Deep Plane Face Lift, Deep Plane Neck Lift and Blephoplasty

Since I was young I always had genetic bags under my eyes. This is something I wanted to get fixed as I felt like I always looked tired. I had my consultation with Dr. Quiroz after sending him photos of my face. After talking through some concerns I had, which included my under eye bags, lines around my mouth and general “sagging” he made recommendations. He recommended a deep plane face and neck lift and a Blephoplasty. WOW! A lot to think about. After doing some additional research I decided to move forward with his recommendations. Deep plane face lifts look more natural. I was a little nervous about going to Mexico for my plastic surgery, luckily my mom agreed to come with me. My mom and I flew to San Diego and Mr. Quiroz staff from Vida Plastic Surgery picked us up and took us to the facility. The facility included four floors, reception, the spa, recovery area and the surgery floor. I was really impressed how organized everything was for my procedure. After getting my operation my mom and I stayed in the recovery floor for 5 nights. Although the photos look painful I was very comfortable during my time in recovery. One thing to remember when you get a facelift is that you have to sleep upright for about two weeks. If you don’t your face will get really swollen! After the five nights my mom and I traveled home for the rest of my recovery. I work remote so planned on returning to work after two weeks. I didn’t actually return till three weeks as I still wasn't feeling 100% and my job requires lots of Teams meetings. Waiting for the swelling to go down and not feeling like yourself for about a month was the hardest part. Like more mental than painful. After three weeks I was able to schedule an appointment with my primary care provider to get my stitches out. I’m writing this and showing picture from about 2 months after my surgery. I still have numbness on my lower face, which isn’t painful, just feels weird. Honestly the recovery was a little harder than expected but I would definitely do it again. For me going to Mexico for the procedure was a great experience.
