Amazing Experience!

I had a lower face lift about 5 months ago. It was done at an outpatient surgery center, which was easy and convenient but I would probably not do again since it took me so long to emerge from anesthesia and I pretty much closed the place down. However, the procedure was smooth and my post-op care and healing process so far have been great so far. The results get more beautiful every day; I was even mistaken recently for being 29! Totally worth it.

It occurs to me that the total cost I reported was high for just a lower face lift. The cost also included a chin implant, lower blepharoplasty, and fat transfer, as well as anesthesia and facility charges.

I had an amazing experience with Dr. Rad last year when he performed a lower face/necklift, chin implant, lower blepharoplasty and fat transfer. At the one year mark, my face looked beautiful but I wanted a more comprehensive result. Dr. Rad planned to perform a full face and neck lift, and to take advantage of being in the OR I decided to add a tummy tuck and upper arm lipo. This time I was smart to stay in the hospital - 2 nights - after my experience with hard-to-control pain during the first 2 post-op days last year, when we did the procedure in an outpatient surgical center. Dr. Rad performed a full facelift to expand on the necklift, and he customized my surgery for a rapid recovery. My post-op appearance is so much better in terms of swelling and bruising: at post-op day 9, I can already see the results will be extraordinary. (Bodywork is still very swollen and bruised but looks good so far.) Pictures to follow once bruising and swelling are more resolved. This forum doesn’t give me the opportunity to give Dr. Rad adequate praise, but he is truly amazing.
