6 month Update
This has changed my life. Turning 60 is a milestone. Many friends have passed and good health is my prime goal. Feeling good about ourselves is now or never. There is no tomorrow. As Eckhart Tolle says live in the moment. I now feel like the young inner self that I have. More refreshed, turkey neck gone and cheeks uplifted. The outcome has been total success.
My only word of advice is please wait for healing. All the lumps and bumps and swelling takes time to go down. Now 6 months later
I have some numbness on my face closer to my ears and the incision line in my head on the right side. But gradually week by week it comes back slowly. Like tingles and icheyness. The swelling under my chin took about 4 months to release.
It has been so worth it.

Fat grafting or not !
From my experience now I see one of the main things in an ageing face is loss of volume. If I just had the deep plane lift, yes all the muscle would be lifted, but I would still have the deep lines beside my mouth and my cheek bones would be more hollow. With the complete picture you need volume added. Now my nasal labial folds are gone and my cheeks are lifted and higher. Now over 4months everything is where it should be. No lumps or bumps . My face is smooth. I think a lot of this is due to the experienced surgeon. Dr Velasco does continuing research into his procedures and believe me I was nervous about having it done. But I did my research and it proved successful. I read a lot about fat transfers gone wrong.

I just read the post you made today and the nasal labial folds are one of my biggest concerns, I'll have to see if Dr. Velasco is doing fat transfer on mine. I think yours looks amazing.

Hi Kim
I am sure he will. It took all my lines away and filled the folds in great. Now over 4 month none of the fat placement has moved .

Hi Cat
I know it is scary but once I sat down with Dr Velasco I knew I made the right decision.
If you are healthy, dont smoke and have a positive attitude, your healing will be amazing.
I did all the above and took arnica tablets for healing and now over 4 months I still look in the mirror and go wow!!
Look forward to your progress. The only hard part is the first few weeks then things settle out and it gets better and better.
Keep us posted and take care.

4 months update
Things have really settled quite nicely. I still have a bit of numbness on the sides of my cheeks and in the right side of my scalp where the incision was. With the lipo under my chin I had some swelling which is gone and the skin has tightened up. My turkey neck is gone and eyelids are tight. I look in the mirror and am so happy. I would do this again in a heart beat.

Hi hun,
Is the flight cost included? How much do you think it would be if it was just face lift no botox and local anathesia? My mom is 74 and wants to have a lower facelift but she afraid to do general anesthesia. Please send me a private message with Dr or clinic info?
Thanks You look good post-op and it's a pretty good price with all that's included.

The latin term caveat emptor is fitting here...let the buyer beware.
I am very healthy and heal quickly and well. There are other ladies on my review that have had my results.
I am not a doctor and who knows what causes them but it kinds of unfortunate people are really cutting down my doctor as I know in 6-12 months they will step back and say wow my results are great. Again and again I say it takes time.
Oh and your comment of unfortunate people. Go look in the mirror. I will never look like you!!!!!!! You and I aren't even on the same playing field and never will be. I hadn't done a review because I want my results and even if they aren't as good as yours.. my face that GOD gave me blows yours away and still does.
I am curious like everyone else what causes Hematomas. That's it nothing personal to you. Just trying to figure it out. As some get them and some don't..
Please don't threaten me and get so aggressive. Its just general interest.
Mostly the happy ones leave and get on with life.
I am sad you are saying the awful things you are. Glad you are so beautiful.
