I had a Concept facelift and Liposuction under my jawline 10 days ago at The Fabulous BellaVou with Amir 10 days ago.
Having watched the Videos of the procedures many times and being lucky enough to know some previous friends that had the same procedure last year I was 100 percent sure about going ahead, especially after speaking with Beau, Stevie and all the team at Bella Vou who are all wonderful.
I'm on day 10 and doing well but got the ear pain, a lot of swelling,lack of sleep etc but if I'm honest I've had migraines worse than the recovery days so far.
The one thing I didn't think about prior to surgery was that you can hear a lot of what's going on when the cutting and pulling and stitching is going on, plus I think I Had a tougher time during surgery due to Amir explaining that I had a lot of fibrous The tissue (thick skin) great for healing but not so good for the procedure as it can make the anaesthetic not penetrate aswell as normal and I'm not going to lie I Could feel at certain times, and the injections are pretty hmmmm ,Amir explained to me that this is quite rare and obviously it makes the cutting more difficult than usual,
( oh,the thought of it yuk)
After the injections I had the Lipo, this was not a problem at all in fact I kept giggling due to the noise and that bit was over fairly quickly, We all had good conversation even though at times I went quiet as couldn't quite believe what I was doing at that moment, I mean let's face it !! Ha you are awake through the whole procedure so I think you go into a little bit of shock and excitement that your finally there having it done.
I am 52 and was feeling for many years my neck was ageing faster than my face, it was really really getting me down, I now have my old Jawline back from 10 years ago and a tight neck, no saggy skin, And can see I will be very pleased with the results already,
Having read all the reviews here on The Concept Facelift I would say I'm the same in recovery as most people but one helpful thing is every now and again I've had a crawling tickling feeling in my face and neck that's very random, it's quite a nice feeling as just after it happens you feel a little more of the numbness coming back to life, it's just the healing process, my ears have driven me bonkers with tickling feelings inside the ear but Having spoken to Amir a few times since my procedures on Skype I felt reassured all was normal.
I stayed at The Warwick Park hotel just across the road from Bella Vou,a great location and nice hotel but parking is a bit tricky, I would recommend you take someone with you and stay for a few days as to be perfectly honest I Didn't feel it was long enough as I Only stayed the one night then had a very long journey home alone and I Had thick bandages on for a few days after due to the lipo suction area.
Amir is clearly the best surgeon ever, a truly lovely person that goes an extra 100 miles to make sure you understand completely what is happening, prior, during, and after the procedure, and his team are a true credit to him, all of them.
Im my view If your thinking of having this surgery done at Bella Vou and you have been brave enough to watch the procedure done on the videos AND feel you can cope with being awake through the procedure, then I say GO FOR IT but be prepared to also go through the patience of waiting to get through the healing phases afterwards. I hope this helps anyone out there thinking about knocking off some years and feeling more confident.

Hi there Its 13 months since my procedure with Amir. I am extremely pleased with the result just still a tiny bit numb around the earlobe but it doesn’t bother me much.
I’m so sorry to hear your not as pleased as I am. I’m guessing that maybe the thicker the skin you have the better the result
I do remember Amir saying that normally it was like cutting through butter but my skin was more like cutting through leather ( ouch) I have healed well even though I went through a tough time during the procedure. Was it worth it ?? ABSOLUTELY.
I hope that you did speak with Amir after your procedure and got sorted as I know he takes incredible pride in his work and obviously your post was very soon after your treatment.
I was told that the final result is not really until after 12 months, and during that time expect lumps bumps tingling numbness, etc, which I did, but after a few months I kept forgetting I’d had it done.
I do think it’s really important to have the Lipo with the neck lift IF Amir suggests this.

I am delighted with my results and suggest that you completely trust Amir. He will want you to have the best long term result possible.
The only other advice I can give you is that when it says recovery one week, I would say I was definately presentable after one week but the recovery is longer and improves daily, it is a big operation but I would definately have the two procedures if that's what Amir has advised for you. Good luck and start getting excited for the new you but be patient with the recovery.
Regards
I’m just over a year since my concept lower face/ neck lift plus Lipo under chin.
I am still a little bit numb by my ear lobes but that is my only remaining symptom, I’m extremely pleased with everything and have not regretted it once.
