I was feeling young, I was fit and active but my face was starting to show its age. I am 54 and simply not ready to be an old woman. I did my research and chose Dr Koelliker one because of the great reviews and the visual results I had seen and secondly because he does the procedure in a hospital with a full staff and you stay there for three days. After my surgery and while still in the hospital Dr Koelliker checked in on me at least 3 to 4 times as day - - very comforting to have him checking in on you. Upon release from the hospital you are taken by a private driver to your after-surgery recovery center, Casa Marino Spa located in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. It kind and very professional staff took care of my every need. All I had to do was relax, enjoy the spa, occasionally ice and enjoy their fine meals. And to my surprise Dr's in Mexico make house calls! Dr. Koelliker came to the Spa to check in on my progress a couple of days after leaving the hospital and to remove my eye sutures. About a week later he was back to again check on my progress and remove the remaining sutures. I am thrilled with the results of my facelift - - my new lease on life, and have Dr Koelliker, his surgical team and the recovery center and their professional staff to thank for giving my youth back. Thank you to each and every one of you!

Have not taken any however living at the beach my hair is up all the time - - I wondered if someone with radar eyes was going to call me on it and not a one. I see the puzzled looks on faces when we talk way back when stuff and just recently I told a new girlfriend (known her for four, five months) that is a cosmetic doctor and she was shocked - - so much so that she looked at me differently. I am only two years younger than her mother and she was not sure what to think of that. Hehehehhe, fun to keep them guessing - - even more fun when you tell them :)

Hi GoodBYy50,
You look 20 years younger, nice work! One question: did Dr K do an eyebrow lift with your FL? It doesn't look like it from your before and after photos. I had an eyebrow lift with a facelift 15 years ago and the surgeon also cut my corrigator (spelling?) muscle between my eyebrows. I no longer hav deep expression lines between my brows. It didn't cost extra and made my face look softer. Just putting this information out there for ladies to ask their surgeons about. No more deep parallel lines when I talk or or when I wake up in the morning. Love it!!

did he do the smas method? Superficial musculaponeurotic system....
this is where fibrous muscle tissue is sutured under skin (lifted to tighten) I read in a review that a patient who had surgery with him did not have the smas method done (which she was expecting) and her face dropped in a year...

This is my first choice but unable to travel right now so I will be using a doctor here in Walnut Creek, CA. I can only pray he will be as good as Dr. K.
