Lisa arrived from Los Angeles \u2014 a city with no shortage of aesthetic surgeons \u2014 carrying a \"lifelong dream\" of rejuvenation and one significant fear: general anaesthesia. Overwhelmed by options at home, she found her answer in AKM Clinic's awake surgery programme, where her combination of procedures could be performed under local anaesthesia with sedation, removing the very risk that had kept her from proceeding for years.<\/p>","text_2":"
The scale of her surgery makes her recovery the headline: an awake Deep Plane Facelift, Neck Lift, Upper Blepharoplasty and Arm Lift in one plan \u2014 and Lisa reporting she felt \"fantastic\" within days, describing the recovery as \"easy\" and \"smooth\". Treated \"like royalty\" from airport to final check, her only stated regret was not doing it sooner. Her video tells the rest in her own words.<\/p>","procedure_facts_1":"Procedures: Awake Deep Plane Facelift, Neck Lift, Upper Blepharoplasty, Arm Lift, CO2 Fractional Laser","procedure_facts_2":"Key to Trust: Expert Guidance on Local Anaesthesia & Being \"Treated Like Royalty\"","procedure_facts_3":"The Experience: Feeling \"Fantastic\" Just 4 Days After Major Combination Surgery"},"class_list":["post-15840","video-testimonials","type-video-testimonials","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/akmclinic.com\/en-gb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/video-testimonials\/15840","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/akmclinic.com\/en-gb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/video-testimonials"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/akmclinic.com\/en-gb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/video-testimonials"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/akmclinic.com\/en-gb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/video-testimonials\/15840\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":30009,"href":"https:\/\/akmclinic.com\/en-gb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/video-testimonials\/15840\/revisions\/30009"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/akmclinic.com\/en-gb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4548"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/akmclinic.com\/en-gb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15840"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
