i have been following the same people, and checked on several other sites. Can't find anything but 5 stars. And his aftercare is great. I will follow your journey as you will be ahead of me. Where are you staying?

Vedeza, was thinking of moving to Che tica for the last week,but not sure yet. When are you going?

i am planning for Verdeza, too. Although, I'm saving enough to stay for 1 month, after reading so many reviews. I also live alone, so need the aftercare. Was debating last week at at Che Tica or? Would save about 500. I'm not going until summer, as LA is too hot, unbearable for a few months

I would love to stay a month,but budget can't afford it,and I really don't think my daughter would want to babysit my pets that long lol.

Just curious why are you going to Costa Rica if Dr. Harley is only 4 miles from you?
February 15, 2016
I really think I need to stay in a recovery place,as I live alone,plus I think I need more of a mid face lift.Dr Harley does amazing results though and is well known here!! I have been checking him out for a long time,but than decided on Costa Rica

Took pics without makeup under bright light,very scary! It seems when I turned 59,my entire face started to fall! Now I just have to figure out how to send them from my phone to the email.I'am so not tech savvy!

Those pictures without makeup and no smile are the ones that push us over the edge and into the hands of our doctors! We'll love having them to compare to afterward though.

You are so right Vivian!!! It made me just that much more determined to do something about it now before it gets worse! Lol
March 9, 2016
I am in the same boat. I hate looking in the mirror now, and even worse since seeing my pictures I just posted to Dr. Arguello 's site. Thankyou Vivien!
Anyway, you look beautiful to me, and after seeing and it is going to be hard to post my pictures, but I got this far from all the wonderful women on here. Waiting on price for facelift, neck lift, and breast lift. Eek!!! Lol
Will be following your results. I can't wait to see you and Vivian!
Hugs,

I know the feeling!! I took the pics with no make up , hair not done, not smiling looking absolutely horrendous!!!! I couldn't figure out how to post them with my iPhone or iPad until I actually started my review and then I figured it out. Wow, that was a hard thing to do!!!!
March 8, 2016
I agree with Leighanna that you look great now; I also understand, though, that YOU want changes! I wish you the best! I am trying to decide now whether to go local or go to the dr. you are going to or do this semi-locally. I have been reading great things about Dr. Arguello.
