I love my results and Dr Koelliker. Had a great experience, (well, except for occasional discomfort and insomnia, but that was taken care of by Dr K, ASAP), the hospital is small but well equipped, very well staffed, you have 2 board certified PS's and an MD anesthesiologist in the OR. The nurses are great, although some don't speak much English, we managed to communicate fine. I absolutely loved San Miguel de Allende, it is so beautiful. Couldn't complain about one thing at the Casa Marino Recovery Spa, Fabi and Pat go out of their way to care for, comfort, feed and entertain you. The Casa rooms are pure comfort. I had a beautiful room with a private patio, an electric recliner, a large screen TV with Netflix, there are also several hundred DVD's to choose from, Greg, Pat's husband is a movie buff. Dr K visited me at the Casa 3 times in my 10 day stay. Included the incident where I foolishly, accidentally ripped the sutures out of both earlobes and had to have them redone just when they were due to be removed. That's the only time I saw him frown! The lobes were numb and I use a headband to hold my hair back when washing my face and just kind of forgot to be careful, boy did I feel dumb! It's all good now. At this point, almost six weeks I'd give him 10 stars. I kinda wish I'd had a bit of a brow lift, but when he asked I adamantly said no! Oh well, now I have an excuse to go back at some point! I would have loved having more time to explore San Miguel as I had to take it easy with the TT. I am one happy camper! I highly recommend Dr Koelliker, if you want a natural looking refreshed look. If you want something more dramatic go elsewhere! This is exactly what I wanted....

You look great. I want to go but want a buddy to go with me.
Hi Luckysmom. I am Terry's surgery buddy and we met at the hospital. I had my surgery the day befor Terry, so we had several days together at Pat's. We had a gret time and are now BFFs. I know we will stay friends...forever! Right Terry? I had a great experience, too, but do not like to share pictures. (But I love that Terry does). Since I returned home and have been getting out, i have been mistaken for the mother of my grandkids twice which has NEVER happened before. I am 64. I know that was quite a stretch but sure felt good! But at the same time, the change is not so drastic that my friends and family are guessing that I have had a facelift. They think my new hairdo is great..wink, wink! So, Luckysmom, go for it and you will probably meet a great new friend as part of your wonderful experience!
You look amazing - 45 max, not 65. Thanks so much for sharing your journey!

Will be 6 weeks on Wednesday.

Everything seems to be settling and I'm going to try to do side by side before and after. Very happy with my Dr Koelliker experience. Had a couple of down days last week, not sure if it's post op related or just general life/family stressors. Sheesh, sometimes I just think I attract chaos! But I will be fine. I'm good at bouncing back, sometimes just takes longer depending on the situation.
