He's Simply the Best, Better Than All the Rest!

Another thing I forgot to mention is that my neck was absolutely awful. It hung down like a turkey neck and I couldn't wear my hair up anymore. I also want to mention that the price of my surgery would have been at least double if not triple the price in Beverly Hills.

I forgot to mention in my previous review why I decided to have a deep plane face and necklift. Over the years my face shape changed from heart shaped/oval to almost rectangular. Jowls had started to appear on either side of my chin and pulled down the corners of my mouth, one side more so than the other. I saw women around town with very obviously pulled faces and really didn't want that look, however I didn't like the saggy look of my own face. I am now five weeks post-op and feeling terrific. Mr Ion took into account that one side of my face needed more work than the other, probably because I sleep on that side, and lifted everything so gently that my face does not look pulled, the corners of my mouth are back to where they should be and all is perfectly balanced. Regarding the scars. I have extremely fine scars in front of and behind my ears, also very tiny ones at my temples. They are fading daily and last night I went out with my hair up, fluffed the sides a little and they were not noticeable. My friends and family think I look fabulous and one of them has already booked her consultation with Mr Ion with the idea of doing the surgery in June or July. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart Lucian Ion, once again you have worked your magic.

Why would anyone fly from Beverly Hills, "the plastic surgery capital of the world" to London UK to have plastic surgery you may ask? Because Lucian Ion is simply the best!
From the moment you meet Lucian Ion, you know that you are in safe hands. I first "met" Mr Ion in 2017 when I had a video consultation about my badly botched rhinoplasty. Doctors in the US didn't want to even attempt to try to fix it, goodness knows I searched, and having found others online in a similar situation, I was referred to him after he repaired and restored another with a badly botched nose. Noses are particularly tricky and he somehow managed to fix mine.
The years rolled on and it became more and more apparent I needed a neck and lower face lift so off I went to London again and could not be happier.
Mr Ion's attention to detail, his kindness and compassion are unmatched. We went over the game plan in tremendous detail and the date was set. The Weymouth Street Hospital is walking distance from Mr Ion's office and it is where he performs surgery. I spent a night in the hospital where I was given round the clock care. Because Mr Ion is so incredibly gentle with his patients, I didn't feel any pain at all after the surgery, just a mild headache through the night which was quickly taken care of by the amazing staff at the hospital. Shout-out to Suzie-joon and Arden, my nurses during my stay, they were wonderful. Mr Ion visited me the following morning and after he left I decided to go for a walk around town. Two days later I was on a train seated opposite two ladies who could not keep their curiosity to themselves and asked if I had done something to my face. The white bandage around my face gave me away. I told them in detail that I had a deep plane lower face and neck-lift just two days before and they were astonished that I was out and about and clearly not suffering. They asked for his contact information. One week later I had the stitches removed. There was very little bruising under my chin, just a little puffiness under my cheek-bones which dissipated over the next three or four days. I was ready to return to the US and work. The cost of the surgery, which included Mr Ion's fee, the operating room, anesthesia and an overnight stay in the hospital was around $24,000. Regardless of cost, I wouldn't even consider letting anyone else touch my face.
