Looking for the Longest Lasting Facelift I Can Get - Costa Rica

I am 50 years old and now showing some signs of facial aging but still with some skin elasticity. After much research on line, I have chosen to go with Dr Lev for a full facelift and bleph. Tying up loose ends for a flight out of the U.S. and into Costa Rica to meet with Dr. Lev in October. I also plan to have some dental work completed prior to my surgery. I will be staying at Verdeza post recovery for approximately 2 weeks and 6 nights at the Marriott Residence Inn for some sightseeing and cosmetic dental work.

I have been corresponding with Didi, Dr Lev's U.S. coordinator, who has been very helpful .I will update further as the surgery date nears.

Vanity is a funny thing. My husband tells me he loves the way I look and there is no need to subject myself to some suffering. But when I look in the mirror, I think that improving my appearance will be so much more enriching and an empowering experience. This whole aging process of wrinkled skin, cheeks going south, eyelids looking sad is a concern.
I am ready to take the steps and have prepared obsessively to enhance my looks. So my journey begins. I will share to all those who are planning so that they maybe helped as I have been helped by the reviews and experience of those who bravely contributed their journeys on this site.
I have learned a lot from the reviews on Realself and their reviews have been invaluable.
I arrived Costa Rica on Oct 7th, a week earlier than scheduled, to site see and get some dental work done.
I was met by Dr Anglada's driver, Memo, at the airport and was taken to Hotel Alta in Escazu. The following day, Thursday, Memo was early to pick me up for my consultation. I have decided to receive dental implants and got Dr lev's okay to proceed with it. I am two days post up recovering from 2 implants and a tooth extraction. I felt no pain while in the dental chair including the administration of anesthesia. The hardest part was the bridge removal. 2 hours after, I was done. I went to bed with some pain and took Tramadol. The following morning I had no pain and saw Dr Castro for consult. I have 2 appointments next week for cleaning and crown pending status of mouth inflammation.
I have had some time to reflect and post my thoughts.
So far so good. I am very pleased with dr Anglada's infection control method while receiving the implants. I felt well taken care of and his entire team were wonderful. I will post pricing for my implants and dental work under another heading.

In talking with Dr Castro during my consult, I learned that he has had patients who have used Dr lev for facial surgeries and all have been very happy with their results. This little piece of information, cemented with great confidence my choice in going with Dr lev to perform my surgeries.
