WORTH IT$13,000

I've gotten fillers and botox for 10 years but they just weren't working anymore.
I interviewed 4 Boston area plastic surgeons and decided on Dr. Raffi DerSarkissian because of his kind demeanor, the fact that he has a board certified anesthesiologist present at surgery and he doesn't have a "one size fits all" approach.
I'm having a neck, lower face and midface lift with a 35% TCA peel.
I'm spending $450 more to spend the night at the surgery center with a private duty nurse.

I'm interested in following your story . Also consulted several Boston area facial plastic surgeons. Opinions ranged widely, and none seemed right. Like you, have had fillers for years and need to move to the next step: mid face/neck lift.

Of all the doctors I consulted Dr. D actually recommended the least amount of work and I can ashtray tell the outcome looks just like me but with "the sheets smoothed out". However, my neck has never been this smooth. It's gorgeous.

I stayed at the surgery center which made a huge difference. I was strong enough to go home. I didn't have a nurse at home. My husband is a physician but I didn't nerd him professionally. I needed him to pick things up for me. It's a rough 4 or 5 days but that's all, then you get to enjoy how good you look.

...and I'm excited and a little anxious about the recovery period. I'm taking a 4:00 AM bus from Portsmouth, NH to Boston and then a taxi to the surgery center. I'll spend the night there and then I've arranged for a ride home worth about agency recommended by the center. I was able to get an earlier surgery date due to a cancellation and my husband, who is a physician, wasn't able to reschedule his patients. The surgery center made these hurdles easy to jump.
