50 Year Old Face Refresh

About 10 years ago I looked into getting an eyelid lift and never went through with it. Meanwhile, gravity started doing its thing pulling my skin down around my jowls an droopy neck. I consulted with a few well regarded ps in New York City, which were out of my range. Quotes were around $28000. So I expanded my search to Cancun and discovered Dr Carmona. With the very affordable price of 6000. For lower facelift, and upper and lower bleph. The process was very easy. I was charged a 200 deposit fee and booked the procedure. I had to reschedule because my passport did not come in time and Danny was very accommodating in rescheduling.

Arturo from shape and Beauty picked me up at the air port and brought me to all my appointments. He was very sweet and encouraging even in my lowest moments.

I ended up bleeding quite heavily during the face lift and developed a huge hematoma in my cheek. The swelling was intense and uncomfortable but not painful.

Overall I am happy with the procedure. Dany was very helpful and Dr Carmona is a facial expert. 10 days later I am still quite swollen, but My face is looking better day by day .

Thank you for sharing your experience. How was hematoma handled. How was your flight back?

Hi dr Carmona said the hematoma will be re-absorbed in the skin. I originally scheduled my flight to leave 4 days after surgery which was too soon for me. I stayed a full week and the flight was perfectly fine. I want to post photos but haven’t been able to figure it out.

I'm looking into scheduling appointment with this doctor. Was he in touch with you with hematoma and helping you resolve the issue?

Dr Carmona said that I have to wait do the hematoma to be re-absorbed by my body. I am a month post surgery and still a bit swollen but results are looking good. Unfortunately some people can be swollen for 3 months. You need patience. I am trying to post photos

@8pickles how are you doing? Are you still satisfied with the procedure?
I’m considering surgery and just wondering if you would still recommend it?
