It's been six months since my face lift. Still have a little numbness. If it goes away great and if it doesn't, it's a small price to pay (pardon the pun) for having a totally changed appearance! I told the person who colors my hair about the facelift etc. and showed her pictures of how I looked before. She could not believe the difference and she has seen a lot of customers with facelifts. I'm really really happy with the results and never regret having had the procedures done. I'm happy to answer any questions and wish everyone good luck on their journey.

Can you provide us a complete total of costs for surgery type, stay, private nurse, food & airfare?
I would appreciate it!
I need full facelift, neck, mid face pull up, eyes top/bottom (pest-ions? Festoons?) eyebrow lift (pulled on each side not the radical old one that ruins the hair growth on the top!). The skin needs to be detached from the muscle and pulled up! Otherwise it doesn't last too long!!!
I have a quote from a plastic surgeon that specializes in the face here in FL but wanted to see a few other plastic surgeons for their quote.
Thank you!

surgery and dr fees were less than $10,000; verdeza was about $2000; airfare was about $400; food was included at verdeza; private duty nurse was $200 and hospital was around $4500.

Was the cost 15 grand for just the surgery or did you figure in your other expenses into that, ie: airfare, recovery center..........Thanks. This is so on my bucket list to do. You look AMAZING.

15,000 was for everything - surgery, hospital, transportation, verdeza, etc. I might have included dental work in the total - can't remember. Didi will give you a realistic price. I was going to have my eyes done and didn't, but did have a chin implant which increase original price. thank you for your kind words. dr. lev is AMAZING!!!

How is your dental work holding up you had done by Dr Rubenstein? I may consider her too or a couple other Costa Rican doctors when I redo my full mouth veneers. Too pricey in USA! Shame we have to go abroad just for dental care. :( These dentist doing cosmetic restorations really should consider how much money they are losing now to medical tourism. You look amazing! I love Dr Lev makeovers!!! Thanks for the review and info.

very happy with my results. get a lot of compliments. 95% of numbness is gone. definitely worth the money and the recovery. my expectations were too high and I didn't realize that my face had to settle into what I actually will look like. Somehow I expected to come home from CR without swelling or bruising!
