Having lost 7 stone my face was beginning to look like it was melting. Even though I am still a larger lady I felt I’d aged at least 10 years with the loss. I hated how my face looked and had been looking into having my hanging chin removed.
A friend of mine had her eyes done with Amir and mentioned me while she was having them done. She was given a free consultation for me so what did I have to lose.
I went along for the consultation and was very impressed with the clinic. I found Amir very professional and to get the look I was hoping for was going to involve Liposuction, Neck lift and the Concept face lift. I was told this could be done under local anaesthetic no so hospital stay for me and a great bonus as I’d had problems with a previous anaesthetic.
I was then taken to see the lovely Lisa who I then discussed the price of the procedures with. I couldn’t say yes there and then as I needed to sort out my finances.
Having got the finances sorted I decided to also have an upper eye lift I didn’t need another consultation I just had to send photos of my eyes which I emailed.
My date was booked ( yay )
On the morning of the surgery I was there for 8.30 and saw Amir who then drew over my eyes and face to make pointers of where he was doing the liposuction and removing skin. Then it began. I was injected with the anaesthetic in my eyelids and around my face and neck. Yes you can feel the injections but nothing to painful it does make you curl your toes and screw your eyes up.
My eyelids were the 1st thing to be done and there was a lot of chatting about holidays with Amir his assistant and me. I honestly never felt a thing while they were being done.
The liposuction on my chin was next I could feel pressure of the cannula moving around but again no pain.
Then the face and neck lift began, again a lot of chatting while this was going on and once again could feel pressure but no pain. I think the whole procedures took about 4 ½ hours. When Amir was finishing the last few stitches behind my ears they were beginning to come too so I said I could feel it and was told it was 6 more needles then finished or 6 needles of anaesthetic then 6 stitches so I chose to be brave and get it over and done with.
On slowly sitting I was given a mirror too look at myself. I was amazed with what I saw though swollen it looked great. I asked if I could take photos of the skin that had been removed and it was laid out nicely for me to take them.
I then saw Lisa again who gave me my aftercare instructions and was told if I had any problems I could ring at any time and someone would be there.
I went home where I had a coffee and rested in front of the TV. I slept sitting up for about a week and after 2 weeks could sleep on my side as I normally do.
I had no recovery problems and If I hadn’t had my eyes done no one would know I’d had surgery as all the cuts were hidden so well. I was out and about the following day albeit with sunglasses on.
I am now 8 weeks post op and more than happy with my results. It all looks so natural and no tightness at all. I still have a small double chin but it looks so natural that no one would know I've had surgery it’s truly so much better than it was before surgery.
I highly recommend having surgery with Amir and his team at Bella Vou.
If anyone want to see the skin that was removed and what was sucked out just message me am happy to share but didn't think it was appropriate to post here.

Hope you don't mind me asking but how much did the neck procedure cost pleas
November 20, 2016
I had neck lift, lipo and concept face lift I think face was £6000 and neck £4000 lipo thrown in as was having so much done .... I also had upper eyes at £2000.

I don't think I will ever appreciate what a difference it makes all I see are the flaws. Thank you I know it is so much better.

Hi Jewel, thanks for your review. Can I ask how bad is the numbness? Is it improving at all? Thanks
November 24, 2016
I think it is improving but to be honest it doesn't worry me. When I smile and move my face it doesn't feel any different It only feels numb if I actually touch it .

after how many days did the swelling go down and was it very painful during the first week
after the procedure, were you able to go out without feeling really uncomfortable

I had it done on a friday and went to the theater on Monday with a cotton scarf around my neck because of the tape and the bruising from the lipo. if it was just the face lift I wouldn't of need a scarf. Swelling took a good 3 weeks to go down but wasn't that bad really . No pain at all just discomfort . I was taking paracetamol an ibuprofen if i remembered.
November 21, 2016
I am thinking about getting the face and necklift done and have been told swelling went down within a few days ! was the discomfort, was it painful to sleep on your side
November 22, 2016
I was sleeping on my side within a week as you have to sleep in a laid back sitting position to begin ... No pain and no noticeable swelling within a week

I was chatting to a friend who said she had been looking at plastic surgery sights and said how great they were except that all the before photos no one is wearing make up and in the after ones everyone seems to be made up. I had to agree with her as we do all look better with a bit make up on. So here is me 3 months post op no make up.....
I am still happy with my results, I do have a bit of chin still but nothing in comparison to where I started.

well here I am 1 year and many hair colours later. Had my 1 year review and mentioned that I was still unhappy with some loose skin under my chin. Amir was great about it and made a few suggestions on how he could revise it. I made the decision that I just wanted the sagging bit cut out.
2 weeks later I went under the knife again.
I was given a local anaesthetic and knew I would be left with a vertical scar which I was happy with.
40 minutes later it was all over
I week after surgery I am still swollen but already to me it is 100% better. Have my check up on Monday 16/10 but all seems well
Thanks Amir

Did you have to pay for the revision surgery?
February 7, 2018
I had a necklift surgery Nov 1st and I still have fat under my neck which I'm not happy about, so I went to see Dr in January and he injected Kybella and fat is still there.
February 8, 2018
I had mine cut out tense the scat under my chin but I'd rather the scar than the fat. Hope you get it sorted.
I saw your review once I was booked in you look fab I must say x .....are you still numb down the sides of your face and do you still feel odd tingles in there.
