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.
Nice compliment from your husband! Thanks so much for sharing on RealSelf.
