I am a Brazilian Canadian, I came from country where plastic surgery is popular among women. USA is the top country in cosmetic surgery followed by Brazil and Mexico.
I just turned 49 years old and I am married to a man 8 years my junior. I always looked good for my age until 45 when I noticed my face matured very fast in the last 3 years. For my consternation last year an older lady asked if my husband, who looks younger for his age, was my son, well...after that I decided I want I facelift because I did not want to look like my husband's mother; however, my sweet husband tried to change my mind for he was concerned about my health and pos surgery complications. He said he would love me no matter how I looked like. Guess what!!! I did not listen ;)
In the end of 2014 I started my journey to look for a PS here in Toronto, where I've been living for a year and I did not know any PS. After a few emails to Drs. I've met here in RealSelf, I figured out I just could not afford a Facelift neither here nor in the USA where my sister live. I thought about going to Brazil and have a surgery over there but Brazil is far from Toronto and if a FL revision was needed that would cost time and expensive air tickets to fly back to Brazil. Then I started reading in RealSelf about people that went to Mexico to have their PS and two Drs. caught my attention and one of them was Dr. Fernando Guerrerosantos from Guadalajara, Mexico. I've been to Mexico many times matter of fact I can speak a pretty decent Spanish. I contacted one of Dr. Guerrero FL patient, I've met here in RealSelf, and this patient in question gave me very positive feed back regarding Dr. Guerrero work and human being.
Soon after my research regarding Dr. Fernando Guerrerosantos, I contact him, emailed him some photos and after looking my photos he said I would need a lower and up Blepharoplasty and a Lower SMAS lift which I completely agree with him. It took 3 months for me to reunite courage to go to Mexico alone, I did not want my husband to go with me. I arrived in Guadalajara in May 20 and May 21 after all pre surgery exams clearance, I was operated in a high standart hospital; I was impressed for the hospital stuff and organization were impeccable.
My FL surgery took 5 hours after that I was driven by Jose a Mexican bilingual sweet man to Emma Galicia's B&B I stayed in Emma's for two weeks and could not be happier, I was very well taken care of and felt very safe while in their care. I could not be happier with my results as shown on my before and after pictures.

Well, you look really good after your Facelift, congrats with your resulsts.
To be honest, I cannot say you looked "old" in my eyes, pre operation, a nice youthful, strong face. And that other lady who put you the offending suggestion might just have been jealous as hell.
