WORTH IT$12,000
It is 4 years since my facelift and fat transfer. I am still very happy with the results. It is one of the best things I have done. It is a definite boost to self confidence.

Question, the $12,000.00 was only for the facelift?

It was a face lift, temple lift and fat transfer. That was 3 years ago.

It was for a face lift, temple lift and fat transfer. The breast augmentation was separately and over 4 months later.

I know there is debate here about how long a fat transfer lasts. I am not a doctor all I can do is go with my experience. I had a facelift and fat transfer 4 years ago this month and I am still happy with the results. Of course having a facelift and fat transfer doesn't stop you from aging...it just turns back the clock so I am aging...but I still get comments that I look much younger than my years.

You look great and thank you for sharing. Don't know why people questioning this as doesn't look retouched to me as still have the crows feet which is hardest thing to address. Do you know if he did any stem cells with the fat transfer and where did he take the fat from? Today 11-4-13 check out this "Video Chat" facelift procedure that was on The Doctor's (tv) and he talks about "drawing serum and mixing it with fat cells as if this is now the common practice also used in cardio, neurology, breast implant procedures. Not sure that procedure pulls the muscle as well otherwise, as far as I understand, just pulling the skin doesn't last.

Thanks Chellamia. It has been 4 years since my fat transfer/face lift and I still am happy with the results. I don't know if there were any stem cells involved. I wasn't told if there were and I didn't ask. Just addressing the skin doesn't give the best or lasting results.

I am adding the unretouched photo of the original picture that caused all of the controversy. There is honestly not a big difference between the two. The results of my face lift and fat transfer are still the same. This was one of the best things I have every done.
