    Can anyone provide recommendations for doctors who do face lifts and eyelid surgery? This is too important to be flying blind. Thanks.

    Try Dr. Macaya Bolanos in SJ Office: 506-258-0396
    Office: 506-233-5490
    E-mail: drmacaya@msn.com
    We were in his office in March for consultation and based on his experience, his clinic, references and training in the US my husband has now a facial operation scheduled with him in August. (He is older than me) A 14 day stay is recommended. We obtained 3 estimates in West Palm Beach which were more than twice as much. Considering flight, room and board etc, we will still have enough leftover to make another trip to CR.

    There is a clinic in San Jose near the Hospital De Nino. The name of the clinic is Sante Lucia. My friend is a nurse and she worked for them for 3 years. They are excellent, speak English but are not one of the advertisers in our well known newspaper. Telephone numbers I can not provide at this moment but if you are interested let me know and I will get the information for you.

    Senta:
    Thanks for the info. I contacted Dr. Federico Macaya and the earliest opening they have is Sept. I work in a school and need to be presentable enough to be at work by Sept 5th. so I asked them to put me on a list in case there is a cancellation/rescheduling. thanks again for the info.

    To Rita: My husband will his “facial” done Aug. 18. You may call Dr. Macaya on his cell: 011-506-384-3467 perhaps he can schedule you before Sept. 1. I believe Jenny mentioned the same clinic because this Dr. has his clinic just around the corner from Nino Hospital

    Hi all:
    You were all so helpful, I wanted to bring the discussion full circle. I contacted Dr. Macaya through arrivacostarica.com and talked to his staff about what I wanted done to make my face and eyes look younger. They gave me information and a reasonable estimate of costs (I also got similar information from other doctors for comparison). They said their first opening was at the end of Sept. so I asked them if they kept a cancellation list. They indicated that they had a cancellation on July 12th and could I make it here. Long story short, I got here, had the surgery and am EXTREMELY pleased with the outcome, Dr. Macaya’s follow-up and care, and his bedside manner which totally calmed any nervousness. So, alls well that ends well. Thanks so much for your help and guidance.
    Rita
