57 Year Old Going for 2nd Face Lift - Costa Rica

Last day here! Can't believe it went so quickly! But here are some of the pros/cons of my experience here. PROS: Best choices: Dr Lev and Casa Mercedes. Dr. Lev is an artist. Don't doubt it. He has the magic hands. He's caring, thoughtful and empathic. He has a calculating detail for everything. I could tell before he even finished introducing himself that he'd already evaluated what he wanted to do with my face. Everything he suggested is the same thing I wanted. The after care is just as perfect. He takes his time to make sure your comfortable. Now, I wouldn't be fair not to include Dr. Greenwood the anesthesiologist (sp). He's amazing! He was truely interested in me. made me comfortable from the start. Got my vain started first time with little discomfort. First time ever for me to wake up after surgery with NO sickness! He and Dr. Lev grew up together and are the perfect team! I just love those guys! Casa Mercedes. Pay attention because this is of the utmost importance! If I had not stayed with Mercedes, I most surely ended up in the hospital when I got sick from the pain pills. I was dehydrating quickly. Had it not been for Mercedes rapid response and quick thinking. My health would have been in serious trouble. She only works by referrals and accepts up to 3 patients at a time. You get three wonderful home cooked meals a day, a hospital bed and your private bathroom. She personally takes care of you. You get picked up and returned to the airport. Rides to D. Lev's office but I've been walking since day three post-op as it's only two blocks away. She makes is fresh from the market that day! The fruit smoothies are wonderful. When you come from the airport she welcomes you, shows you around and introduces the other patients. Her maids are just as caring and loving. You get a specialized treatment you won't find at any other recovery facility! That's a fact! If your lucky enough to get a room here, Mercedes and her son welcome you into her home and you will feel part of her family. So surgery is so much more than just the surgery. You must do your research on the procedures and doctors, but getting good aftercare is imperative to the final results of your plastic surgery. Cons: I didn't get to stay in Costa Rica long enough to gotta come back! Ask if you have questions but please read entire blog because you'll most likely find your answers there. If I helped only one person from writing this, then it was worth it! Thanks for reading

feeling good ladies, I see Dr. Lev tomorrow for the last time and go home on Thursday.
