The best Dr. I could have chosen is Dr Quiroz. The Clinic is as good as you would get in Beverly Hills, the staff is absolutely dedicated to customer service all the way, the care is second to none and the stay for 8 days at the Recoveryhotel Boutique is beautiful is elegant, conveniently located and the staff treated me like a queen. The surgery went smoothly with very little pain and I worried about absolutely nothing. Someone else did it for me. I would recommend this experience without any reservations and would like to thank Cosmed for a fabulous experience. Yogi from Calgary, Canada

I look better everyday bit by bit. Surgery was on the 4 th. I stayed 8 nights in the recovery hotel. 7 post op. I did need the recovery time and could not have seen myself staying less. The full cost which includes surgeon , or, the stay at the hotel with all meals, anasthesiologist, medication, and the facelift, brow lift, fat transfer to lips and dermabrasion was a touch short of 9000.00. The recovery to me is slow and uncomfortable. I can see that 2 to 3 weeks is not unreasonable before feeling like yourself. The swelling takes time diminish but I see improvements daily.

I am thinking of having the dermabrasion to the upper lip. I am wondering what your experience was and how much it costs. I'm sorry if I asked this before, I can't find it anywhere (if I did). Thanks. YOu do look fantastic!

No, it did not include the flight. We spend the winter in Arizona so my husband drove me to the border in San Diego and the driver of the clinic picked me up. You would have to fly to San Diego and you would be picked up at the airport.

HI Yogi ...I am getting dermabrasion along with my face lift. could only take 18 days off. were you ready to face the world after 18 days? thanks. you look great!!

Yes, today is 17 days and I put make up on for the first time. You can err swelling and quite a bit of it but only because I know. I have been putting a special moisturizer on the area every morning and night given to me by the plastc surgeon and it helps. I have purchased a heavier foundation and it works. So yes, you should be good with 18 days. Good luck
