WORTH IT
Booked for Thursday. October 1st for facelift, brow lift, neck lift, chemical peel and dermabrasion. I am so anxious already my pre op appt. is Sept 10th..can,t wait. Have read every facelift on real self hope mine goes as well as those I've viewed on Real Self. Found my Dr. on their web site...booked consult with Dr. Frank Fechner after reviewing him and several others on the site. Went for my consult with him on Sept. 19th and knew he was the one for me. His manner was friendly yet professional as was his office staff. Booked surgery the very next day after checking his credentials. I will post some before photos soon.

Good Luck! I just had it all completed, Full face lift, Neck Lift, Brow Lift Etc. about 3.5 weeks ago in Tijuana Mexico for $8K My results are amazing. I went to Kaiser locally. to have my sutures removed and the Kaiser Plastic surgeon said my Plastic surgeon did a fabulous job. I then told her it was Dr. Quiroz for Cosmed clinic in Tijuana, who is US Board certified and practiced in Newport Beach, CA near my office for 15 years. Beautiful offices, state of the art equipment and recovery center. The Kaiser plastic surgeon was shocked at how inexpensive it, I had virtually, ZERO pain. I went to see him yesterday for a follow up visit and everything is great. I am having him and the other surgeons do my yummy tuck is next in approx. 60 days for $5600. You are going to love seeing yourself in the mirror. I am so happy to look 15-20 younger (That is what everyone is telling me) Upload your before and afters.

any amount will be worth it. Each patient is different with different specific needs and that is what Dr Fechner takes into consideration when pricing.

Oh, hi again. Now I see that others have asked the same question and, don't take me as being disapproving, but you don't wish to share the cost? it is so helpful to those of thinking of consulting with him from far away to know, even a ball park figure. it may be worth it for any amount as you say, and I don't think anyone would deny it, but not all of us can pay any amount. So, even a ball park figure. If not, I will call his office and see if they can give a ball park. Some doctors for example start at $6400, others are around $8500, and others are upwards of 15k, for just the facelift. so, just an idea would be helpful.

Shoot! Everything will work great, but you really should have CO2 laser resurfacing as opposed to micro-dermabrasion. That procedure does nothing! I've had dozens of them without success. Puffs up the skin for a day, or two, then it's gone. You have to do over and over and no end. You might reconsider. CO2 laser resurfacing will work wonders for you!!! Tightens, firms, and smooths the skin. I'm really excited for you to have a new and younger look! I'll check on your progress. Please post photos. Best of luck to you!!!! Kindest regards, Saundra

Thanks Saundra, The procedure is not micro-dermabrasion, it is medical grade dermabrasion which is done on a much deeper level and is what Dr. Fechner feels is best for my skin type. I have had micro-dermabrasion in the spa and your right it does next to nothing. Thank you for your good wishes I truly appreciate them and I will definitely post pictures of all updates.

I agree with Saundra. Microdermabrasion is a waste of money. I've been just thinking about fraxel. I have no wrinkles because of PS but I always want to keep up on everything. I would never go back to the old me. I am so happy smiling and looking young. My doc was doctor Kris Reddi in wpb, florida. He has a keen eye. from India and really great. He gave me back years. good luck today is onlt the first day of the rest of your life. Each day you will heal to a beautiful face. Just be patient it does feel sore and bruised but worth every pain.

Hi, Janet! Thanks for writing! Glad you concur with microderm-abraision. It looks good for a day, or so, because it puffs your skin, giving you the feeling it removed wrinkles. I'm sure its great to remove dead skin, but for me, that's it.

Great to take the step to feel young again after only a week. So happy just like you! This is the closest I felt I would ever come to finding a fountain of youth. Enjoy hearing from you!

Kind regards,
Saundra

On pins and needles waiting for my pre op visit. Bringing my niece with me for a second pair of ears as I know I will forget half of what he says because of anxiety. Keep second guessing my decision to go forward even though I have been thinking of doing this for several years now. Just a case of nerves...my niece is very supportive which is a great help. She went with me for my initial visit and was very encouraging.. I know once the surgery is over and I am on the mend I will be glad I went through it. Just the waiting that makes me anxious, wishing I was having surgery tomorrow.

I just went in for my pre op. I thought I was fine, then on the way there my hands started shaking. I knew for certain that he was the doc for me, but still, it's a big step, and anxiety is one of them! He gave me my prescriptions for after the procedure and a few Xanax in case I get these nerves again, which completely helped. Good luck, mine is schedule for next Tuesday.

I was originally going to wait until October, but they had an earlier opening so I decided to take it instead of stewing in my juices! I am very excited, np and I am sure your outcome will be fantastic! Good luck!
