60 Years Old and Had Enough of the Jowls. Mexico, MX

Thank you. I feel great.

My Doc did a great job. Thanks very much. All is going really well.

Hi Marysol. The cost was $6600.00 US. This included all pre-op tests, surgery, and 3 nights in hospital. Dr. Barrera is in San Miguel de Allende which is quite close to you. I will post some other pics later when I get home from work. The only scarring I have left now is on my upper eye lids. All others where in my hair and behind my ears. I am very pleased with my results. I look "cleaned up" not done up. Dr. Barrera is a very caring Dr. and was available at all times. He even gave me his private cell phone number in case I had concerns. The healing has gone so well. No infections or any other issues. His web site is "Face Lift Me up". You can take a look at his other before and after pics. All the best to you Marysol. It is a journey I would highly recommend.

I need to add a correction. The hospital was in Celaya but I reposed in San Miguel de Allende. Dr. Barrera''s driver picked us up at the airport in Leon, drove us to Celaya then drove us to San Miguel. We came from Canada so had a lovely 2 week vacation in the fabulous San Miguel.

Also in my after pic I am not wearing any makeup.

Thank you. I feel really good. I would love to know how everything goes for you.
And don't forget to enjoy yourself in San Miguel. It is very beautiful.

Thanks I will let you know how it goes. Dianne

That is great Diane. All the best to you on your journey.

Hi Broth. Yes swelling is all gone. Still a bit numb on cheeks and neck. I will post some new photos soon at the 4 month post op. Thank you for your interest.

Thanks so much Willowcrest.

The charge was $6600.00 U.S.

thank you so much you look great!

Thank you livinsloher. I feel great!

Hi marchwind. It is difficult to comment on the sideburn hairline as I didn't pay any attention to it before the surgery. For the most part I wear my hair down but on those days that I pull it up I don't notice anything odd with the sideburn area. I wish I could be of more help to you with this.

Well i'm 66 so to be perfectly honest I have much bigger issues then 10 cm on my sideburns! LOL I wear my hair down also and if you didn't notice then I would guess its not worth worrying about.

Yes. I think if you have any length at all the sideburn area would be covered if there is an issue. Honestly, I had never heard of this concern until I was on this site and the issue wouldn't have been a deal breaker for me in choosing Dr. Barrera. As you say I had a lot bigger issues to deal with. lol

I am happy to know my post has helped Dianne. As we all have very different skin we all scar, bruise and swell differently. So I guess I am one of the lucky ones. I have also see some of the scars on other peoples faces and they look so awful. Not sure why the incisions were done the way they were. Sloppy work or not enough experience is my guess. All the best on your adventure. Keep me posted on your adventure!
