Hello AW55! Congrats on making the decision to do this for yourself! I think our side facial profiles were very similar, before my lower face/neck lift. I think you’ll be so pleased with your results! Thank you for sharing your journey, and I look forward to following your progress!

Cost of my surgery and stay is approx. 623,531.09INR depending on the days market. This includes everything. My surgeon, likes to make sure his patients leave the country with a healthy recovery. And to do this, many international patients stay in the clinic and have medical assistants helping them recover from their surgery. When you fly 20 hours, to a country you've never been, you deserve to have the best treatment. Addeing in the airfare, visa, passport, travel expenses total $11,000 USD. or 696,868.40INR :) This is why I chose
Sameer Karkhanis, MS, DNB of India as my Plastic Surgeon. I have posted my before pictures and plan on sharing my after pictures. Follow me and my journey to India!

What made you choose India? I am thinking of doing a neck/lower facelift, did you know the Doctor already before you choose him as your surgeon? I am also looking forward to seeing how your journey is progressing, and if this is something I might be interested in pursuing!

I received my visa, starting to pack my suitcase. Yes! I am learning a lot from this site. I have purchased many of the suggestions. Even though I will be taken care of 24 hrs for 10 days, I still want to have close by, anything that might make my stay better. I'm really looking forward to going to India, such a interesting country, and I really like the choice I made in Doctors.

Doesn't look like many people read these updates or comments, and it takes a lot of energy to do them, while sick in the bed. I'm on day 3 after all my surgery , have a question ask.

I read them and appreciate you taking the time to help us. I had lipo 360 from Dr. Sameer in Oct. 2018, and plan to return this year for face work.

How much did it cost & are you staying at the hospital or a hotel ?

Around 11K. The price negotiated, was not what I paid. The amount I added up plus the 3% I paid on the credit card, plus $135.00 going home supplies turned into $185 in US dollars. Then all the supplies I had to buy for months of treatment.

SMAS Faclift/blepharoplasty/Cervicoplasty/Fat grafting

User Avatar
AmericanWoman55
Before the SMAS facelift. SMAS is a true facelift that can improve the sagging jowls, cheeks and neck. SMAS is the layer of tissue underneath skin. By lifting the SMAS layer, drooping facial features are restored to a more youthful face position. I will also be getting my eyes done. Dark circles be gone! Another family trait from both sides of the tree.
An eyelid lift, or blepharoplasty, is a procedure to remove skin and to add or remove fat from the eyelids. The term eyelid lift is a misnomer because the eyelid is not truly lifted during surgery. Upper blepharoplasty surgery uses incisions to allow for removal of skin and fat.
My neckline is from my paternal side. My Grandmother, God rest her soul, had a fatty type neckline, even though she also was of normal weight. Neck Lift. Cervicoplasty is the medical name for a necklift. This cosmetic procedure is designed to help men and women with a fleshy neck, often referred to in a most unflattering term as a “turkey neck.” Dr.Sameer Karkhanis, MS, DNB is going to help me rejuvenate my appearance by performing this neck lift.
I will also have some fat grafting to correct the atrophy due to aging to enhance my face (eg, to correct glabellar frown lines and to provide a fuller, more voluptuous lip-).

Thank you Susan. I have tried to stay out of the sun my entire adult life, I guess it paid off. I have very few wrinkles. And these photos are without any make-up. I just hate the dark circles and bags! I do have some age spots, that I would like to get taken off in the future. But, you are very kind.
