I lost 85 pounds just over a year ago (YAY ME!). Sadly, the weight loss caused my face to sag terribly. I reached a point where I could not look in the mirror without seeing an old had staring back at me. I felt great (better than ever), but HATED my reflection. I looked into traveling outside the country to get a facelift that was well done as well as reasonably priced. The more research I did, the more concerned I became about leaving the country. I wanted my doctor to be someone I could access in the event of complication. I reached out to a "Book of Faces" group to find a great surgeon in the southeast US. One of Dr. Feagins previous patients reached out to me and shared her before and afters and her experience. After talking with her, I was able to locate another person who had used Dr. Feagin who was pleased with her results, so I booked an appointment for a consultation. Dr. Feagin was very forthcoming about what I could (and could not) expect from a face lift, and I felt very comfortable with the consultation. I then decided to book a date. Que Dr. Feagins nurse/scheduler, Whitney. She was extremely helpful, always available to answer questions and one of the most genuine people I've had the pleasure to work with. Dothan, AL is about 2 hours from my home, so I booked a hotel room for 3 nights (1 night before surgery and 2 nights after). I went in the morning of surgery, Dr. Feagin came in to answer any last-minute questions and mark up my face. After walking into the OR, I was given IV sedation, and knew nothing else until I woke up with my face bandaged. I COULD NOT BE HAPPIER with my results. Dr. Feagin and his team were all professional, caring, and personable. And my results speak for themselves. I feel like myself again. I could have paid more, but I don't think I could have gotten better results at any price! Highly recommend. See before and after pics below

Just over a year ago, I lost 85 pounds. When I did, my face did not bounce back. At age 60, whatever elastic I once had in my skin was long gone. Prices for facial surgery in the US were out of control. I looked into going to Mexico, but was worried about having access to my doctor after the surgery in case of complications. Que Dr. Feagin. Someone I met on a FB page recommended Dr. Feagin, who happened to be just 2 hours from my home. I searched and found another former patient of his who was also pleased with his work. I scheduled a consultation, armed with pages of questions. Dr. Feagin and his staff were friendly courteous and helpful, and I left the consultation feeling confident. I scheduled my surgery for November. I can't say enough good things about my experience and my results. I DID NOT want the wind-tunnel fake look you too often see on someone who's had 'work done'. I wanted to see myself (just a refreshed version) when I looked in the mirror. I had a lower face lift, neck lift brow lift and fat transfer. All went extremely smoothly. Dr. Feagin and his team have been with me every step of the way. I ask a LOT of questions, and don't hesitate to call if I have one. They have never once made me feel like I was interrupting and being a bother. His scheduler/nurse Whitney is the best. And my results speak for themselves.

Wow what a stunning result and transformation! I had the exact same issue with weight loss at 58. It caused a lot of lines in my neck. Instead of complimenting my on my weight loss people were looking at my neck lines and sagging face. My skin was not elastic enough, I tried fillers in my whole face, also prophilo and hamonyca (very expensive treatments) which didn’t do a thing. I had no choice but to go for the surgery. Facelift, neck lift with chin incision and two facial fat grafts later I’m happy with how I look, but next month booked for temporal brow lift also as my PS said my brow ptosis was throwing off the balance of my face (as a FL only focused on the bottom 2/3 of your face)

Thank you! I'm happy. The brow lift wasn't on my radar when I went in, but I think it really did help. I did have lots of sagging on my upper lids and the brow lift also helped with that (no bleph).

The temporal brow lift was scheduled on the day of my FL but doctor ran out of theatre time (possibly because I was super fussy as to the positioning of my incisions) So I was quite disappointed he could not also fit this in.
My PS is super affordable and he will throw in a little bit of upper bleph along with temporal brow lift under local in the rooms. I’ve had two fat grafts but my one cheek still seems hollow and ageing to me so I might have to book a third.
I’ve had fillers yesterday in upper cheek as I felt as if the FL flattened that part a bit from the lateral pull. I’m still deciding if I like it as it may be emphasising my hollow cheek. I stare in the mirror all day and every opportunity trying to get used to my new face as I feel I look so different.
I’m super nervous for the temporal brow lift …Will it suit my face, or make look aged? I haven’t booked my date just yet. But I have 3 dates to choose from for next month.
