WORTH IT$6,500
It has been three years now and I often think to myself how grateful I am that I don't look like a "facelift victim". When I see women who have obviously had facelifts it makes me appreciate Dr. Koelliker's conservative approach. If it is so markedly clear that someone has had a facelift and they don't look like their previous self, it appears fake and unattractive. I get compliments SO often about how young I look and nobody but nobody believes I am 64. I am still so grateful for the experience in many ways....the non-traumatic sedation, Dr. Koelliker's manner, the efficiency of the entire process arranged by Pat Marino and my wonderful stay at Casa Marino. I will go back in my late 60's for a tune up, as the reasonable price makes it possible!

WORTH IT! BOTH DR. KOELLIKER AND CASA MARINO

Still trying to figure out how to change that notice from "Not Sure" to "Worth It" so thought I would mention that it WAS and IS WORTH IT! Am especially pleased that I stayed at Casa Marino for the pampering, convenience, the ease of logistics and emotional support, rather that just a bed and breakfast, or the like......that was WORTH IT!!!!!!!!

You look positively radiant! congratulations!!!! Dr Koelliker truly is an artist. Really happy with the work that he did on me. I also found Casa Marino to be a special part of the experience. Also planning on going back.... maybe see you there! Happy for you!

Thank you sooo much for your excellent detailed review - if I have any future tweaks I will seriously consider Dr. Koelliker and Casa Marino. My last facelift/eyelid lift was as a widow - and I knew what to expect - but in my area (Orange County California) - all of the aftercare facilities seem to have closed (could only find one in Santa Monica and Pasadena) or usually do not take doctors they are not affiliated with.

It is a bummer to be alone the days after surgery. I could not drive for 3 weeks so had to ask friends for a ride.
