
Yes 2trusting........Gmom is indeed a most kind lady,and i thank God for people like her,and you 2trusting,i hope and pray ,for something good to come your way.,and i know how horrid it is when people are so nasty ,i had much the same when i dared to complain of my dreadful surgery in Costa Rica,it reduced me to a blithering wreck.
There are some truly vile people out there,and i question what people are coming to.I was brought up to have good manners and regard for others,but all that seems to have gone now.
I sincerely wish you well.
You look fantastic. Did you experience much pain
Yes but not that much. The laser resurfacing around my eyes hurt the worst for almost a week. I actually went out to a seminar on the evening of the 6th day. I was on Tramotrin for pain but didn't use it all. It was worth everything.
If you want photos from my journal I am happy to share with you. Gmom
$25,000 for a LSL?
I thought it was supposed to be cheaper and more affordable than a normal facelift. When did you have it done and what did you have done?
I did have a "normal" facelift. I also had a brow lift, neck lift, liposuction of my neck, lower eye bleph, fat transfer and laser resurfacing around my eyes. In other words, the full meal deal. I had it all. I had it done Nov. 10, 2011. I searched almost two years and chose this doctor for his amazing credentials and work. He charged what other doctors in my area charge for the same thing.
So this is a review post for LSL? I'm confused. You do not mention the fact as to whether or not you had this done by LSL or an independent surgeon.
I did not have LSL. I chose a facial plastic surgeon board certified plus. He has the only accredited surgical unit within his office in my area.
So in other words, he charged you as much as if you had it done elsewhere.
Yes. I actually was thinking of going with Dr. Phillpi Young but 13K was surgery and 10k was fillers. I didn't want fillers as they don't last but 1-3 yrs. at the most. What I wanted is a permanent surgery.
Yikes! That's a lot! So your Dr. does not work for life styles lifts?
Oh Heavens NO! This was the real deal. He cut completely around my face except for 2" at the back of my head, and except around my ears was in the hairline to be invisible. Skin loosened, deep muscles cut, raised and tied up higher. Skin redraped and excess cut off. My doc. does not do Lifestyle Lift to my knowledge.
Ok, that's good. I had one of those and got damaged, and now I'm in a battle! I'm checking in to what my options are to get repaired, and after what LSL did to me I need compensation in order to be fixed. The laws are all screwed up and evidently, it's not illegal for them to be harming so many people.
I think you look fantastic and I know you are soooo happy. Did you have any nerve damage?
My Greater Auricular Nerve was cut, and here 2 yrs. later my face is still numb on both sides and up into my scalp and under my eyes. It's horrible.
OYE! Not good! I am so sorry. What area are you in geographically? I am in PNW. Dr. Naficy probably could repair botched up jobs. He's very good. I have no nerve damage and numbness was temporary and gone by 2 1/2 months. Just a bit left on front of scalp and going away. I don't know about nerves that may have been cut or damaged if they could be repaired or not. Sure hope you don't have to live with this. This is why we sign a consent for surgery. There are always risks, thus I researched and chose carefully and I think wisely. Perhaps the best thing to do is have a consultation with him.
OYE! is right! The worst decision I EVER made in my life was believing that monster that is The Biggest Liar I have ever heard and unfortunately I bought in to it. They've covered the internet with all there lies, and it was very difficult for me not to get sucked in at the time. At present, I cannot afford to see a REAL DOCTOR. I'll probably have to live with this the rest of my life, and soooo many people are being damaged by them. And their "happy" people viciously attack us! It's a nightmare!
