My Bariatric Life Massive Weight Gain & Loss Ruined My Face but Dr. Catherine Winslow Made My Dreams Come True -- and No Scars!

Here are some recent photos of me at age 53 -- no make up -- in Mexico and Belize where I lived for 4-months before I made a major life change. I really should have some professional shots done again... but honestly I don't have the time. My life is so full!

Most recently I had my hair cut super short and let it go it's natural silver and black. When I walked into Dr. Winslow's practice the ladies were gob-smacked. They thought I'd had it colored with the beautiful shades of silver. So it would be really fun to have some glamour shots done with my new look.

As for my major life change, I retired to the country up in the mountains from my big house in the city. I have 4-acres, a barn, a tractor, and a smaller house. My home is surrounded by acres belonging to other farms, so I have an incredible amount of privacy. I enjoy looking out my windows and seeing horses and cows -- too far away to smell them -- as well as the occasional wild turkeys, deer, and various others. I am in pursuit of the simple life now: organic gardening (going for my master gardener certification right now), preserving foods (canning and dehydrating), crafting my own soaps and oils, and of course, writing.

I tried to upload more than these two pix but for some reason they did not "take." So until next time...

I happened upon these old photos today that I had taken shortly before my facial plastic surgery with Dr. Winslow. Wow. I had forgotten how sagged my face was. She is a miracle worker!

I say that not only is Dr. Catherine Winslow the best facial plastic surgeon in Indy, but one of the very best facial plastic surgeon in the USA, even in North America. I have since moved out of IN but I would travel to her again for any work I want done.

In a sea of mediocrity Dr. Winslow stands head and shoulders above the crowds of plastic surgeons. As I've mentioned previously, I searched for a year for a facial plastic surgeon / plastic surgeon to do my facial rejuvenation. No one impressed me, whether a facial plastic surgeon or plastic surgeon. So many of the before and after results looked the same. My BFF said her mother had a facelift and she could not even tell that her own mother had had work done, that's how bad the work was. Then I found Dr. Winslow and OMG her work is like no other. The amazing thing is when I see patients in her office they are glowing because they are so over the moon happy with their results. Just like me.

I have been struggling with acne for quite a long time owing to digestive disorder. My clinical nutritionist recently switched me from the Acnutrol to Vitamin A from Thorne Research (a brand with no fillers or harmful additives). It has made an incredible improvement rapidly in reducing my acne. I had to take a high dose at first to get the therapeutic benefit. But then I had to back down on the dose because it began to cause hair loss. Another thing that my nutritionist recommended is to put aspirin on my acne to reduce the inflammation. I haven't tried that yet.
