WORTH IT$10,000
I am having a facelift on June 1st with Dr. Konstantine on the Upper East Side. I lost a lot of weight from 2011-2012 so I have undesired jowls and turkey neck...I have always had bags under the eyes so he is doing upper and lower eyelids as well as a neck lift. Wish me luck!!! I am adding before pics so I can document the transformation. This is me in May without any make-up in full sunlight.

Hi. I am planning the same in about a year from now. Am wishing you the best!

Does the $10,000 price include everything? That seems on the low side for Manhattan and for eyes as well as face/neck.

Yes, facial rejuvenation including the upper and lower eyelids, neck and face so I am pleased with the price, it's actually $10,625 + 1 night hotel $250. I think about the same price as going to Costa Rica give or take a $1000 and I can go right home to my bed in my home 1 day after surgery and stay in the US.

Good luck! I can certainly understand the anxiety. The morning of my surgery, I did some gentle yoga stretches for about a half hour to some over the top relaxing music and then did some basic breathing. The nurses were all jealous of my blood pressure which was 109 over like 70.
Keep us posted on your experience. We are all here for you and for the moral support!

Thanks so much!! Good idea--I have a massage scheduled for tonight as well. Luckily, it's at 8:30 am so I don't have too much time to stress!!

I am kind of miserable right now. I'm in pain, my eyes are swollen, my ears hurt, my chin hurts....I see changes already.

Congratulations on your procedure! Get lots of rest. The first 3 days were the worst for me.
