Lifestyle Lift: Stories

Hi Debbie, It's been 7 weeks since the surgery. I am doing well and very pleased with results still. I did not have much down time Debbie. My husband and I stayed a few days at a hotel, and returned home and went to church on day 4. I'm a teacher out for summer break so work was not an issue. However, I would have been ready to go back to work that Monday, which would have been day 5. I felt good, with no pain or swelling at this point. I returned to moderate exercise after 2 1/2 weeks. I wanted to go sooner but husband insisted I follow doctor's orders. After about 3 1/2 weeks I was back to harder workouts, and 1 to 2 mile(s) jogs 3 days a week. The hardest part for me was the numbing needles during the procedure, and not being able to workout. I still have numbness but not nearly as much as several weeks ago. This is gradually improving. The only time I notice it is if I actually touch the area. Some have not had my healing experience. I am sorry for them. If you are considering the procedure, I believe the doctor makes the difference in the outcome. Do your homework. A good surgeon is worth the drive or flight.

Debbie, Hi. It's been 3 months now, and I'm very pleased with the results still. I did not have much down time. Three days in a hotel with hubby, day 4 at church. About 2 1/2 weeks after procedure light to moderate workouts and the regular rigorous workouts accustomed to in about 3 1/2 weeks after the procedure. Still have numbness at earlobes but much less than even 1 month ago. It's only noticeable upon touching. Yes, still very pleased Debbie.

I would love to see your results- I can identify with your feelings- I want to look into this procedure but terrified to think about how it is done.
