66 Years Old - and I Can't Stop Looking in the Mirror!!! Gorgeous Thai Facelift. - Thailand

You can't find him on the net because Thai doctors are not allowed to advertise in any way. The scars in front of the ears and under my chin can barely be seen. The ones behind my ears are still visible but rapidly disappearing.

What I also like about your FL is that it looks so naturally, not too tight. Will you post some more pictures perhaps of the scars around the ears from the front? I would like to see where he does the cut, some doctors do it inside the ear. I am prone to Keloids, thats one reason I am very worried about cuts or scar's on my face. Like you I also bruise very easily, but that does not bother me, it goes away eventually.

I don't have any more photos at the moment but will take some soon and post them. The cut was made directly in front of my ears and those scars almost completely disappeared as has the one under my chin. The one across the top of my head was under my hair so I can't tell if it is still there or not. The place I still have scars is behind my ears extending a short way into the nape of my neck. My left ear is still numb as are the spaces on my cheeks directly in front of the ears. This is improving daily and it seems to me that the numbness and the tingling vary. Yes, I agree with you. It does look very natural. Even though I find the change in appearance to be quite dramatic, hardly anyone I actually know has realized that I had a face lift. The only problem I had was with my passport photo - they didn't believe it was me. First they didn't want to let me out of Thailand and then they didn't want to let me into Austria!!

Oh no. For some reason I can not read your email address. Maybe they don't allow it on this sight. All I can see it @chello.at. Please try just sending me the front part of this email address and leave out the @chello.at. That might work. Thanks.

Hi, Yes, I got a message from the site that email addresses are not allowed. I guess it's probably best not to put the Information on this message either because anyone could read it. Just ask me whatever you want to know and I'll post it here Rosemary

Sounds like a good idea. You said it cost $6000 for the work you had done. Was that the total cost including room and board while you were there?

Yes, that was the total cost. I was in the hospital for two nights. The OP was for a complete face- and necklift as well as upper and lower eyes

Hi Rosemary how did your upper eyelid procedure go,have you any photos without your sunglasses,you look great dying to see what you look like!!

My upper eyelid OP was a bit different from the usual procedure. I had one eyebrow that was over 1/2 cm higher than the other one. This is the reason that I had a full Facelift rather than only mid- and lower facelifts. Once that was taken care of he not only did the eyelids but because the eyes were not the same size, i.e. asymmetrical, he enlarged the opening of the left eye. The surgeon said that the full results will be visible in 2 to 6 months time - once the swelling has gone down not only on the outside (which is already the case) but also on the inside. He said it is difficult to get the eyes to be exactly the same and it may be necessary to do some correction work the next time I am in Thailand. So it will be a while until I post eyelid pictures. BTW I did post another picture without sunglasses - it's hard to see the eyelids on it though.

Hi Rosemary great to hear your doing well. Just a question your teeth look amazing going by the first picture to your last.Did you have any work done or is it the results of your facelift.you look amazing !!

Hi Tammiew, I just researched him thru Beautymed, Thailland which you can google. I am thinking of going this August.

Hi Melen, Actually looking back on it, I was perhaps quite foolhardy.I decided spontaneously to have the facelift done. He was the only doctor I consulted. I immediately felt a great deal of trust in him and decided solely on this basis. My feeling was right and the results are, as you said, fantastic. He did have some before and after pictures but they were dated and not much help. I think that may be true that they can't send you any due to privacy issues. He told me, for example, that plastic surgeons are forbidden to advertise in any way in Thailand.

Hi again, Thanks again for all your time in responding. I know you have an overwhelming response to your results. I have to say I have been following this site plus others for several years and you are the most impressive. I am seriously considering your surgeon and it's a big deal for me since I am also going with my "gut" on this too. I've researched hundreds of surgeons, and wasn't thoroughly convinced until I saw your post. This will be a big step for me because I live in NY; Thailand is a long way. I read that someone said Bandon hospital was not as well equipped as others like Bunrungrad.

I think it depends on what you call "well-equipped" - although I'm not a medical specialist so I'm just telling you my own impressions. It is a small hospital. Clean but in no way luxurious. I had a private room with bath (also basic and no frills) which cost about 250 dollars a night. As to the medical facilities: They did blood tests, took my weight and blood pressure, did an EKG and a lung x-ray prior to surgery which took place later on the same day. One disadvantage is that very few of the nurses speak English. The doctor does and there are two people working there, Richard and I think the woman's name is Janet, from Australia. They are extremely helpful and if anything comes up where Translation is needed, they are immediately by your side. Once again, it is a matter of trust. I can only say how I reacted and show you my results. (They didn't even have recent before and after pictures. Although they seem to be working on this. He also took before and regular -about once a week as long as I was in Thailand- after pictures.) A friend went with me for the initial examination and another friend went with me for one of my Check-ups. They were both interested in having surgery done themselves, also felt that they would be in good hands with this surgeon and will have the surgery done next winter when in Thailand. By the way, if you do decide to have the facelift done there, give yourself a vacation and time to enjoy beautiful Thailand!
