You look fantastic.. I would have never considered India for a face lift. Did you consider other countries such as Malaysia , Korea , Vietnam. Is India more affordable ?

Yes I checked out Istanbul, Mexico, Thailand and Brazil before deciding on India. I contacted each of these countries but Dr Sameer in India was the only doctor who responded to my inquiry, all the others were their administrations. I still felt India was too far and I was apprehensive about what kind of doctors were there. Education, experience, modern equipment etc. I researched every country and every doctor's qualifications before deciding on India. Of course, no regrets, hands down the best doctor in my opinion out there!!!!!

Hi Flyingsolo have you checked out my review? I'm here right now with our fabulous Dr Sameer. His clinic is so busy at the moment with people from all over. My facelift is perfection. Please have a peek. And thank you for posting your review all those months ago. You and Aussie gran got me onto researching Dr Sameer Karkhanis in Mumbai.

Hi flying solo, thank you for posting your journey. I'm hoping to have a full facelift with my top eye lid done, breast implants and lipo. How long was your actual flying time ? I live in Toronto and to fly from here is 15hours in the air, I wondered if that would be detrimental to my recovery. How long did you stay in Thane. I'm hoping two weeks, and wondering if that would be long enough.

You look gorgeous by the way. I'm really happy for you. Thx

6 months later, loving everything about procedure. If you are undecided, spend the extra dollars and go to India!!!! Top notch surgeon, but affordable prices.

I think,you had a very good result but because you blacked out your eyes for some strange reason, people cannot really get a good sense of your outcome. You were very pretty before your procedure so I can only imagine how pretty you are now.

Wow, you really do look great; your chin scar is almost invisible and I can't see anything at all in the front of your ears. When you say "full facelift", does that mean you had your brow lifted too? Because of your positive results, I'm now considering India. Congratulations :)

Hello Maurdian, I asked Dr Sameer if I had a full facelift and he said yes, but in all honesty I think he said this to justify the cost. I only had a lower facelift, nothing was done to my eyes or brow lift, my neck and jowl line were the only things that got adjusted, but I think he did a great job and was ok with what he charged me. I think when he spends extra time in surgery he considers that a full facelift. Either sayi love the great job he did, there are so many sad stories on here of people getting botched jobs, that you really need to find a skilled surgeon and Dr Sameer is one of the best in my opinion. Good luck and let me know what your decision is.

The doctor called it a full face lift but I think that is just for billing reasons. I did absolutely nothing to my eyes or brow. All that was done was just jaw line and neck. This doctor is fabulous, I would 100% recommend going to India, only positive feedback .
