Some years ago I had a Brain Aneurism which left me very worn-out and aged. Besides that, with the day-to-day disappointments I remained very worn (and) flaccid, and then decided to do facial plastic surgery.

I met Dra. Mariângela when I was asked by a dermatologist to accompany my nephew to the Hospital dos Defeitos da Face (Hospital for Facial Defects) to remove some "spots", (it was then that I) felt her very accessible and capable.

With allot of tranquility, I looked for her for an appointment and then I set (the date for) the surgery.

She did a total lift, with the eyes and neck. What attracted me most about the Dra´s proposal was knowing that the surgery would be done with a technique that would accommodate the muscles so that only afterwards repositioning the skin, without leaving a "pulled" appearance. (1)

I felt so happy because of the result, that I did not even perceive the normal discomforts of the recuperation (period). In ten days I was active again, only with small surgical tape (note: flesh colored) near the eyes and chin, with little swelling.

The surgery surpassed my best hopes. (A person) Who has not seen me in some time does not perceive that I submitted myself to a surgery, because my features have not changed. They only find that I am well, that time has not passed for me. I am already planning a new surgery, with Dra. Mariângela, without a doubt.
