2013 was a year of transformation for me. I had facial rejuvenation and body contouring from head to knee! It all began with a tummy tuck on April 18th. Those results we're so dramatic that I decided to follow through on my long-held dream to do a total transformation.

Massive weight loss had left my face and body with sagging skin that aged me. Following my tummy tuck, I had my stage 2 body contouring on 10-10-13. That took care of everything below the neck. Then on 12-12-13 I took care of everything above the neck with facial rejuvenation by Dr. Winslow.

On my birthday in March of 2013 I was a size 14 and looked the 49 years that I had turned. But after my plastics I am a size 4 and look like I am in my 30s from head-to-toe. I am so very glad that I did this. I feel wonderful.

Dr. Winslow did incredible work. No one even comes close, and especially not for this kind of money. I consider myself extremely fortunate to have found two plastic surgeons who are each at the very top of their field (one for faces and one for bodies) and who do not charge people outrageous prices.

I never though that I would have a face and body like this at age 49! It is amazing what a highly skilled and talented plastic surgeon can achieve. I love my face and my body now. I am thrilled!!!

I know that you probably want to see photos, but I do not post photos of my face on the web. Not in any way that I would be recognizable anyway. You can see my body pix on my other reviews on RealSelf by visiting my profile.

Hi. Thank you for sharing your story. You look fabulous and so brave to have gone through all those procedures and come out totally content. Would it be possible for your to share what procedures you had done to your face please?

Thank you! I am glad that my surgery journey is almost over. It has taken its toll on me and my family. I am glad to have gotten it out of the way quickly, though. I just have breast augmentation left. I will probably do that in the late Spring.

Did you travel to IN for your face work or have you moved there? And did you post pics that are under another review or will you be posting soon? Also do you know what type facelift you had? Was your anesthesia IV or general? thanks, grace

Hi - I had IV sedation and I did wake up during the surgery. I was surprisingly calm, kept my eyes closed, and told the doctor I was awake. Sorry but I do not post photos of my face on the web. Not in any way that I would be recognizable anyway. Thanks for your interest, and yes, I love in IN.

Did you do a lip lift? Other than a face and neck lift what other procedures did you have and do you know what kind of facelift Dr Winslow did for you?

Awww, thank you so very much. I will tell you that I did not look human for the first two weeks! But it was worth it to get rid of my fat jowls and neck!
