Just paid my deposit today for face, neck, upper...

Just paid my deposit today for face, neck, upper and lower eye lift with Dr Lev on 23rd April 2015. I am excited but nervous too, but have wanted this for many years now. I just need to bite the bullet and do it. Not sure where to stay just yet for recovery, am looking at Las Cumbres and Verdaza. I will post my journey on here, think it will be a big help to me as not many people know what I am doing.

1 month to go.......

Well 1 month to wait to the date today till D day lol. I have booked my flight last night and decided to stay at the Verdeza for the 15 nights I am in Costa Rica. I have provisionally booked the room but have yet to pay for that. It is costing $6400 for the surgery, $1930 for Verdeza and $900 for flight. I just hope the results are worth it. Still excited but do get a little scared now and again when reality kicks in what I am actually doing. 1 thing that is bothering me a little is when I go for my consultation, the day before surgery, I do not want the doc to go into great detail and tell me exactly what he is going to do. I think I would be ok with I am going to cut you here, here and here but if he starts going on about draping my skin away from my face etc it will freak me out lol. I am a type of girl, don't tell me just do it with an excellent result lol.

Questioning myself today

Had a funny day today, seemed to be questioning myself quiet a bit "what am I doing". Only had a whelm of this feeling since booking and it has usually gone as quick as it came but today, seemed to be every time it came in to my head. No excitement neither, like usual. Am I just having 1 of them days lol ? x

Well, what can I say about the wonderful Dr Lev. Firstly I agree with a lot of other people's comments that he is 1 true artist. He is a lovely person and so is his 'side kick' Dr Greenwood. They both made me feel at ease and brought me back to the land of the living. They are 2 exceptional people that do exceptional work. They match well as a team. Dr Lev has been in the industry for 25 years and I felt I had 100% trust in him. Anything I asked he had the answer for. I had to return for a minor fix on 1 eyelid and Dr Lev was on it straight away. I would highly recommend Dr Lev and Dr Greenwood for your surgeries. 10 out of 10 for me. I would certainly return to Dr Lev if I was to have any further work.
