After months of research, I selected Dr. Alejandro Lev to do my facelift. At first I was skeptical about going out of the US for surgery. However, I was so impressed by Dr. Lev's work, all the photos I've seen show awesome results, and his patients have written such rave reviews about Dr. Lev and their journey to Costa Rica. My surgery is scheduled for October 13th and I will be in Costa Rica from October 11 until October 29th.
I made contact with Didi, Dr. Lev's US liaison, who has been very helpful. After sending my photos to Didi, she said Dr. Lev recommended a lower facelift and neck lift. I also have a consultation scheduled with Dr. Rubinstein at Prisma Dental for possible veneers. I will be staying at the Verdeza recovery facility for the first 8 days and then I'll be moving to Casa Mercedes for the remaining 11 days.
I've learned so much from reading the reviews of Realself community members and I hope by sharing my experience I will be able to help others who are considering taking this journey. I'm very grateful to be able to connect with other men and women who are supportive. I suspect I'm like many others heading down this road, I've become pretty much obsessed with reading about the journeys of those who have gone before me.
I'm posting pics of just my lower face hoping no one will recognize me because I live in a small community and suspect if people found out I am doing this, they would be judgmental. I have only told my husband. Shortly after I met him about 8 years ago, I told him that I planned to have a facelift someday, so he would not be shocked when the time came. I just turned 59 and the time has come. He has been awesome and very supportive.

Safe & Sound in CR
My trip to CR went off without a hitch. I flew out at 2 pm yesterday and arrived in CR a little before noon today. Carlos from Verdeza was waiting at the airport for me. Everyone here at Verdeza has been very friendly and it is a nice new facility. I have 9 am consult at Prisma Dental and 4 pm consult with Dr. Lev. tomorrow. I'm really looking forward to meeting Dr. Lev. I've heard so many great things about him. I think I'm going to pack it in early tonight, pretty whipped out. Good Night.

I think both docs are great. I've been following JacqE and she had awesome results from Dr. Arguello. I'll document and post my progress.

I have never been to Costa Rica before. I don't think I will see much of it this time so I think I will go back maybe next year with my husband.
