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.

What is your opinion on this website?

Hi Lorena, thanks for sending us your question. I've looked over the website and I can say that I appreciate that they post their dipolmas online. I have contacts in Mexico and I will inquire as to identities of the diplomas. I have forwarded the web address to our team of doctors in Costa Rica and once they give us their opinion I will gladly forward it to our readers on this blog.
I only have one comment to make about the information posted on that particular website. To my uneducated eye not all of the after pictures seem to be of the same person. I'm not too sure that you should believe all of the pictures you see on the website. Would you like to have your after picture taken in the recovery room? Would you like to see such big scars on your body? The latin saying caveat emptor fits perfectly here. Don't expect to pay very little and get optimum results. Remember it's your body, your look. Nothing is free!
