Lower SMAS Facelift and Neck Lift - London, GB
ORIGINAL POST
I had been researching neck and lower face lift...
WORTH IT$16,000
I had been researching neck and lower face lift surgeons for the past 12 months. I only had consultations with two surgeons who both seemed equally excellent but I finally decided on Mr Rajiv Grover of Harley Street, London, UK. . He has been named by Tatler magazine for best face lift surgery for the past three years. At my consultation he tended to underplay precisely what he would be able to do, but his before and after photos convinced me he was the plastic surgeon for me,
I was worried about the general anaesthetic as I had previously been very sick and dizzy afterwards but apparently I am allergic to the morphine used. Mr Grover always works with the same anaesthetists, and a different painkiller was used during surgery and I recovered with no ill effects whatsoever!
I had a two night stay at the King Edward VII hospital and Mr Grover visited me each morning to see how I was doing. He was pleased to tell me that the surgery went very well and he was able to do more than he had anticipated when he first saw me. He believes I will be very happy with the final results and so do I..
I will post some photos as soon as my computer is working properly.

Its had to believe that you had surgery just a few days ago - amazing recovery. I can only hope that when my time comes I will be just as lucky to look that good in a few days time. Good Luck.

Thank you for your support and I hope you have an easy recovery, as I have, so far! The hospital stay for 2 1/2 days was well worth the wonderful nursing care and great food!! Well done for making the decision to go ahead anyway. You will be pleased once you see the results. Are you having a general anaesthetic or local with sedation?

You look beautiful...Can't believe your age. I'm 78 and hope to gain the ability to look 68 or less at this time. Did you have any fat transfer at this time?

Wonderful results...Do you happen to have any pictures taken before?

The before photos are right at the start. I did not have any fat transfer, just removal of jowls and loose neck skin with facial muscles and tissue lifted. Good luck if you go for the same surgery, I am sure you will be pleased with the result of a good surgeon.

Amazing results! Did you pay £16,000? If you can bear it, would you post a photo of your scars in close up showing the hairline above the ear? That would be great as that is the part that really concerns me having this procedure done. I would like to see how it affected your natural hairline - did it recede back, and if so how much hair did you lose to that area? Or is the scar running inside the hairline leaving the hairline as it was? Before and after of this area would be fab if you have it? Happy healing and please keep us updated on your progress?

The surgeon removed the bandage in the afternoon of the second day and the nurse washed and conditioned my hair, leaning backwards, as in the hairdressers.

Mr Grover, my PS, came to see me the same day after surgery, when I was settled in my room. Also he called round on the morning of the second and third days before he went to the operating theatre.

Feeling a bit better after hair washed and surgical gown removed. Some makeup works wonders too!
