I had a facelift and an eyelid lift on April the 16th, 2009. I am 52 years old and was beginning to see slight jowl lines along with a double chin. My eyelids were droopy and I had big puffy bags under my eyes. I am very happy with my eyes and overall appearance of my face.

My concern is about a weird tingling, slightly painful feeling I am having in my upper cheeks. I see some slight bruising and the cheek muscles feel like they are stretching downward. It hurts to lie on my side in bed. And perhaps its my imagination, but I see slight jowls again if i hold my head a certain way. My husband swears he sees nothing. But my concern is this tingling pain in my cheeks and I wonder if my cheeks are sliding down their original position as the sutures dissolve?

Very nice natural looking results. You must be pleased. Were your cheeks raised as part of the lift?.....Thanks for sharing your photo's!!!

Yes, Cari, they repositioned my cheeks over my cheekbones, so it looks so much better. My eyes still tend to look reddish at the end of the day. I don't really know why, but my eyes have been irritated by my soft contact lenses since the surgery. I hope that goes away.

You look so natural and Im glad everythings going well with you. Question, how many surgerys have you had in your life time? Not your face, but ladies, it take TIME TO HEAL. I'm an ex-nurse and it takes months and months for the body to heal, and more time now that we are older. "Oh, did I tell you how great you look. Beautiful job indeed.

Follow up on 2-7-2015 My face still looks awesome! I have since discovered the world of Botox and fillers and have been doing that for a year now at Dr. Ratliff's office. The stuff is amazing!! I raised my rating of Dr Ratliff to a 5 star because my face looks awesome 6 years later and because I never fail to be extremely pleased with subsequent services.
