Hi there, lol. I have to say, I saw several people at the recovery ranch who also wished they had gone with Dr. Lev! He can do a great neck like no other. You could easily go around the dinner table and pick out his patients.
Many of the people there (both men and women) had bruises on their necks and faces, but honestly, you could not tell they had anything done other than the fact that they had bruises. Two of the ladies had actually had "facelifts" two years before(NOT with Dr. Lev), and looked like they had never had anything done. One of them decided to stay and extra week and give up her 1,400 deposit with a different surgeon after seeing how good Dr. Lev's patients looked.
I asked Dr. Lev why so many people who use other doctors have results that are not lasting, and he explained that many surgeons do mostly body work, and will do a little facial work if asked(even U.S. surgeons). He explained (not in an arrogant way), that the doctors do a type of lift where they lift skin only, or do very minor muscle work. He said that he does not like to see that happen to patients because they have the same scars as they would have if the muscle work had been done correctly, but the results do not last long (if at all). He just believes in doing thing right the first time, and he has the skill to do it right.
I had totally researched Dr. Lev, and I was confident that I would have good results. However, one thing greatly surprised me, and that was what a wonderful person Dr. Lev is. He's as amazing as an individual as he is as a surgeon. One of the nicest (and most intelligent) people I have ever met in my entire life. An amazing individual.
