Here are a few more pictures taken just a few days ago. I have lots of itching on my scalp from the forehead lift and it's still numb from the center of the top of my head to the front hairline. I message it daily and that helps, it is getting much better as the weeks pass. I did lose a little hair from my already weak hairline from this procedure which I was aware of before having it done but it was worth it to me, it will grow back in time.

You look amazing! Thank you for sharing your story. Enjoy the new look. I am having so much fun with eye makeup. Each day I do new colors. You tube has so many makeup videos to help us contour our new eyes. All the best! Barbara

Thanks, you wouldn't believe the makeup I've been buying. I can put it on and it actually looks good for a change. I've been getting so many compliments from friends who had no idea that I've had a facelift.

Taylor you look amazing, a complete transformation! I think the requests for scar pics came from doubt, on whether your story was real or not? First, you were very brave to post your before pic taken where you are looking DOWN into the camera...this showed your clear aged appearance. Second, the after pics were shot with webcam which gives the appearance of cheesecloth over the lens and softened you so much it was difficult to believe you were the same person. After looking at your latest clear pics, it is clear to me, your story is REAL! I can see this in your eyes and in your nose they look like a 20 year younger version of your original picture! I think if your before pic had been shot from a face-on perspective your aged appearance wouldn't have been so dramatic. Anyway, this rambling message is meant to say, WOW, your doctor did an amazing job and you were blessed to find him!

Thank you. I actually figured out why my pics were so blurry. I was putting very greasy lotion on my face that Dr Q had given me and it got on the lens of my ipad.

I wish there was a way to delete my before picture, it is horrible! I really never looked that bad actually, you are right about the downward angle making me look worse. Maybe Angie will see this post and delete my horrible before pic or tell me how to do it.

taylor, if you click on the photo it should then give you the option to remove it. PM me if you have further questions.

September 22, 2013
Taylor, I hope I didn't offend you on your before picture, I'm so sorry if I did. Only a 20 year old wouldn't show age looking down into a lens. I make any one taking my pic stand higher than me so I can look up into lens! My turkey neck is SO BAD I can't stand it. I plan on fixing this in January! You are beautiful and your amazing results are something I can only hope for. Very best wishes for fast and safe healing!

You didn't offend me at all, it was the truth. My son said it best, he said I should have posted a picture of me with makeup on for the before picture because I had it on with the after picture. I guess I wanted everyone to see what I saw, I guess it worked because its an awful picture.
User Avatar
September 23, 2013
Oh okay, thanks I will try. Maybe I will post a before picture that looks more like me.
December 31, 2013
Hi Taylor I hope all is going well for you. Please Don't delete your before pictures. It's will help many decide. I wasn't even considering a face lift until I saw your pictures. Now I am just trying to save the money for the entire trip. Thanks for sharing the pictures and believe me the only ones seeing them are the ones interested in such a procedure.

Your pictures are beautiful. Your results are amazing. I have the same problems of getting good pictures on my cell phone. With good lighting I can get good pictures but other appear blurry or lacking resolution.

Thank you. I think the latest pictures that I posted are more clear.
September 23, 2013
Taylor you look great! On 4/11/2013 I too traveled to CosMed Clinic, (which if anyone would look up, it is a beautiful state of the art facility with a wonderful recovery bouquet). Anyway I did my research and was very confident with my decision to have Dr. Quiroz do my multiple surgeries, I had a lower face, neck lift, breast lift with saline implant and arm lift all done at once...Not going to lie, it was painful times three!!! but I am so happy with my results and after seeing other's pictures here with like surgeries, I am even happier with my results. I do want to comment on the scars behind the ears...they do bug me, and hopefully they will go away or at least become flatter as they itch at times and I wear my hair down covering the. Dr. Q said it would be 6 months before the full results are seen...

September 23, 2013
Thanks and I'm happy to hear that you are doing well, my scars are now itching but are getting smaller each week. I put scar cream on and that does help with the healing. Did you post any pictures, I would love to see them.
September 23, 2013
I just posted a review for my arm surgery, after seeing other ones here, I thought to myself oh I need to show off Dr. Q's work...so I posted a before and after of that should be available to see in the next day or so. I need to post pictures of my face. I still need to go and get frazel done, Dr Q says I should have a set of 3 procedures done to get rid of the fine lines...Really should have had my first one done when I had everything else done, but as I was waiting to be admitted they wheeled out a woman who had just had it done and her face was bright red and it scared me.....I have since gone back for a check up so I could be ready for treatment 3 if I only had started then...Anyway I was waiting to be finished before posting pictures but I guess I will...Turns out I have a lot of skin damage, go figure a light skinned California girl with skin damage....

September 23, 2013
Wow! I can't wait to the pictures. I've been wanting to have my arms done, is it very painful?
September 23, 2013
For me it was the most painful....as the under arms are so sensitive, but so worth it. Dr Q did a great job, the scar is pencil thin and gets lighter all the time. I have looked at thousands of other pictures (I must have seen every picture available on the web) and I have one of the outcomes I have seen...

I've seen some pretty big scars too. I may have to go for it. Thanks for sharing.

I would love to have an arm lift but I've read that lymphadeema can develope as long as 10 years after the surgery, have you heard this! I want to have it done so bad! I'm still researching, I sent pics to Dr Q and I'm waiting for a price quote.
February 2, 2014
It happens when they cut in too far from what I have read, ask Dr Q about it..

Look at how horrible I looked in my before picture!!! Do you think for one minute that I'm concerned about scars? Come on!! Scars a a small price to pay for the results you will get from a face lift. Good Luck to everyone having a procedure done. Sorry I could not please everyone with my pictures but a few more will be forth coming in the months to come. Who know, maybe I'll post a few scars to make a certain person happy. lol

Torontochica, Good luck and best wishes in all your future cosmetic endeavors but for politeness sake and for the integrity of this site and this beautiful lady's personal story maybe you should not post any more here, as if there is a conflict for whatever reason, it would be best to wish well to everybody and to get on with more productive things, as we all want to be a support to others and keep this a positive experience for all, thanks.
September 18, 2013
Dear Taylor, I hope that you did not mind me interfering as I just did but dog gone it, I just want to hear how your doing about about your experience and this other junk is really not supportive or needed, again I'm sorry if I've stepped where I should not have. :)

Silver - I can see a comment from you...was there more than one?
September 18, 2013
I am a little perplexed by your posts to TaylorPlay1955. No one here is obligated to anyone to posts pictures they don't want to post. Some people tell their stories posting no pictures at all. Readers aren't entitled by virtue of visiting the site to pictures that any individual does not care to post. If someone doesn't want to post pictures of scars, so be it. They owe you nothing. No is no. I think you have been out of line, regardless of your motivation.

Thank you! I will be posting more pictures as the healing process comes to an end.

You are entitled to your opinion the same way I am entitled to my own. At no point did I ever say that the poster was "obligated" to post any pics. It is highly contradictory to say scars are a given after having a facelift and then not want to share pics to support this. You can see by her review that she feels fine about sharing posed photos, so it's not like there is a concern about anonymity. I don't care if she any posts pics at all anymore and I mean that - it really doesn't matter.

Why is the after picture taken from far away and with a mist and the before picture from up close and without the mist.. for the price, you could have gotten your eyes done as well, the first thing anyone does is look at one's Eyes.
September 18, 2013
Shes only 1 month post...many changes to come!! Dont judge just yet....even 1 month out tremendous improvement. Cant expect perfect...have to be realistic of what can be :)

September 18, 2013
She did get her eyes done,,it is pretty obvious from the before and after with or without the "mist" Those pics are exactly what mine look like when taken with my webcam. I often use my webcam as my own camera is a cheapy and takes lousy pics. Does it matter?

September 18, 2013
That is so true, I have lots of healing yet to do. I expect it to just get better and better. Hopefully that will be the case. I always say that you have to take some bad with the good when it comes to plastic surgery, nothing is perfect.

I did have my eyes done. The pictures were taken with different cameras. My future pictures will be more clear.
September 18, 2013
I am not judging. The question was Why was the picture taken from far away and with mist..instead of a clear up front picture, that is all!

Thanks Taylor for posting. There are some pretty nice women here, but there are some pretty nasty ones too. That is too bad that sharing your great experience brought out the ugly in some people. We both (and the other 4 people we met there- 3 who were back for more surgeries) know that Dr Quiroz is awesome. He really doesn't need any more business so by not posting your scar pics he has less work to do. He doesn't advertise. All his work is word of mouth- and he is always busy!
