WORTH IT$6,200

I have great skin, but the saggy face was the only thing about me that wasn't going to get any better. I am eager for a change. I'm the first in my circle to do this; my female friends are all buzzing.

I'm doing this because my face looks sad and grim when I am not. I had lipo on my potbelly in 2014. Best money I ever spent. This MACS is going to be great.

I think you look fantastic!!! So glad things are going well. My consultation is Jan. 9th. I'm worried about the price now that I'm seeing $6,500!!!! I had my breast lifted last year, year before lipo of stomach, saddles etc. So I'm hoping he'll really give me some sort of break. But I doubt it very much. We live in such a pricey area. I saw one woman's mini face lift was $20,000. on Real Self. Which is downright crazy!!!! . And that was very close to where I live. And he didn't have any good reviews either. My Dr. Has excellent reviews. I bet you're glad this is over!!!

The Midwest is comparatively cheap. They charge what the market will pay. My PS is not a facial specialist, is yours? Compared to body lifts mine was a small job. Believe that the money for this thing that will improve your life will come. Yes I'm glad it's over. My anxiety was way out of proportion to reality.

I know I've been there with the anxiousness with these surgeries. I had a full FL when I was 48!!! I got it just before it got worse. Well now I'm 62 and I'm not liking the slope and less definition to the chin. Mine is pretty much on board with all. He's highly qualified with excellent reviews. He is not the surgeon who did my initial FL. I don't want to travel that far. So most likely will go with Dr. Sassoon in Great Neck. I will soon find out what his fees are this coming Mon.

Oh, you are in New York! That makes a lot of difference. Some patients go to Mexico but I would never do that.

It seemed to happen so suddenly -- like, this year. I stopped wanting to go out. I don't want to see with my colleagues of 25 years. "How old she's gotten."

Another "before." It is soooo much the jawline.

clrankovDecember 2, 2016

I had felt nervous at first but after lots of research and picking the best surgeon (who went to school where I did) I can't wait. Money and ride all lined up as if it were meant to be. He mentioned eye work and I know I could use it, but I normally wear glasses with bright color frames, trying to distract eyes from the rest of my face. Those days of neck scarves up over my chin and turtlenecks will soon be over. The jawline is my main concern.
