Face lift medical tourism in Costa Rica

WORTH IT
It seems to be failing faster than I expected. Also It was almost like two different surgeons were working on the surgery. I did contact them about removing more skin from the upper eye lid after I felt everything had healed and sent pictures but the lady pointed out crows feet. I'm not sure that crows feet have anything to do with skin on the upper eyelid.

I wish you'd post a recent pic so we all could see for ourselves. I think you should communicate with Dr. Lev instead of a lady who was not your surgeon. Just a thought...
I'm not communicating with a lady. Just a thought....
Also, it is his advocate and she did talk to Dr. Lev. Hello! I wouldn't have posted this had I not communicated with them first!
OOPS. I didn't mean to ruffle your feathers. Thank you for clarifying that you did speak with Didi. Still, I wish you'd post pictures.
Thank you for the follow up after two years. YES, after two years, one would believe/think that your procedure would still be holding up. It would be good if you could show us some pix to see what the problem is. But than again, if he is retiring soon, maybe you won't be going to him for any corrections?? I do hope you will keep us advised to your situation and update your review.
You're gorgeous & look years younger. If you need your eyes done again (doesn't look like it to me) look at pics here of Dr Harley's patients. (forgot his first name) He's in Asheville, NC. I live in FL and retired from eye care business so have seen lots of eyes. That's who I'm considering consulting after cataract surgery in the fall. His patients seem to have very minor bruising after surgery and their facelifts & eyes look great. Also, TCA peels under eyes from a Dermatologist can make a noticeable improvement if needed. Thanks for posting your pics.
OMG. You look gorgeous. Like a movie star!
Your healing pics show that you heal rather quickly, too.
Good for you!
Enjoy your new face and life!

Three weeks and two day post surgery

The recovery process has been very quick. We stayed an extra week for a vacation. I was going to make another run by the doctor's office but the healing was going well. I would highly recommend Dr. Lev before he decides to retire. Top service. I did it at the clinic he and Dr. Green are very personable and fun professional people I feel confident they had two people watching me through the night. I stayed at Casa Mercedes and was very well taken care of. They were very kind. and helped through the whole process. Thank you, everyone, you are the best!

You are very pretty...congrats on your facelift success! Do you have any idea when Dr. Lev plans to retire?
Your results are amazing! Wow!
You look fabulous girl!!!!!! Are you going for the Mrs. Texas pageant???!! I'm just 16 days out but so happy I did it! Actually I wish I would have let Dr. Lev do my eyes instead of this turkey here in the US in July....
Lol Good Life!
Wow Ancient Angel! It's people like YOU that we show pics of and say " if I can go from THAT, to THAT...wouldnt I WANT TOO? " Wouldnt anyone want those fabulous results! Simply amazing! I looked at Dr.s In my neck of the woods and I never saw anyone do such stunning transformations! Dr. Levs the best. I happened to be the 1% who had a bump in the road, but that's the chance I was willing to take! Sorry I missed you at Mercedes went I went for a visit! The Lovely Lev girls are HOT!
You must be so happy the difference is astounding, you look fantastic

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.
