I hope to visit Ecuador in the next few months and am interested in getting a mini-face and neck lift as well as having my arm wings removed and am wondering if anyone has any advise. The posts here seem to all be quite old and finding good info online is difficult. How does one rate a surgeon other than by word of mouth.

How small is your face? You have described a bat!
I have never understood why people do this. Vanity? Oh well, if you are that displeased with your looks, and this is all about looks, maybe you should spend a year or two in Vilcabamba and get in touch with yourself then make the decision.

I've seen some cosmetic work done to people in Ecuador. A mini-lift will last you about 2 yrs.
I've had surgery, not plastic, in Ecuador. Quito & doctors at Metropolitano Hosp. are good.

I'm not a small person by any means so my face is big. My complaint is that from my early 20's my face began to "fall" and everyone thinks I'm mad all the time. Vanity? Not really but no one wants to look mad all the time. Arms - now that's probably a bit of vanity.

As in the USA, there are good doctors and bad doctors.

It takes more research than a recommendation from strangers on an internet site. It takes meeting and communicating with doctors and with people who have used that doctor to see if it is the person you want cutting into your flesh and reassembling you and that the results will be as promised.

That type of communication is hard enough in English for most people. How well do you speak Spanish is an important question.

You also may want to read about the the 19 year old beauty pageant queen who died from liposuction cosmetic procedure in Guayaquil-Duran just a couple of weeks ago. She had very minimally invasive surgery and she was very tiny...
