I'm 48 and for as long as I can remember I have hated my "fat face." That has only gotten worse with age and weight and, sadly, I have inherited my mom's neck waddle and jowls. Yes, I could stand to lose weight but even when I was 40lbs lighter, that waddle was there and so were the jowls... Read more

I have been following others on this site and have found it most helpful. I appreciate all of the advise and shared experiences of those who have and are going through this too. I have posted most of this before but will repeat some of it here. I am 61 and will celebrate my 62nd... Read more

Back in 1997 I had a facelift, brow-lift and upper and lower eyes. I was not impressed with the way I healed (basically horrible scarring). After visiting other plastic surgeons to get their opinion on what may have went wrong, I learned that the doctor pulled everything too tight and caused... Read more

I don't know if I am posting under the correct heading. I had a Macs lift one month ago. I am so very happy with how my face & neck look. I think this procedure has taken 20 years off my face. I used to look in the mirror and cringe. Now I look in the mirror and smile. There was definitely... Read more

I hated the jowls and turkey neck I had developed over the last few years. Although I was 55 years old I found clerks giving me the senior discount and co-workers asking me when I was going to retire. I carefully chose my doctor and the results from my lower facelift and neck lift have exceeded... Read more

I had jowles, my neck was sagging, eye lids dropping over my eyes and bags underneath my lower lids. I was looking years older than 49. It has given my self-confidence back and I feel more attractive and accepted.I have posted before and after pictures of my surgery and it has been 19months. I... Read more

I had a lower facelift, neck lift, and neck liposuction done 5 weeks ago. I must say, the healing process has gone quite well! I am an active, healthy 60 year old who had some jowling going on and my neck and chin were aging. Decided after years of pulling my skin back and thinking "wow,... Read more

I feel so much better about the way I look. In retrospect, I believe I felt old and tired because I looked that way, despite the fact that I'm active and live a healthy lifestyle. I've never colored my hair, although it's been turning white since I was 30, and surprisingly that has... Read more

Went to Turkey to tighten my turkey neck. Neck looks better, but still have jowls, don't look any younger per say and have to huge scar underneath chin and behind ears after 8 months. So disappointed. So much pain, so much money, so little satisfaction. Read more

My Mini Facelift began one month before the surgery when Dr. Lacerna recommended an Obaagi Blue Peel for my face and neck. The results were amazing....my skin looked so healthy and smooth, tighter and definitely diminished wrinkles on my 65 year old sun damaged face and upper chest area. I... Read more

I'm pushing 50 and over the last three or so years I started to notice the "jowls" that run in my family start to make their appearance on my face. They were not dramatically obvious and as a matter of fact Dr. Cooper suggested as an option that I consider to wait until my particular issue was... Read more

The first week was more intense than I expected. I was more swollen than I thought I would be and I ended up with quite a "shiner" from fat being injected under my eyes. I definitely cannot over emphasize the importance of frozen peas! It makes the pain tolerable as you heal and just helps so... Read more

So, I had my lower facelift/necklift 5 days ago (3/7/13) and I'm pretty sore and swollen/bruised. I am wearing a compression headpiece? for a week as many hours a day as I can tolerate (PS said 24/7 for a week unless eating or going out). Definitely not going out yet, but the thing is kind of...

I didn't like seeing all the bags and sags in the mirror, especially the mirror at work! I got a lower face and neck lift. I didn't do my eyes, I might save that for later. I was really happy when I got done that everything seemed fine. I could smile and I looked normal. I was afraid of nerve... Read more

Most people assume that I am a lot younger than my chronological age, however I was experiencing the first signs of softening of the jawline and loosening of the neck skin. While I had initially planned to wait a few more years and my doctor certainly agreed that I could easily do so, I decided... Read more

I have been considering this procedure for the last year or so. I had discussed it with my Dr recently and wanted to do it while my skin still had good elasticity. It has been 11 days since my scheduled procedure and even though I still have some bruising that I am able to cover with makeup,... Read more

50 is nifty. Well at least that's what they say. While I am a very happy, upbeat person, I felt for some time that my looks were starting to age me beyond my still "young" age frame! For as long as I can remember, I have hated my eye bags and my neck that was heading south. I knew from the... Read more

The surgery lasted four and a half hours as was expected. I returned the next day to the clinic for bandage removal. The most pain I experienced was if I forgot to take medication in the night ,but by 72 hours I had taken my last pain pill and was on to tylenol. One incentive in getting off the... Read more

I thought about the procedure for many years and finally decided to take the plunge. Complete confidence in my doctor. No pain after the procedure but some swelling and discoloration for maybe 2 weeks. Wearing the neck strap 24/7 (at home) can be annoying, but after short while only had to wear... Read more

For years I looked at myself and was so frustrated with my lax skin and my large nose and ill defined chin. For YEARS. When I turned 40, I decided to go for it and do the chin implant and lower face lift. BEST DECISION OF MY LIFE. Do not wait another day if you struggle. Yes there is some... Read more
