WORTH IT$9,200
Hi everyone haven't been able to update as I have been making it up to the children going swimming down the beach etc . I am really happy with the results the facelift has tightened my neck and jawline and my favourite part is my direct eyebrow lift ;although the scar is still noticeable without makeup , it isn't noticable with a little bit of foundation but it has really opened up my eyes again, I am still numb on the sides of my face and my neck my only worry now is I. Don't want it to fall anymore as I love the way everything looks now it's just as I wanted it . Dr lev is truly amazing I would 100 % recommend him . I loved Verdeza as well it is scrupiously clean so you don't have to worry about infection and the food was fine your bound to find something you like to eat there's a Walmart nearby and a Starbucks even nearer about three minutes away I loved Costa Rica I thought I would hate it but I loved it and I am definitely going back in the future. To explore it , I didn't want to leave it had everything I wanted I have posted some recent pics will keep you posted

My son and I just went to Walmart to shop .My knew kettle I brought has broken down after only ten days; got some more earl grey tea and bought a cuddly sloth and some Costa Rica t shirts for my children back home. I have been skypying them throughout the day daily on my I pad.
Stitches and staples come out tomorrow swelling is coming down each day . I have one eye bigger than the other at the moment so I hope this sorts itself out and is just due to swelling some of my wrinkles under my eyes are coming back but not as bad as before . I'm off to erazu for a Starbucks this afternoon nice shopping centre with lovely statues and water feature with coloured lights but not many shops there yet . The ladies are very chic in neutral colours with their lovely tanned skin very glamorous indeed God knows what they make of me my ray bans kept falling of my face when I last went two days ago . The scenery is beautiful here and the climate is absolutely perfect I could very happily live here it has everything I want .
In the morning I watch the locals jogging at 6.30 in their colourful nike outfits and love the parrots squabbling sooo cute

The only good thing about ducking into Mexico for mine is that it is not beautiful like Costa so I don't have the urge to roam!!''I'm sure many would be called by the aqua agua...lol..but I have the most beautiful water in the Bahamas at my place there!!

Oh my goodness.... you look great!!! Your jawline is fantastic! Dr. Lev once again demonstrates his surgical skill!!

Swelling is going to be around for a while but You certainly don't look like it's only been 1 week since having your surgery!!! I think you're the only one who notices it. Did the doctor say it was okay to wear eye make-up so soon?
July 28, 2015
No but I read on this website from other plastic surgeons it's ok after a week as long as you take it off gently
July 29, 2015
My PS had me wait 2 weeks before l was permitted to wear eye make-up. He also suggested that this way a good time to buy all new eye make-up and I happily obliged. Make-up, especially eye make-up gets lots of bacteria, which is why they to replace your mascara every 3 months.

Yes your right my eyes were sore later and I'm going to stick to sun glasses from now on

One week later? Amazing. Many people look battered for month from what I've seen on this site. To what do you attribute your rapid healing? Genes, surgical technique, supplements, aftercare?????
July 28, 2015
that's what i am wondering as i have the arnica and bromelein packed!!!! I am a fast healer in general so I hope I can rely on the genes part!!

No I have makeup on . I am still very bruised and swollen . I eat healthy at home I make kale and spinach smoothies with blueberries carrots beetroot orange kiwi and apples in my Vitamix blender and have that most days ,other than that I mostly eat salmon or chicken which I stir fry with red pexperts and rice noodles. I make sure the salmon is wild Alaskan as there is Mercury in farmed salmon and I work out doing kettle bells with ryan shanahans kettleworx DVDs I just do the week one resistance twice a day. And it's only twenty minutes fun and easy to do and I can get into size Ten uk , 6 Us jeans after having seven children . Kettleworx is a wonderful workout I use a 7.5 and 15 kg bell and it makes your abs like lead

Thankyou I was thinking of you yesterday I was watching a pretty boy on. YouTube who has very little eyelid and he was showing a very detailed video how with makeup he can make eyelids like yours and to think you wanted to get rid of them
