WORTH IT$15,000
I am nervous and excited! Can't wait! This is the biggest elective surgery that I have ever had! I will be off work for 2 weeks. I will be under general for 7 to 8 hours. I have done a lot of research and I am ready. Everyday I look in the mirror and imagine how different I think I will look. I am 48, I will be 49 in 2 weeks. I am having a Brow lift, upper and lower eyelids and a lower facelift and neck lift and ear lobe repair. It is going to be Thursday, April 25th and I will stay overnight for one night.
I am so excited. But nervous at the same time.

Getting better everyday!
It's been harder to heal because I am a seller. Mainly my eyes. They thought they might have to do a revision on the lower lids. But thankfully after taking steroid eye drops for the last 10 day I won't be needing it. My eye swelling went down a bunch. I look way better. We will look at them again in a month to make sure. Take a look at my newest before and after pic that I just posted.

Slender20, I really am sorry for some of the difficulties you seemed to have had. But I have to tell you that your face looks wonderful; bright and open and engaging! Just beautiful and particularly around the eyes. I really hope your vision has improved and your healing is on the right path. All the best.

Slender20, I am a "sweller" as well, it takes longer to heal....aren't we lucky? Lol. I swell with ANYTHING besides a position that resembles a recliner one! This morning, after a restless night, I slept on my side and woke once laying on my stomach. I woke this morning a pumpkin head again with my eyes almost shut .... And I didn't have my eyes done! Despite you being this way too, your pic looks beautiful, there is a dramatic difference, which we all hope for. ;). Good job to your PS. Does the heat cause you swelling too?

Oh, so sorry! Sleeping was really tuff for me as well. It still is an issue. I hear it will be till about the 6 month mark. Ugh! I will say that i have learned to sleep on my back more now. I was a side sleeper. It really does ruin my face with wrinkles. So, now i just cringe when i wake up and see a line running down my face from the way I slept on my face. So, all I have to do is think about that and the money I spent and I stay on my back. Yes, heat makes me swell and so does salty food! Thanks for the support!

You look great, thanks for posting. I am having the same except no brow lift but a chin augmentation. I hope I look as good as you in 2 months.

Thank you! It has been rougher than I thought but should be worth it one day once I get back to normal. I did turn a corner about a week ago and look and feeling better. Just still have issues sleeping and at work in feel like everyone is looking at me but they aren't. Thanks for your support and good luck and keep us posted on your surgery.
