Recently several people have inquired as to the new and often touted thread-lifts, which are the less pricey face-lifts. Although I do not have any medical education, I have access to many medical articles, surveys and websites not accessible to the general public. And of course, the obvious, I ask the doctors on our team.
Based on the information from articles and doctors, what I can say is that the less pricey face-lifts are not recommended. In a recent study in the May/June Archives of Facial Plastic Surgery, all of the participants said that they would not recommend the thread-lifts. Although the cheaper face-lifts run around $1,500-$4,500 (within the United States), they don't compare to the $6,000-$15,000 (U.S. price) face-lifts. On an average of 21 months, the improvements persisted only in the group who had the surgical face-lifts. The participants said that after the swelling subsided, the cheaper face-lifts failed to give them the much anticipated long term results.
The moral of the story: don't sell yourself short. Although you might be paying less for a procedure, you are not necessarily getting the result you expected. Remember, the final look will be worn by you. Do your homework, research the doctors, the clinics and of course the procedure.
As I have often said in other blogs, our prices at My Secret Vacation are not the cheapest you will find in Costa Rica or in other parts of the world, but our doctors are highly acclaimed and their results are often envied. You should not be looking for the cheapest price on the procedure, but for the best results achieved. Any questions? Call us at 1-888-91-BELLO.
