Don't let the price scare you! You are buying...
WORTH IT$22,000
Don't let the price scare you! You are buying years of studies, practical experience, intensive research, a collection of pearls of knowledge, and most of all, the unique skills of an artist who attentively treats his subject as a work of art. At 62, I was uncomfortable with my aging skin and wished to turn the clock back 5 to 7 years if possible; I am a red head with very thin non elastic skin, and came with realistic expectations for my God given features and my age. Dr Rohrich listened to me first, and then examined my features, my skin, and also payed attention to who I was. That is why I call him an artist, a rare find in plastic surgery. His unique approach to every patient as an individual and a soothing presence, a caring smile made my decision easy! The price covered an upper and lower blepharoplasty, a full face AND neck lift, fat transfer, and laser resurfacing. He also agreed with my suggestion to omit a brow lift.
While recovering, I entertained myself by making a musical slide show of my progress; know that I did that without Dr. Rohrich's knowledge or approval: I did it for my own entertainment and for all of you who are on the fence. I hope that you enjoy it as much as I had fun making it.

Yesterday, May 15, 2012, as was going through security at the airport, the guard kept looking at my Driver's License, then me, over and over until I told him: ''Oh, I just had a face lift..He looked at me and said:'' You need to update your Driver's License picture!
Yeah!!!! I felt like giving him a big hug..but I behaved; not a good idea to touch security!

I forgot to mention that the price also included 2 nights in a beautiful hotel room associated with the hospital and the professional care of an attending nurse. One must also consider the surgery team as well as the services of Doctor Rohrich's anesthesiologist, and all the post op visits to his office

I'm a 61 yer old woman and just got back from Cancun. I had a few things done, face / neck lift, Blephaplasty, Rhinoplasty, & Tummy Tuck. I'm 1 month out. I stayed in a condo and thank god they put me with a room mate. It really helped me with my recovery while I was there for 2 1/2 weeks. I'm from Washington and she is from Texas & now we're emailing buddies with something in common. When I came across your video I just had to send it to her because we both know what you went threw. I was laughing pretty hard and because of the Tummy Tuck I was hurting pretty bad but your video was worth the pain. In order to comment on this site you have to log in and I told my friend I logged in wih a new user name, It's greenblackpurple because that's what my face looks like, still, after a month. I hope my results are going to be as wonderful as yours.

Great "Stage Name"...just love it. Do you mind sharing how much your procedures cost in Cancun. I realize that it's very difficult for ladies to leave their comfort zones and travel outside of the US for these procedures but I've been hearing for several years that Mexico and Brazil Plastic Surgeons offer very fine procedures/techniques at spectacular cost savings in US dollars. Thanks again for sharing your experience in Cancun. All the best, p. P.S. My full face and neck lift including Blephaplasty in San Antonio in 2000 cost $10,000 (my husband "negotiated" the fee with my plastic surgeon. I just had a mini face lift here in Asheville, NC, and paid $2900. That was three weeks ago and it
looks very, very good....it included neck and mid face...no eye work.

I got a very good deal down there and paid $10,500 for my 5 procedures & If I had stayed longer to do the breast lift I need & wanted it would have been $15,000. I thought that would have been way to much for my body to go through so I'll be going back in about a year, after I have paid all of this off and have what ever else I want done at that time.

You win first prize as far as how many procedures you went through! Wow! I hope that you are resting, promise? I love your name greenblackpurple. Very appropriate! How are you feeling?

Im feeling pretty darn good for everything I had done. I cleaned a house 2 Fridays ago and it took me 4 hours instead of the normal 2 hours so I am taking it easy, slow but sure, little by little. Everyone is different aheals at different levels. It also depends on what shape you where in before surgery. I had just lost 70 lbs. and exercised every day, especially for my core (tummy area) I wonder where a man woul be at this stage after surgery (5 proceedures)? I can't do the core (tummy) exercises I had been doing before surgery so the little bit of vacuuming I have been doing (pushing/pulling SLOWLY) has really helped. I know my limits and don't want to do any damage to my tummy tuck.
Did you have lumps, bumps, & hematoma's in your face & neck you had to deal with?
If so, what worked for you in your healing process & when was your surgery?

Hi! I was told not to do anything for 6 weeks!! I don't know how you found the energy to clean a house! I had bruising and inflammation and crusty skin from the laser treatment; I used Arnica Gel topically, (it felt so cool and soothing) and also took Arnica tablets, (very small white pills that melt under your tongue. Here is a link that discusses Arnica:

Congratulations on losing 70 pounds! Are you kidding me? That takes a lot of discipline! Be proud of yourself and more power to you.

Anne Marie, You look amazing. I so enjoyed your video. Before & after pictures are such encouragement. I had surgery 12/12/11. I like the results but I am not sure that they are real dramatic. I feel like I look more youthful but I am from a rural area where such pampering is nearly unheard of. I was at my winter residencce for 6 months & had my procedures done while there. Upon returning to my north home I get the feeling that people that I encounter see something different as I have had comments on my hair cut, & my great foundation make up, etc but they do not associate a possible face lift with what they see. That's OK ~ I feel that I appear more youthful & that's what counts.

Darto! You must look amazing and I suspect that your surgeon is very skilled. If others don't "notice" anything, wow!!!!! You are one of the lucky ones; we don't want to look like we just had a facelift, right? (Remember the dreaded "tunnel" look? ) They think that you look really good and can't pinpoint why! That is what I call a successful facelift. Bravo!!
May 23, 2012
Thank you, Anne Marie ~ That is the way I look at it. In my area of the country (rural) a facelift is just read about in "movie gossip magazines" (lol). We are a "little bit country". I know that my results look much as I had looked a number of years ago. That is what I see in the mirror. Sure nice not to have "turkey neck" & deep forehead wrinkle grooves. I would do it again tomorrow! My surgeon is in Phoenix/Scottsdale, AZ.
