Facelift Upper Lower Eyelids and Direct Brow Lift . Dr Lev Costa Rica, CR

After joining real self I was so impressed with Dr Lev's before and after photos and the never ending wonderful reviews he has had I decided that I wanted my facelift with him . I considered Dominic Bray but I felt his before and afters weren't dramatic enough for me ;I wouldn't want to meet my family and they just think I looked well rested . People in the uk seem to want very natural results and seem to be delighted when people don't realise they have had a facelift I can't see the point in that . If I can have surgey that will make me look Ten or fifteen years younger then I'm all for it . I would like to look as young as I possibly can . You get told to have realistic expectations but I have seen facelifts on here that have been so unbelievably good they have knocked twenty years off. So here I go fingers crossed I'm not at all frightened of the surgery I'm more frightened of the travel. I have read not to have a hand bag in Costa Rica and to carry a small amount of cash in a cheap wallet to give the pickpockets not to upset them when they accost you. I am travelling with my sixteen year old son and I'm worried how safe he'll be if he goes out in the day
Dr Lev's co ordinator Didi has been wonderful and she is there to answer your questions every step of the way as has Julie who has a review on real self from the uk who has had a facelift herself with Dr Lev a few months ago, she has gone out of her way to answer all the wiring money ,what money to take etc questions I have asked a truly lovely lady .

These pictures were taken less than ten years ago it is surprising how fast we can age.I would be delighted if i could look like this again ive kept my figure the same with kettleworx but as they say as you get older you have to choose between your face and your figure . I am fifty now by the way; shortly after these photos i had a lower face lift coronal brow lift and tca peel with Lawrence Kirwain a british surgeon who practices in America but comes over once a month anyway my problem is with wrinkling under my eyes and slight lax skin .But the only thing he suggested for under the eyes was a tca peel very painful by the way ;anyway it got rid of the wrinkles but about three months later they all came back and the lower facelift just removed my cheeks so that my nose looked more prominent and the coronal browlift to be honest he wanted me to have an endoscopic one but i read they only lasted five years so he suggested a coronal would last longer he explained it removed a band on your scalp but i didnt explore it enough and as such the scalp was pulled so tight i have lost most of my hair and the top of my head is narrower and my forhead much higher he is an excellent surgeon i believe he was Joan Rivers surgeon she often commented about him but i prefered my look before; I don,t think i needed any brow lift as i had no wrinkles in my forehead all my wrinkles are under my eyes

Flew in to Costa Rica last night after 27hrs travel Carlos from Vedeza was waiting outside the airport for me he speaks very good English and is a lovely guy. He drove me to Dr Lev's office today for appointment at 4.30 . Dr Lev and I have decided on upper and lower eyelids ,face and neck lift and direct brow lift through the eyebrows on the way home Carlos can't understand how calm I am he said everyone else has been nervous . well I had my total spine from neck to bum with titanium rods and screws in2013 nothing will make you nervous after that . Feeling a bit sick though as the food at Verdeza is lovely but a bit too rich for what I normally eat at home . Well Dr lev has made it very clear about the scar with the eyebrow lift but the scar looks minimal to me . Well girls off I go wish me luck and say goodbye to my old face and roll on the new me
