I’m very happy with my lower facelift, upper bleh, and brow lift. Since my visit to Dr Aceves my friend crossed the border to have a lower lift and laser resurfacing. She is a little shy of posting but may be willing to talk to someone via email.

My eyes were black in my lower eyes. After a week I looked fine.

My doctor said that the bandage was placed too high and it caused the blood to rush to the lowers eyes. I drank a lot of pineapple and veg/fruit smoothies. I walked a lot too. I hope that your face heals soon. I commented on your old post. Yoga is amazing. Namaste

I had a SMAS and upper eyes almost a year ago. Two weeks ago I had lipo suction above the jawline to smooth out some bluldges/ jowls with a mini brow lift. Gosh I’m so glad I went through with this.

Thank you for the information on cost. You look great. Can I ask what the cost of the smas was?

I have two photos of the same corners of my eyes. A nice difference. There is bruising but it is getting better daily. I’m camped along side of a lake enjoying walking and I went for a bike ride today. I’m taking all of my vitamins and supplements and drinking smoothies with blueberries, pineapple and greens.

You are quite the trailblazer doing all of your favorite outdoorsy hobbies after a cosmetic procedure. Nothing stops you, it is to be admired! Your brow lift look really good. I’m seeing a difference in your eye lids too! Very youthful looking. Is your bruising around your eyes going down your cheeks?

Thank you. I’m actually taking it very easy compared to my norm. My black eyes came from my compression garment being too high above the eye brows. I moved it the first night not realizing the outcome. I was pretty high on sedatives. The swelling is gone but the blue color remains. It has improved greatly today. I had Lipo above my jawline to reduce the jowls that I thought a bichtomy would but it’s outter fat that is settling rather than inner fat below the cheeks. I have some swelling still. I see a slight improvement but time will tell. The jowls were addressed last year when I had a SMAS but a small amount accumulated and it needed to go. I feel like the results were subtle as I wanted and not drastic. I think anymore people wouldn’t know who I was.

I had a facelift and browlift done at Mt.Sinai at the end of July 2017. My neck and jowls were not improved so I am looking for additional work in those areas. I am from Pennsylvania and wonder if the cost of a plane ticket and lodging would end up being just as much as getting additional surgery locally? What do you think? You probably live closer to Mexico than I do if you are from the west.

I remember talking to you when I was considering traveling back east to Sanai. The good news is you can converse with Dr Aceves via email with photos and have a plan in place upon your arrival. The hotel Real Inn was a special price of $50 a night with room service. They were very accommodating. If you brought your current blood work, chest X-ray that would cut some time and cost. I’m having my stitches removed from my regular doctor. She is a veteran who worked in the plastic surgery department at Landstuhl military hospital. So she knows her way around stitches.

So happy that your healing is on point and the swelling is subsiding...somewhat!! You had a facelift last year, and still needed a fat removal from your cheeks? Are you posting pix of that too? Is the lipo area very bruised?

Yes I had the SMAS but the jowls were addressed but appeared over the summer. It is a like fat drifted down from my cheeks. I wasn’t pulled back tight and that is what I asked for. I probably went about this wrong but I didn’t want to be recouperating from everything at once. Meaning upper and lower bleh done at the same time but separate times so that I could not have a lot of swelling and bruising. The brow lift did cause swelling and bruising though. I still need the lower eye bleh and I should have had it at the same time. Eventually I’ll need a neck lift too. The SMAS did address some of my neck which I’m happy with.
