You know it was tough the first week - having to go in on day 3 to get suture from eyes removed! Let me back up for a moment - I had a facelift - neck lift - lower bleph and fat injections in "smile lines" and frown lines. Also the physician fee was 15,300 the rest was surgery center - anesthesia - private scrub. Ok, next had my children in my 40's - my daughter is now 16 and I have twin boys who are 11 years old. So, with my sagging neck people would think they were my grandkids. People still have not learned to " [RS bleep]-up". Shape was I run marathons. And do a variety of sports - so my body and mind did not match my face! I originally found my surgeon by top ten plastic surgeons in Denver. I had him initially do rhinoplasty - remove implants and yes liposuction on areas that would benefit my training. Everything turned out beautiful. So now time for a facelift -- I did not hesitate to use Dr, John Grossman - Denver. Yes, he was more expensive but if I am going to be under the knife for 7 1/2 hours you better trust your gut! Anyway's, first week tough ( view photos). Not once though did I ever say I wish I hadn't had this done! If this is the way you want to go make sure you are prepared to feel like you are wearing a tight helmet on your head 24/7 and you have patience. If you don't or that feeling would drive you nuts ( gets better at week four) stick to fillers!!
I hope the photo's will help you - they are from first getting marked to end of week three. I can say give it a few months but in reality you should be able to say "wow" who is this younger chick!!????
Now when my boy's enter high school I will feel like their MOM.

Thanks so much for posting the close-ups around your ears. That's such an important incision to see the dr's work and your outcome! Your incisions look great! You really look great all the way around. You must be thrilled. Congratulations!

Wow you look so beautiful! You healed so great. My doctor did not do the incision under my chin for my neck lift...I have some skin hanging under there and he is willing to do the revision at no charge when he does my boob lift. How is that chin scar healing? Are you using scar gel? I have been using kelocote with success.

Humm, seems like everyone used this Kelacoat - I use the real bacitracin -- that's it! Good point I will pat a picture of my chin -- again everything still numb - except a few places on my face

Well, for some reason I could post the side of my face on day 27 and can't on my chin incision but I am trying -- strange

Thank you --- I was reading about the little pimples under your eyes -- not sure if anyone commented back but that is part of the healing process -- just a scar line -- and of course bruising and then it turns into little white pimples - bodies way of healing and then it flattens out so it becomes invisible

You look amazing
