WORTH IT
I am so happy with my results. I had a lower face and neck lift, lower lids, and brow lift 13 years earlier in the US and the work of this doctor was better. I plan to return. I was scheduled for hip-replacement surgery upon my return to the US, so I had narcotic pain medications with me and the second day, they helped my face. Many doctors do not prescribe narcotics after cosmetic procedures but I advise to have some available, just in case. My scars matured nicely. If you go, do not be surprised by the lack of luxury even at the smallish airport. The clinic is not an upscale, over-sized, showplace by US standards. I did not know about RS when I went, so I did not immediately write a review. I also want to tell everyone to start a savings account, so money will be available as you age. A small amount each month really adds up. I call mine my"face fund" and if an emergency arises I use it and start again. I have friends who say they cannot afford cosmetic surgery but if they had spent $5,000 less on their car or half as much on clothes, it would add up. Cosmetic surgery can accomplish more the nicest clothes, expensive skin care products, and high-end make-up. Remember, it true that when one looks better, they feel better. Self consciousness diminishes and confidence increases even spilling over into other aspects of our lives. I have a serious problem with my leg; so most days I simply do not feel like make-up, hair, and nice clothes but cosmetic surgery results are always there doing their job, no matter how I am doing. No more walking by the mirror looking like hell and not feeling up to doing all the work involved on "spiffing up"! Everyone has seen how getting a fresh haircut or color lifts the spirits of someone unwell, so imagine the effect of a long-lasting cosmetic procedure. Serious illness takes a toll on us especially if it causes weight loss or gain; so when your friend has fought a serious health battle, take them to the plastic surgeon not the salon. In case you are wondering,....Yes, I also probably talk too much.

Best clinic ever!! I had a tummy tuck, breast lift and BBL done there in March and I couldn't be happier with the results I got and I paid a fraction of what it would've cost me in Canada!!
Their staff there are phenomenal!! I'm glad you had an amazing experience like I did!! I'm heading back to them in another 3 months to finish things up :)

What percentage of your fat grafting would you estimate survived the transfer? Do you know if PRP was used to increase the survival?

I honestly couldn't answer this question but if you're considering going and want to know I could get the answers for you.
I was told 30% would be re-absorbed into the body.
My husband says my backside looks fuller still so to answer am I happy with what's been done, then my answer is yes.
Out of all the cellulite dimpling I had only 2 little dots have returned so I'm ok with this.
Hope this helps

You said it best!!! : Cosmetic surgery can accomplish more the nicest clothes, expensive skin care products, and high-end make-up. Remember, it true that when one looks better, they feel better.

You are so right, and I would add good hair to that. I do hair extensions amd you have to have the pretty hair to get them to notice the pretty face :) thankfully all these things are obtainable. Expensive makeup and creams and even clothes don't do a ing without these priorities taken care of first.

Also in addition to surgery, I also think that exercise and weight loss make ten times the difference of makeup and hair improvements. Exercise also helps slow the aging process IMHO. All the personal trainers with whom I've worked looked 10 to 15 years younger than their actual age.

Lol. I too have my "face fund" !! I keep chipping away at it adding money whenever i can. Working on saving for a nose job at the moment -perhaps next spring. I also agree that it is better to spend money making yourself look good and better spent than on jewelery or fancy cars.

I'm confused you just asked me today about type of anesthesia? Are you gonna have this done with my doctor or you already had it done? Mitzi
