Doing good! Still have issues with swelling with ANY sodium.....ugh. And if I sleep on my side I get more puffy, and at times lopsided near eyes and forehead (browlift most likely). Look at these peepers though! So happy :)

Exhausted beyond belief today. Headache and weird nerve pain as well. I know this will all pass, I hope sooner than later! I am loving the eyes and brow work :)

Leval, It was 9 month between your eye work and facelift. Were you better able to communicate your desired outcome for your eye lift after going thru the facelift AND after following the many results and reviews on RS for the past 9 months. I guess you know I am a firm (perhaps beyond firm) believer in a studied approach....:) grace

Yes and no. I knew what I wanted with the eyes at the time of the FL, but I was to scared to do it all at once. Now that I have gone through it, it would have been better to do it all at once. Less anesthesia , less time off of work, etc. with that said, I am a methodical and analytical thinker, and can drive myself crazy with over thinking; so my personality type wouldn't allow me to just jump head first in. LOL. RL has helped a lot with the browlift portion. Wanted natural, I knew I didn't want the endotines or screws. I was happy when I asked (after studying these items) that he does not use them any longer.
At some point, if we are going to do this, we have to take that huge leap of faith!

(drive myself crazy with over thinking) methodical and analytical thinker" that's me too so I'm asking for a conservative approach because "my personality type wouldn't allow me to just jump head first in" also. you were braver than me getting the browlift done as well. Good for you. How's everything going?

I went back to work on Monday, the reaction to people there confirmed my good decision to get the eyes done. I also went to a function where I haven't been for a while, and was asked out on a date.......wow! I have dipped my toes in and out of the dating pool, but didn't feel ready for that, but I'm going to go on the date now. Minimally, it will help me to get experience with it once more. I felt unhappy about my looks, so that translated into an unhappy version of me.
I asked my PS when the brows would begin to fall again, and he said other than the swelling going down, they shouldn't fall. He does not use the endotynes or screws. He said he used to use them, but went back to the older way because there were too many issues with them later on. I think he made them look very natural, and not surprised looking. The goal was not an overly arched and elevated brow, but a gently lifted and more feminine look. I am over the moon happy!
