WORTH IT$5,000

I am on my way Aug 2012 for my second facelift and a breast lift. My first facelift and upper and lower eyes done 10 yrs ago. I am 61 and a Realtor who hopes to work for another decade in a professional I love. I don't want to scare off the young buyers. I wish I new beforehand that it really takes more than 12 days to recover fully. Plan to take it easy for another two weeks.

Hi Patrice,

Thanks for posting your story. You mentioned a second facelift -- when are you having that done?

I had my (second) facelift and a breast lift on August 21 and 22. I am very pleased with the results. Dr. Marten is a wonderful man and a very skilled plastic surgeon. Clinica Marten was the same as 10 years ago. The doctor did surgery 4 days per week. Everyone else in residence was a flight attendant.
I, too, had a facelift with Dr Marten 2 years ago. He's highly skilled and I felt very safe there. He sees his patients every day for followup. I've known about 8 people that have had surgery with him and none had any kind of a complication or infection (except for the lady who walked into a door jamb the day after surgery!). All were happy with their results. Dr Marten must have the flight attendant market tied up because there were 2 flight attendants, 1 Delta and 1 American, while I was there
too young for facelift. I really have a difficult time people in their 40's, 50'sand 60's having a facelift. Unless a person has an accident I don't find the ages mentioned above need a facelift.....perhaps the eyes need something??
this is too young for a facelift. I never thought of a facelift before 75 yrs old

75 and a facelift? I'll probably die before that. lol
