I am a 78 year old male from the U.S. and 11 days ago Dr. Nares and his fantastic staff provided a neck lift, face lift, and eye and eyebrow surgery on me with absolutely ZERO pain or discomfort. I couldn’t be any happier with the results. Dr. Nares is not only a fantastic surgeon, but a wonderful person and a true gentleman. If you think you can’t afford cosmetic surgery, you should definitely contact him for a consultation. You will be amazed at the price and the results. He and his wonderful staff have been super helpful in their follow up care so far. John H. Colorado, USA
