Before Dr K schedules a surgery date, a full blood panel, medical history, and EKG is required. Your hemoglobin must be 13 if having multiple procedures. Mine was low & he was clear that if it was not at 13, only 1 procedure. In my case breast implant & capsule removal. FaceLiftMexico arranged for a driver to pick me up at the airport and take directly to the hospital. Within 15 minutes, Dr Koellicker came to my room to discuss the procedures and outline the necessary pre-op tests. My Primary procedure was removing the 25 yr old implants - secondary, a SMAS facelift. The explant was much more complex than any PS here or Dr K anticipated-after 2-1/2 hrs, he removed the calcified tissue. My Houston doctors indicated that the breast surgery was on par with anything I would have received here, based on breast ultrasound & chest x-ray. Both surgeries had no complications-medically, the most important.

2 Months - Face has not fallen as naysayers predicted.

Posted on my "explant" review about my hilarious MDVIP Internist. Yesterday was the tests review. We're the same age, known each other 16 years with almost exact 60 yr old health reports. She kept comparing our faces & finally said, "I've been so resistant about facial surgery but you look so good." And, the incisions are healing well. She pointed out that there is a wide distance from Wound Care and Scar Prevention and how she cannot believe people who remark about an appendectomy scar. "Like, what kind of sutures did you use?" Well, like I just saved your life, wound is healing without sepsis - don't want a scar, gotta work on it yourself!

I'm glad your face didn't fall, but please understand it takes a full 9 months to a year to see the final result of the facelift, since the first 3 months are mostly swelling.
I am glad that you & another have questioned the method he uses...my Internist confirmed the SMAS was undermined, trimmed, lifted and sutured back together; however, he is more conservative than others.
Absolutely no swelling and jawline is supple, not tight. Different skin types, lifestyles, health and stress, not to mention genetic play a major role. I'm not the least bit concerned or apprehensive that my face will "fall"! Have a great evening!
I'm 60 yrs old, so even the "before" picture was not horrid. Never smoked, drank or tanned...throw in good genes and a SMAS and neck lift was all I needed. Certainly did not want anything stretched tight!!
