This 66-Year-Old Woman Spent Over $250,000 on Nine Cosmetic Procedures — And the Results Are Stunning

We’ve all seen those jaw-dropping before-and-after plastic surgery transformations — some from celebrities, others from everyday people. This time, it’s a 66-year-old woman named Lisa from Iowa who’s making headlines for turning back the clock with a combination of nine cosmetic procedures.

Lisa’s story is one of self-awareness, confidence, and transformation. She knew from her 30s that one day, she’d want cosmetic surgery. But it wasn’t until she turned 60 that she truly felt disconnected from her reflection. “I didn’t recognize myself anymore,” she told People. That’s when she turned to her daughter for help.

Her daughter had been following Dr. Mike Nayak, a highly sought-after plastic surgeon based in St. Louis, Missouri. Initially, Lisa thought she’d have to travel to Los Angeles to get the best results — but after seeing Dr. Nayak’s work and having a Zoom consultation that gave her a “gut feeling,” she was sold. She joined his one-year waiting list.

Last June, at 65, Lisa underwent what Dr. Nayak calls an “Omakase Facelift” — a personalized, all-in-one approach tailored to each patient’s facial structure and needs. The full list of procedures she had? A deep-plane facelift, deep neck lift, brow lift, upper and lower blepharoplasty, fat transfer, lip lift, earlobe reduction, and CO2 laser resurfacing. The entire surgery lasted six hours.

The transformation was nothing short of incredible. Gone was the sagging skin on her neck, the fine lines, and tired eyes. In their place: a lifted, glowing, youthful face that took decades off her appearance. According to Dr. Nayak, the goal wasn’t to pull Lisa’s face upwards in a typical fashion, but to open up her natural facial structure by gently pulling the skin outward — highlighting her cheekbones and jawline.

Despite undergoing multiple procedures in one session, Lisa reported no pain, just some discomfort, swelling, and bruising during recovery. Emotionally, it was a rollercoaster — but one that ended with her feeling confident and empowered. “I think women kind of become invisible after 50,” Lisa shared. “But now I’ve got my mojo back.”

As for the cost? While Dr. Nayak doesn’t publicly list his “Omakase Facelift” pricing, estimates based on procedures on his site suggest Lisa may have spent at least $257,000. Here's a breakdown of estimated pricing:

Deep-plane facelift & deep neck lift: $150,000–$175,000
Brow lift: $30,000–$40,000
Upper & lower blepharoplasty with fat transfer: $20,000
Lip lift: $20,000
Earlobe reduction: $7,500
CO2 laser resurfacing: $10,000

Lisa doesn’t regret a penny. In fact, her transformation has sparked curiosity — and admiration — from those around her. “People ask if I’ve had work done — usually after a glass of wine,” she laughed.

Ten months post-surgery, she’s keeping up with her skincare routine and recently had just a “tiny drop of filler” in one cheek to maintain symmetry. She’s proof that aging gracefully doesn’t always mean aging quietly — and that investing in yourself is always worth it.

Thinking of Undergoing a Transformation Like Lisa’s?
Combining multiple procedures in a single session is becoming more popular among patients who want comprehensive results and a single recovery period. But it’s essential to choose an experienced surgeon who tailors the approach to your unique facial structure — just like Dr. Nayak did for Lisa.

If you’re planning ahead, now might be the time to start saving, researching, and thinking about the results you want. Whether you're 30 or 60, it’s never too early (or too late) to take control of your confidence.
