I am very pleased with my results!! I had my my brows re positioned which is done with a forehead lift, upper and lower eyes and fat transfer to lips and necklift. My experience with CosMed Clinic was a good one, I was treated very well and the food was also very good. I was picked up at the San Diego Airport by a van that was provided by CosMed Clinic and taken directly to the clinic, I was then taken to my room and made very comfortable by his staff. The next morning I had my surgery then was taken back to my room, I stayed in the CosMed Recovery for 7 days then returned home and have been healing very nicely since. I will tell you this, It is a little frightening to watch your face go through so many transformations in the healing process, I even contacted the clinic via email several times wondering why I looked so weird, and was told that my face was healing and that both sides of my face was healing and would look different until the healing was complete. I am still a little swollen but I'm posting a before and after picture so you can see the big difference. My daughter said it was really freaky because I now look younger than her, those are her words. Dr Quiroz is a very talented surgeon and has a very nice personality. He laughs very easily and makes you feel very comfortable. The Anesthesiologist was very nice as well, he actually talked to me before the surgery and made me feel very safe, he told me that he would be by my side throughout my entire surgery and that is very important.

I was asked to post additional pictures

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

Taylor I hope all is going well for you. Are you going to have your other procedures done by him?

I'm wanting to do an arm lift and will most likely go to him. I haven't decided for sure on other procedures on whether I will do them.

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...

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.

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....

Wow! I can't wait to the pictures. I've been wanting to have my arms done, is it very painful?

AZDee (RealFriend)

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...

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.

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.

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.
