Summary
What nobody tells you about facelifts, the real talk on natural results, real costs, and what actually matters.
My plastic surgeon looked at my facelift consultation list and said no to half of it. Honestly? That's when I knew he was the right one.
Listen to all the BTS of My Facelift Journey 👉http://chalene.com/facelift
Dr. Miguel Mascaro is a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon specializing in deep plane facelifts and natural results for women over 40. He only takes patients by referral. His wait list is two to three years out. And in this conversation, he was more honest with me than any surgeon I've ever talked to.
We get into everything. Why good facelift results go completely unnoticed. Why waiting too long is actually one of the biggest mistakes you can make. What's really going on when someone comes out of facial plastic surgery looking nothing like themselves? And why doing every procedure on your list at once almost always backfires.
I also tell you exactly what I had done, what Dr. Mascaro told me I didn't need, how I treated my facelift recovery like a full-time job, and yes, I tell you exactly what I paid for my extended deep plane facelift. Down to the penny. But you're gonna have to watch till the end for that one.
I am just your bossy big sister who really doesn't want you to mess up your face.

| 0:00.0 | Every woman I know has done this. |
| 0:03.0 | You stand in front of the mirror, you put your fingers right next to your ears, and you pull up. |
| 0:08.0 | Just to see, like what would it look like? |
| 0:11.0 | What would I look like if I just pulled this back a little bit? |
| 0:15.0 | Or you put your hands behind your neck and you kind of pull the skin of your neck really tight. |
| 0:20.0 | Even if you love aging, |
| 0:22.7 | nobody loves gravity. And then there's the questions that you start Googling, maybe anonymously, |
| 0:29.1 | late at night wondering, what does it really cost? What does the recovery really look like? What's |
| 0:34.7 | the right age? Should I be doing filler and Botox? Lasers? What is the difference |
| 0:40.2 | between a mini facelift, a lower facelift, a deep plane extended facelift? What do these things really |
| 0:47.3 | cost? And if you're someone who's considering it, what's the right age? Is there an order to |
| 0:52.5 | doing these things? Should you be doing small tweaks? Or do you go in and |
| 0:56.4 | get the whole thing, you know, the brow lift, the lip lift, the facelift, the deep plane, or should you |
| 1:03.0 | be making small tweaks? Like, what are the women doing who have an undetectable facelift? Who are they going to? |
| 1:10.6 | How are they finding those surgeons? And what do you |
| 1:13.4 | need to know? Today, I'm sitting down with my surgeon, Dr. Miguel Mascaro. One of the reasons |
| 1:20.2 | why I chose him is because he tells it like it is. He hates the stuff that's gimmicky. Some of the |
| 1:27.2 | practices that other surgeons are engaging in |
| 1:29.6 | with price gouging and making up creative names for what's really just a deep, plain, extended |
| 1:35.2 | facelift. And I love that he's very honest about what age you should do this at, how often you |
| 1:42.4 | might need tweaks, and what's the best course of action |
| 1:45.9 | if you haven't done anything yet? We're going to answer all of your questions, and in this |
