My progress to this point:
The numbness has begun to fade near my ears, though I suspect that some will remain on the right side permanently, but we shall see at one year. My right brow is working normally again. Swelling persists under my chin from the implant, but I don't expect it to completely recede before the one year point.
My lipo was well done, but let me warn you, it is not a license to overeat. I've been picking up some fat in my lipo'ed areas, I took the time to actually count my calories during the last week, and have discovered that I was eating more than I thought. So now, it is back on a diet for me!
My fat transfers to my cheeks and under eye sockets have been mostly absorbed, so I am going to journey back to India in January for some touch-up work, and some laser on my wrinkly neck skin that was not addressed by the face/neck lifts. Also, I have some lines on my forehead that I believe would benefit by the laser. I am very much looking forward to see my friend Sammy and his staff!

As an observer, I think you look remarkably better. How do you feel? Any choking feeling? Did you stay for many weeks after the surgery for "after-care" or go back to the US fairly quickly?

Nice work. You really look great. I know for those fat transfers that they never last even with the top physicians. You are an inspiration.

What a great change. I had fat grating done in my nasal labial folds and under the cheek orbital bone. It is now 6 months and still looks great. Dr took the fat from my eyelids.
Had mudflap eyelids.

Did you go to Mexico and if so are you happy with the work? If so would like more information. Thanks

Did you have a coordinator and what was the name of the place and did the 10,000 include all costs?

6 weeks out, eyebrows are both functioning now. Haven't noticed any improvement in numbness (though I occasionally get some itching), but swelling has gone down considerably under my chin. Scars are getting much redder (as expected), so am religiously using Kelo Cote.
BTW, I wanted to mention an experience while I had at the clinic. One day, I was getting uncomfortable and began to panic a little. After an hour or so, the nurse came by to check on me, and I mentioned that I was in pain and feeling afraid. Doc came right away and chided me for not complaining earlier. A little anxiolytic and pain meds, and I was feeling great. It wasn't like in the US where one has to practically beg for something to relieve the pain. I did get get addicted to anything I was given, and I really appreciate the way I was treated with respect and consideration. I would NEVER have these procedures done, and then just go home to recuperate. I don't know how things are done in other overseas locales, but for my money, India was freaking great!

Aloha Gavrick!
You look great! How did your facelift hold up as it has been 5 yrs now. Did the fat transfer hold? Please feel free to private message me as well by clicking on my name (I think).ahah I am considering Dr. Sameer for my facial work. Would also love to throw in a little mid section liposculpture as well. I sent doc my photos today so I'm excited to hear back from him. I hope your enjoying your results still.
I will definitely stay 2 weeks at least most likely 3 weeks.
I can't wait! I have to find out the best time of year to go. Thank you for your review. It helps.
