WORTH IT$4,500
After losing 78 lbs or so my face started losing its volume as well which cause my eyes to look slightly sunken, cheeks to hollow out, and skin to lose its firmness and elasticity. Maintaining a low body mass index (BMI) exacerbates the problem because now I realize that fat is the very thing that helps plump out lines and wrinkles and with gravity comes to play it makes my whole face sag which reminds me of a day old party balloon at the age of 33.. :(
After almost a year of consideration and reading tons of articles,reviews and opinions on how to find a solution on my sagging face problem I realize there are so many choices out there from fillers, botox ,face lift and fat transfer to name a few.
Now looking up for the best doctor is like shopping for a brand new shoes. I called, emailed and visited few in chicago land area and 2 in Wisconsin. Until I finally decided to choose Dr. Shifrin and prayed that he's the right one for me LOL.

Bruising is not that bad. I was actually expecting worst. Face was swollen and felt a bit warm. Now the most painful part is my stomach area where the fat was extracted...had to take extra strength Tylenol before going to bed and then 2 again in the morning plus the antibiotics Dr. Shifrin prescribed. I also applied some vitamin C and Arnica gel to help with the bruising. And ofc ice ice ice.

Vitamin C really works well. I took higher doses before my surgery and I had minimal bruising after surgery. You look pretty god for day 1.
Great job doing your research.
