Dry eyes are 99.9% gone. Occasionally if I am super tired, they feel a little dry. I can also tell that my eyes are still healing. I think that everything is still healing :)

Hello, Who was the dr in Costa Rica? I'm trying to decide from Dr Lev, Dr Arguello? I want to go to the best plastic surgeon there. I appreciate any info and/or suggestions you can give me. There are no pics here for me to see you. Thank you much!

Still numb around the ears. Scars are healing well. Eyes are almost totally back to normal. Just a teeny bit of dryness. It was worth it!!

I think that it would have been way harder if I didn't know the country as well as I do and if I didn't speak spanish, but sooo many good reports from friends helped me to decide to go.

Thanks girl! I want to see how u are too :)

Hey, you look like a 'fresh outta school' med student!!! So glad to hear things are getting back to normal with the eyes. I think the numbness seems to be pretty common after all of these procedures. It's nice to hear you decided everything was worth while :) I did my hair last Friday and will be putting up a review once I get caught up with work and I'll let you know. Keep smiling!!!

Awesome!!! What dentist did your sis use? Didn't she have some dental work done? My mom is interested.
June 5, 2015
No, she had the chest and face done - no teeth, so can't help you there. There was a couple at Las Cumbres at the same time that were doing the teeth, but I don't know who they saw. It seems like they really have great deals on the dental work

thank you! I am starting to see a good difference from before. It sure was rougher than I anticipated though :)

Thank you!!! That may be the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me :) I will post some "normal me" pics sometime soon!

Boy, that hematoma cleared up nicely - so glad to hear your eyes are doing better. Ericka got a small area about an inch in front of one of the incisions by the ear that had a raised, reddened area. She's on Clindamycin for a week so hopefully that will fix things up. We're off to Mexico on Saturday for a 'real' vacation! Take care and say hi to N. for us!
May 9, 2015
Thank you!!! I wonder if it was a stitch that she had? The scars in my hairline are way bigger than the ones on my face, and I am glad they are easy to hide. In the right lighting I can still see a tiny shade of blue where the hematoma was. The incision on that side is a little more pink, the skin a little more numb, but I think I am the only one who notices :) Hope you lovely ladies are doing well! And I hope your hair is long and gorgeous and THICK! :)

Looking great!!! Who was your doctor?
May 9, 2015
Dr. Rashi Rosenstock did my face. Bothe he and his partner Jose cohen did breasts, tummy and lipo which I have reviewed in my mini tummy tuck revision. Long story :)
May 7, 2015
Wow, just read your journey, thanks for sharing. You look beautiful :-)
May 9, 2015
THank you! I am so grateful that the little bothersome complications are resolving a little bit day by day
May 7, 2015
you look really nice!!! Did you have your upper and lower eyes done?
May 9, 2015
I did. He did not take out fat pads on the lower though, just a little skin and then did a lateral canthopexy.
