WORTH IT
I looked in the mirror one day and said, "what the ____happened to me?" My Sister who is an avid fan of the Dr. Oz show viewed Dr. Raffi Hovsepian on the show talking about his new procedure a less evasive liposuction that Dr. Hovsepian pioneered. "Shrinkwrap liposuction" When she shared that with me I decided to have a consult. I went for my mid section and Dr. Hovsepian was so personable I decided to talk to him about a face, neck lift. After receiving my surgery proposals I decided to go forward with the facelift first.
I was so bad, I won't even share with you how long this poor young man worked on me that day. God bless his heart!!!
I have to say I went into that surgery feeling like Dr. Raffi's Mother and came out, seriously, feeling like his Sister. What this young man has done for me, I can never thank him enough. His talent to achieve the results he did and keep me looking like Nadine was remarkable to say the least. I psychologically feel half my age since I look so natural. Instead of feeling all worn out I have a new vivacious spirit.
I get comments constantly on how good I look. People half my age flirt with me. Hello!!! How is that for results.
Dr. Raffi's talent is supreme and his concern, caring, bedside manner, cannot be topped!!!
Dr. Hovsepian has become a friend as well as everyone else at The Beverly Hills Institute. Dr. Hovsepian's colleagues are kind and helpful and take the time to share. The staff are ALL extremely friendly and their attentiveness is reassuring. I cannot say enough good things about my experiences and results from this talented, gifted Doctor. THANK YOU DR. RAFFI !!!!! I will be back to take advantage of your talents.

Congratulations. I'm thrilled for you and your happiness just bubbles out of your review. I believe that the PS' team is so invaluable to a good recovery. My last visit to my PS' office, the girls all came up to me and hugged me - it felt wonderful. Good luck.

Such a happy story. I've heard that California and especially Beverly Hills is hugely expensive. Can you give us a price? And your aftercare arrangements?

I had prices prior and you must compare apples for apples . There are different facelift procedures. I found Dr. Hovsepian quite reasonable. I am just a working woman and money is a consideration but the results are more and most important to me. Dr. Hovsepians's expertise and artistry , in my humble opinion is incomparable. If you can get to Dr. H you will not be disappointed in your decision.

You look absolutely wonderful, it makes such difference to find a wonderful doctor. When you went for your lip consult, did he say it would be fine to do on someone 'older'? I'd love to do it but am worried that my skin will just hang afterwards.

Sminky, I'd like to know about lips too. I kick myself when I know look into mirror (admiring) and think why didn't I have him touch up lips? Darn, shoot, pooh. Just would like a longer lasting uplift then what Botox does for my upper lip. :( Sigh live and learn. Im big baby about shots and don't think I've got the nerve to have needles stuffed into my lips - shivers up the spine.

Oh I am so sorry, I meant to write lipo, referencing the poster's consult above. I've had my lips done many times, you don't feel it with a dental block.

I have a couple of questions What is the scarring like? Did he make an incision under the chin? What was the total cost?
March 29, 2015
Yes, he did make a scar under the chin and somehow I did not realize it and I looked at it a month or so ago and realized what it was. lol He did a hi smas face lift the best you can get. The outline on the ear is remarkable . He followed the ear to perfection and you do not even know it is there. Job to perfection. I would have to look up cost because of other work. There are many Doctors out there that should not be practicing. Let me tell you Dr. Hovsepian is the BEST in my book.

Im in Colorado. So the cost is somewhat a factor knowing I would need to stay in LA for a while and then go back for follow ups. But its our face so we want the best we can get:)
