WORTH IT$6,000

I had a lower face lift, upper eyes & extensive fat transfer to face one month ago in San Juan costa Rica with Dr. Chavarria. I stayed at Las Cumbres Recovery Center and the whole thing : room, board, nursing care, transportation and surgery cost $6,000. That's it. This is not my first surgery
but it is my first out of the country and I would never do any plastic surgery here again. I got pampered and cared for, surgeon was attentive and skilled and the whole experience was well worth the trip. I could never have afforded the package of procedures back in the States, and I look FABULOUS! Two girls from work have already made plans to go down this summer.

So glad you had a succesful surgery, have you got any before or after photos?
Why would you never do any ps in costa rica again?
I read it that way too, but I think when she said "I'll never do plastic surgery 'here' again" she was referring to "here" as in the USA and not "here" as in Costa Rica
I too am planning surgery with Dr Chavarria,very happy to hear you were pleased with him as I am very nervous,I am planning on tummy tuck thigh lift and lipo on hips plus fat injections in face.this is to be done all at once so little nervous about how my body will handle.Hope I am as lucky as you,congrats
I would love to see some before and after photos
I would also like to see your before/after photos, please. :)
Sorry, I don't want my face out on the web, but I can send you a picture of my ear. Most folks who get cheap lifts at Rosenthall Clinic
have horrible scars in front of their ears. They look like Frankenstein. Dr. Chavarria uses a different, more complicated technique that goes around the ear lobe, into the crease & under so nobody could EVER tell you had surgery. I did go back to have a second surgery with Dr. Chavarria & the results were OK but not as impressive. I had fat transfer done from thighs to my face & my body just sucks up the fat. In six months I looked the same. I understand this can happen; it just depends on your metabolism.
