WORTH IT$10,000

Pros - Great Surgeon, Recovery and ound the clock Care for two weeks in a clinical setting with no real pain, only some discomfort, the incredible improvement in my appearance even after only 4 weeks

Cons - Slowly recovering movement in left eyebrow, other numbness (especially in right earlobe), though everything is tingling now, which seems to indicate nerves reconnecting. After repositioning brow into correct positiion, my previous attempts to shape my brows don't work any more, and so look strange. Have to wait for them to grow back out.

Why I did it - At 58, I was back on the job market. Had a great interview, only to be told later (after they saw me) that I was't right for the position. Three weeks after the procedures, I aced another interview for a similar job and got an offer. I really like how I look now. I had lots of loose skin over my eyes and neck, and now it's all gone. I will post before and after shots at about the three month point. Still have chin and eyelid swelling, but everything is healing quite well.

Question: Are the scars behind ears and in the front visible as that is my main concern because unlike females, men find it hard to disguise these incisions. Also, what type of brow lift did you have and are there any visible scars? The result looks great from photos and the price is remarkable compared to U.S and U.K. It would have cost twice as much easily in the west.Again, if you don't mind can you offer input on scars. Thanks.

6 weeks out, eyebrows are both functioning now....

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.
