WORTH IT
For several years I've been researching different doctors in the United States and doctors abroad for a facelift. I found Dr. Alejandro Lev from Costa Rica. I've been reading about him over the years and decided he was going to be my surgeon based on all the great reviews he had. Dee Dee is his patient coordinator, everything you do has to go through her. She has a website that is very helpful and may answer any questions you may have. I was asked to take pictures for Dr. Lev, so he could examine them to see if I would be a good candidate. When he excepted me as a patient, I was asked to wire 1,000.00 deposit, which I was totally comfortable with. I set up my appointment months later because I also had gastric bypass in Mexico and wanted to even out my weight before having the facelift. I will be posting on my Gastric Bypass journey in another area.

I have a notebook started with after pictures, but I will place them here also. I'm 7 days out. On the first day, I don't remember much. I was well taken care of by Dr. Lev's staff. Day 2 still a little blurry, day 3 I went out for a bit with Mercedes driver I think. I'm getting my days mixed up. I know that evening I felt very tight and cranky so I took my meds and went to bed.

WOWEEE! Once the bruising & swelling goes down you're going to look gorgeous. Your neckline & jawline are perfect. Your eyes are pretty. I'm happy for you.

That's going to heal fabuously. What was the cost if you don't mind sharing? I'm trying to compare U.S. prices. Feel free to inbox me if you'd prefer to share the cost in that manner.

No, I don't mind, it was 7,500. I had upper and lower eyes full neck and face. I didn't need a brow lift at this time. :-)

I get the staples and stitches out today I'm very happy about that. I'm uploading pictures that I took 12 days after my surgery. I don't know why they are turning out sideways they didn't start out that way. This web site is difficult.

Your before and after transformation is AMAZING. I think you were one day ahead of me. Staples coming out tomorrow! Yikes. More pain!
