Received Much Needed Neck Lift Revision and Facelift with Excellent Results!

WORTH IT$6,000
In January of 2016, I received what I would call a mini-lift and what I thought was a full neck lift in Houston, Texas, only to find out I had only had lipo done under my chin, with no attention at all given to the sagging skin and jowls in the neck area. My neck actually looked worse after the lipo procedure. I was horrified. And really upset. I wanted to give you people on here a heads up because I literally wasted $12,000 on this Houston surgeon. If you want his name, please email me. I will gladly help you out. I do not want some innocent person having the same thing happen to them.

To make a long story short, I had to wait at least a year to get my neck fixed and after doing more thorough research, including many more plastic surgeons in the States, I still decided on Dr. Alejandro Lev, in San Jose, Costa Rica, because of his extensive experience and numerous excellent reviews. I could only find one bad review, which I believe was bogus or done unfairly. Dr. Lev is a very talented surgeon and a perfectionist. He loves his work and loves to make women look and feel their best. I promised him I would gladly do a review, because I am so very pleased with my results! The results are far and above what I ever expected. The neck I have almost looks like that of a 35 year old and I am 62. I would say that his plastic surgery procedures on necks are top notch and I have not seen any better than Dr. Lev's. He only does faces and his facelifts are also top notch and are done to be long lasting. The pictures I am posting I took myself on my computer webcam. The "after" pictures are a little over one month post-op. I am visiting my daughter over the holidays and will have her get some better side angle views, because I could not get very good ones myself, and the side views of my neck are excellent. I still have some yellowish discoloration, but most of the swelling is gone.

I made the best decision in hiring Dr. Lev, and I will never regret it. I feel like a movie star!

Beautiful results. I wish you would name the Houston doctor that charged you so much but did very little for you. At least give us his initials. I live in the Houston area and have been on a few consults. However, I love Dr. Lev's work, and am considering going out of country to have him work on me. That's a huge step for me, because I'm a country girl (a country girl with money).
His name is MIchel Siegel, M.D. Every time he has a bad review or "legitimate review", a marketer posts several good ones, so the bad ones pretty much get canceled out. I posted several reviews on different sites to warn others. When I went to him the first time, he did a mini-lift and upper eyelid lift and they turned out fine. When I went back the second time, the neck lift was really horrible; he actually lied and did not do a neck lift, only lipo. Disfigured, even. I asked for my money back, but they refused. I read another review where the same thing happened to another woman, and he did a revision, but with the same horrible results. Also, there were reviews I read with several botched nose jobs. However, I did not see these until after I had my botched neck job! You just have to pull up his bad reviews to see these. Dr. Lev has many before and after pictures on this website: eternallyvain.com. Didi Reuben handles all of his scheduling for him. Dr. Lev is a beautiful man, besides being a very talented plastic surgeon. I cannot believe how well my neck turned out. The pictures I took do not do my neck justice. I am going to post more pictures in a month or two. I am getting a lot more looks now and one woman at the store told me I looked like Blondie, the singer!
Thank you, Debbie. You've been very helpful in your review. I look forward to seeing more pictures. Enjoy your gorgeous self and have a Merry Christmas!
you look beautiful! I had a facelift with Dr. Lev and he undid all the signs of previous surgery that I had that was sub par. I agree he is the best with faces. He really is great with the necks! So glad we found him!!! One of my good friends is a doctor and sees a lot of women in her practice and always asks who did their work because she wants to have a facelift one day. She could not believe my results, said it was the most natural she had ever seen. She was worried about me going out of the country and worried that I would come back looking more "done", and instead it was the opposite.. He is a genius! And his results are consistent which gives me confidence in recommending him to anyone. He never has a bad outcome.
