WORTH IT
It took a shockingly hideous passport photo to open up my mind to cosmetic surgery. 64 years of gravity had crept up on me. I avoid medical procedures of any kind, and was afraid of having to live with a bad result, so I searched for an option that would correct my specific concerns, but not change my overall look or features. I wanted to lift my sagging neck, jawline, and upper eyelids, without the dangers of general anesthesia, and without dipping too deeply into my savings.

I am so happy that I found Dr. Sadati. After listening carefully to my goals and concerns, we decided to do a neck and lower face lift, which I believe he calls this a Natural Lift. We also decided to correct my drooping upper eyelids, and do a light laser treatment under my eyes.

3 weeks later, this was all accomplished, under local anesthesia, in his office. I checked in at 11 and was out by 3. Prior to surgery, they made sure that I had all the supplies and meds I would need through the next few weeks, and thoroughly explained what to expect. The first two weeks were pretty scary and uncomfortable, but not enough to need pain medication. I was swollen and bruised, and had puffy purple eyes. Gradually, as the bruising and swelling improved, I could see that he had accomplished exactly what I wanted. By week three, I was elated. I still look like me, but at least 15 years younger. My husband walked in one day and said "Wow, you look like you're 30 sitting there." Need I say more?

Hello, I am glad you are happy with your results, can you tell me how much did your facelift cost? Thank you I am considering dr. Sadati or dr. Miller.

$13,500 for all. Consult is free, and he'll give you a price on the spot after discussing what you want, and what he can do for you.

A natural lift ? Is it a full lower face lift ?
September 15, 2016
If you look at Dr. Sadati's site, you will see examples of what he calls a Natural Lift. I'm not sure what you mean by a full lower face lift, but he lifted my neck and jawline area, and explained it as a neck and lower face lift to me. It made a huge difference.

How about some pics?

I don't really want my photos out there floating around on the Internet. If you have a consult with Dr. Sadati, he may show them to you. My result was similar to the photos on his website.

Hi I loved reading your comments and it sounds exactly what I'm going through. I'm 64 also, and suddenly in the past 3 years I've started to sag and age so much. Wrinkles and sagging are appearing constantly. I've had a consultation with a surgeon in London and am hoping to have a lower facelift and necklift in the next few months My neck in particular is horrendous, really sagging and wrinkled and I'm so ashamed of it I can't bear to look in the mirror or have my photo taken. Your results sound so fantastic, would it be possible to see a before and after photo of you on the site, so I can see roughly what I can expect. I'm so afraid that I'll end up looking the same. Thank you so much for your help. Rosemary in England

Sorry, but I don't want my photos out there in cyberspace. It would be better to see before and after photos from doctors you are considering, anyway. I think there is a degree of artistry involved in the outcome, in addition to the skill level and technique used. Best of luck.
