WORTH IT$10,100
Here's picture one week post op of face/neck lift. Things just don't look right even with the swelling. Right ear is a flap of skin.... not sure why its's there. Anther concern i have is that the left ear lobe attached higher to the side of face vs the rift side. Not sure why the bottom of the ear lobe is attached to the side of the face when it wasn't before.

One week out...Hummm it doesn't look great but it's still early. Hopefully the ear swelling will settle down an you can see what they will truly look like. Your incision under your chin is longer than mine...That might be a good thing, since my new PS says my muscles under the chin were not sewn tight enough...so since your incision is longer hopefully yours were sewn more...I have pictures not great ones but one that was taken when I returned which was on the 12 day post op...

Hello Css3, The dr. Did do the revision on the middle part just above the belly button. It could be better and one day i'll have another dr. fix it up so it looks better. Overall its still better than before so, can't complain too much.

Did you go back for your face/chin lift???

Yes, I actually just got back from having my face/neck lift, breast implants and the revisIon to the upper stomach area. I had surgery July 3rd with Dr Quiroz at CosMed. Dr Quiroz did a wonderful job on the breast implants. To be honest I'm a little concerned with the face/neck lift. A couple things are off (don't look right). I am pretty swollen in the face area and the ears, so it'll be a little while for the swelling to go down and I am able to see the final results. As of right now I can't really give an opinion on the face/neck lift. I want to be fair and give it time to heal before passing judgement.   I will get pictures posted and try to post new ones each week.

Overall I was pretty happy with the face/neck lift. Although it should have been pulled a lot tighter, I did get rid of my jowls, and I don't have any unsightly scaring, no one can tell I had a facelift, even other Plastic Surgeons...not sure if that means because little to no change or that it was done so well, they can't tell...I am hoping that some fillers will help with all the lines on my face that are still there...It takes 6 months to really see the full effect of the face lift...I would love to see your pictures!

It's been 5 months since my PS with Dr Quiroz. Life is wonderful. I have posted some before and after photos. Don't be discouraged by the scare going up the middle of my stomach. Do to my apple shape it was best to do surgery this way to get a flatter stomach. I'm going back in July for neck/face lift and breast implants and during that time the Dr. will also be doing a revision on the area just above the belly button to make more even and flatter.
