I Love It! Also Had Upper Eyelids Done

ORIGINAL POST

I had my procedure done on Wed. 7/1/09. I chose...

WORTH IT$5,100

I had my procedure done on Wed. 7/1/09. I chose to also have my upper eye lids done ($1,900). I did everything the staff told me to do (from the consultation)from taking Arnica (to keep from bruising) to ice packs.

My procedure started at 8am. I was out of there at 10:30am. I have never had any type of surgery and didn't know what to expect. I left there all wrapped up with a little tape on my eyes so I really couldn't see too much.

I returned the next day when they changed my bandages and to check on my progress. Everyone was just as pleasant as they were on the first day when I signed up. I didn't have one bruise! (thanks to the Arnica and good genes, I guess)and keeping an ice pack nearby. I did have a little puffiness but that is expected.

The first two days (wed/thurs) I slept on and off and I believe that was due to the pain medication. I removed the head wrap on Friday and was very pleased with the outcome! I continued on with the instructions taking care of the areas and everything healed nicely. I had the stitches removed on the 10th day (Saturday) and couldn't have been happier.

I am a side sleeper so sleeping on my back was the part that was the hardest to deal with! Overall it is surgery. But the pain was more of uncomfort than "pain".

I have since recommended my sister who had her procedure done in CA on 7/14 and another person that is scheduling hers for Sept. in NY! (all without any referral fees!! darn!)

Ok so you recently had this done. Would you mind sharing the before and after pictures? Thanks.
How do you take the Arnica, internally or topical? If taken internally how many mg & how often? Thanks Mis
Arnica is sold at the vitamin store. they are little beadlike mints. You put 5 under your tongue.. three times a day.. you can google arnica for details --- it is a flower extract. They aren't expensive at all.
I took Arnica like I was supposed to and all the other prescriptions and was so very bruised. You were lucky
I think it all depends on the surgeon. I am still very pleased. I read some of the posts of the patients that didn't have as good of results. I have referred another person which went to the surgeon I had and she is also happy.
I had lsl july of 08. from another surgery i know i do not heal well on my left side.i fell like my neck has extra skin still.my earlobs disappeare because of the way i healed. the dr said that he would redo earlobs and laser to correct earlobs and scares on the sides of my ears; anyone else have problems with earlobs and scares. from what i have read and my history i think the scares are to be expected.i was 43 when i had the proceedure done and people who have not seen me in a year or so say i do look younger.
With the right Doctor.. it is a good procedure with great results! Sounds like your have a good doc that is willing to follow up on his work!
Has anyone had laser at lifestyle lift, If so how lond is it taking to heal
My Lifestyle Lift was 4 weeks ago. Along with the facelift, I had a free laser treatment around my mouth. My face looks GREAT......everyone comments on my skin tone and says it looks like a baby's bottom. The 25 needles of Lidocaine in my have hurt. However, the needles he inserted around my mouth almost sent me through the roof, they hurt so much! The actual burning of the laser was also painful. But.....It was all worth it as my skin looks wonderful. I am totally honest.
HowEVER........
MY concern is the numbness and tightness from the facelift and the fact I must sleep fairly upright. When, oh WHEN will the numbness go away and I can return to sleeping any way I choose?
DID YOU HAVE A LOT OF REDNESS AFTER YOUR LASER AND HOW LONG DID THE REDNESS LAST. I HAD MY DONE AT LIFESTYLE AND THE REDNESS LASTED 11 MONTHS. IT IS ALMOST ONE YEAR AND STILL SOMETIME IT TURNS RED I HAD MINE DONE MAITLAND FL
