Tomorrow it will be exactly a year since my face and neck lift with Dr Kremer. How the time has flown by! I’m still thrilled with the results. I just took and uploaded several photos without make-up in order to conduct a direct comparison with the photos I took just prior to surgery, also without makeup. Really tried to get similar camera angles too. I can’t believe the difference! Dr Kremer has done an outstanding job and I wouldn’t hesitate to have further surgery with him if/when the time comes. You do have to be patient during the healing process and I found during both my surgeries (had my upper lids done by Dr Kremer several years ago) that lumps and bumps come up and then flatten out over several weeks as the body heals itself. You also have to be realistic too, I was 54 when I had the surgery and I will never again look like I’m 34, now I just look awesome for my age. The surgery has given me lots more confidence and I can highly recommend Dr Kremer. No-one has guessed I’ve had a face/neck lift I just get comments about how well I look.
Once again, thank you to the Realself community, I received such encouragement and advice from reading other peoples posts that I wanted to upload my own experience.

6 month post surgery review.
foocjdMay 19, 2019
It’s 6 months since my TBT face and neck lift so thought I’d give you an update, can’t believe how the time has flown by! I’m ecstatic, no more jowls and I look refreshed and natural. I saw my parents over Easter (they don’t know I’ve had surgery and neither of them guessed) both remarked how well I looked. The perfect result!
My incisions have healed beautifully, I’m still applying Dermatrix silicone gel and will continue until the tube runs out but doubt it’s necessary any more.
I found the whole process from the original consultation, actual surgery and healing stages very easy. I did nothing special just followed Dr Kremer’s instructions. The only things I purchased were a wedge pillow, baby toothbrush, baby shampoo and Dermatrix to use on the incisions 6 weeks post op. For the first week I ate soft foods and by the second week started daily walks. That was it, all very simple! As I’d had previous surgery on my eyes I knew what to expect and was therefore extremely relaxed and realistic with regards to bruising and swelling. I also knew the incisions would be pink and raised in some areas during the initial healing stages, they are now barely perceivable. I’ve added some current photos so you can see the results at 6 months post surgery.
Thank you for all the kind comments and wishes, I love the Realself community. If you’re considering a face/neck lift I highly recommend Dr Kremer for a natural result and outstanding care.

Hi foocid, your result is one of the best I have ever seen. I looked up your profile and noticed that you had previously (before your facelift) posted a question about submandibular glands/bulges in your neck (I have a similar issue). I can't believe how amazingly Dr Kremer has addressed this - your neck looks fab and smooth. Did he discuss this at your consultation?
I am on the verge of arranging a consultation with him, but the thing that puts me off (which is probably irrational) is his glamorous/celebrity instagram posts, with him jetting off to Dubai etc. I don't know why but it's a bit unsettling. May I ask what he's like in real life - is he down to earth and is he for real, if you see what I mean? His results almost seem to good to be true, but all his reviews seem totally genuine, with lots of photos and updates down the line (like your 6-month update, which is much appreciated). I am very envious of your results, you look fantastic!

He has a clinic in Dubai, that's why he mentions it on his Instagram. Dr Kremer is a lovely person and a skilled, attentive surgeon. I had a face and neck lift with him myself and am very happy with the result. I suggest you consult several surgeons and make a choice afterwards.

Thank you! I can assure you Dr Kremer is the nicest person and has a great sense of humour. He has a clinic in Dubai. Yes I have large submandibular glands, these were so noticeable before the surgery. Some surgeons remove part of the gland but this can be dangerous due to blood supply and nerves in that area, Dr Kremer advised against it and I totally agreed with him, I'm not putting myself at any risk for cosmetic reasons. The face and neck lift have really helped with the bulges but as the glands are part of my natural anatomy they can still be seen from certain angles but this does not trouble me in the slightest. Wishing you all the best.

You look absolutely fantastic, congratulations! Not sure whether it's just the different lighting in the 6months photos vs. the 3 months update, but to me it seems like even though at 3 months you looked already great, you look even better now!
May 21, 2019
Thank you so much!! I think I shot both sets of photos in my bedroom so similar lighting but probably different time of day, can’t remember what I did yesterday let alone after 3 months!!

botox
foocjdFebruary 19, 2019
Just over two weeks since Dr Kremer did baby botox in my forehead. I wanted to keep a little movement hence the baby Botox, it looks so natural, not frozen, I can still move my eyebrows a little and slight movement in forehead too. No one would ever guess, it's just enough to keep me looking fresh. This is my first botox treatment with Dr Kremer, I shall be using him from now on!

You look perfect! I did not see any wrinkles on your forehead before tbh, but if you wanted it then why not. Dr Dirk is wonderful.
February 23, 2019
Thank you! I have lots of frown lines on my forehead, been having botox in them for 7 years but was botox free for the surgery. Hope you're healing nicely. All the best

I had no idea that Botox was so expensive, almost the cost of a facelift. $13,000 ?

March 8, 2019
$13,980 is what it says, this has to be a mistake???
March 8, 2019
Hi there. You are correct, That price was for the face and neck lift. I just added my Botox review onto the end of my review. All the best

March 8, 2019
Oh you look gorgeous!!! I was looking for the price to have Botox it's been years since I've had it, just had a FL and wanted it for my elevens. Makes sense, sorry for the mix-up!!! Lol glad prices aren't crazy!!!!


Congratulations on hitting the 1 year mark and we're so happy to have you as a part of the community!
