No More Turkey Neck! Dr. Koelliker Performed a Facelift for Me in San Miguel De Allende

Here it is my last day at Casa Marino. Fabiola just gave me a fabulous pedicure. I am going to miss all this pampering but am staying a week longer in San Miguel moving to a B & B to explore this magical city. I will stay out of the sun and be taking it easy for another week...dont want any complications.

Though I've always been told I look younger than my age, this year I turned 60 and there was no mistake, my neck and my droopy eyelids showed my age. I was shocked when I'd see a photo that I didn't 'prepare' for and saw how much I really have aged - and that person in the mirror just didn't look like how I feel! I'm a 'nature girl' and would never have considered a facelift, but a friend of mine recommended her whole experience with Dr. Koelliker here in San Miguel de Allende so enthusiastically--and she looked so incredibly naturally great-- I started to seriously think about it. I loved the idea of combining a trip to a beautiful place with the pampering and spa treatments that FACELIFT MEXICO offers. I am single and I really felt uncomfortable with doing surgery at home and not having anyone there to watch over me...and I also didn't want to run into anyone I know in my own town. This has been the perfect solution. Right from my arrival I felt catered to with such kindness, professionalism and nurturing there has been no sense of worry or anxiety about it. Dr. Koelliker is delightful, sweet, professional and very very skilled. The hospital in Celaya felt very classy and my room seemed more like a cushy hotel room than a hospital room. My procedure went so gracefully there was no pain at all--I was amazed. Of course the doctor is managing any discomfort with medications -- but I have never felt heavily drugged or any nausea at all. The nurses at the hospital are wonderful and sweet...and the food is good. On my third day I was driven by private car to Casa Marino in San Miguel. The driver spoke English and was lots of fun to talk to. Casa Marino is an elegant luxurious retreat and Pat was here to greet me warmly upon arrival right at lunchtime. I met all the staff and was delighted to see how every detail of a comfortable stay is attended to. Fabiola moniters the healing process with a skillful knowledge and nurturing style. The food is gourmet delicious and full of variety and nutritious courses...and my room felt like a 5 star resort! The sheets, pillows, furniture, towels and access to wi-fi, movies, phone calls back home and beautiful places to rest and sit outdoors made me feel so relaxed and comfortable while I wait for my fresh new youthful appearance to emerge! What a pleasant way to go through this adventure - I can't recommend it more highly for anyone considering cosmetic surgery. I'm on day 5 and I feel great, have walked around this beautiful elegant city and sat in gardens and cafes, watching the people go by, enjoyed the lovely historic cathedrals and feel just fine to be out despite a bit of bruising and swelling which is well hidden by my scarf and big hat. If you're considering this, talk to Pat and all your questions and concerns will be answered! Go for it!
