Still loving it

WORTH IT$9,300
Yep I did the right thing for me. This may not be for everyone but for me it is the best thing I could have ever done for myself. Love visiting Costa Rica would definitely go back! If you’re thinking it might be good for you too then look into it.

Almost a year out and still loving it!

Pros love the look I didn't want it over done and I didn't want every wrinkle removed. I wanted to look fresh and not tired and that is exactly what was delivered by Dr Lev!Pro Mercedes place to stay recover and feel fabulous!!! She is the best!!!!!! Spend the money it is worth ever penny!Cons when you lose weight is isn't good for a face lift. I did not try to lose weight I got sick. I am better and at almost what I was pre surgery.

WILL you go back and get a new facelift? Or once you gained weight back did it just look good again. I 'm trying to lose weight now. I need to lose 10-15 lbs. I sent you a private msg. Everyone on here has 5* reviews so I don't know how to find and choose a Dr. I'm thinking of Costa Rica or Tijuana for a face/neck lift. I almost feel that I should make two trips 1 first just to interview and see what's up at their clinic. It seems that CR has such excellent colleges that it'd be the place to go. Questions: How did you decide on this dR? Since they all on realself have 5* or close to it. How much was the surgery? Did you need full anesthesia or was it just enough to keep you out? Do you know how long the surgery took? How many days until you could take care of yourself? Did someone check in on you the first night? How long do they want you to stay in town? Could you if you wanted to move to a different hotel after the first night? I'm also nervous after meeting a lady in my state who has a crooked face after a facelift in the US. I don't know what she looked like before but this was not a good look. Thank you for sharing
All of these are super great uetions that I would love for ou to answer please
Mine was a double hernia inside my stomach had nothing to do with Mercedes place.
Also ecoli is something you can pick up anywhere anytime and you are slandering someone’s businesses without proof I hope you have a good legal team.

1e month out I made it! So happy I went on my journey - I love it!

I never thought after 1 month it would look this great. I was prepared to be super swollen bruised etc for at least a month! I can go out in public and feel confident!! So Happy Mercedes' and Dr Lev took such good care of me !

Linsey,
I just hopes it helps someone make the right decision for them. As for me worth it ! Love it!
everyone is different I brought picture of what I used to look like.. bone structure is there but rest was um scary.. no more rest bi$ch face lol.
You look at least 25 years younger, impressive, congratulations!
that what my brother said and instantly said he couldn't remember what I look like before because this is who he grew up with.. ill take it !
May I ask what exactly you had done and how much it cost including your stay? I am doing my reserch now. thanks in advance!
9300 for full face lift neck lift eyes and brow lift. Everyone is different
I paid like 150 a night for Mercedes’ place. Well worth it they feed you take care of you and take back and forth and take care all your needs. Meds etc they get them for you you pay for them. I stayed 12 days however I wish I had stayed another week. All in 12 k I think but know this is everything meds stay doctor Lev travel etc. I could have gone cheaper or more expensive but Mercedes is just what I needed if you need more information please let me know. Hugs you won’t regret it! I sure don’t. I haven’t felt this good in years!
Plus plane trip
Paid 10,000. For the same, plus airfare , and 175 a night for 2 wks 2800. About 15,000 total
