WORTH IT$10,000
Went through a divorce - not easy - so wanted to do this for me - and it was the best thng I could have done!!
It took me a long tme to decide to have a facelift & eye procedure -I read all the "horror" stories and I was scared - but I wanted to do this for "me" so I went to seminars, and really studied up on the procedures, the doctors, etc.
I am so, so happy with my procedures - it is better than I expected and for me, there was no pain whatsoever - maybe that will not be the same for everyone - but it was for me. I had my surgery May 11 so I am still healing, but so far the resuls are amazing!!!

Hi - good luck on you upcoming surgery!! I just posted some before pics along with a pic the day I had it done (May 11, 2011) I guess I did not realize how I had aged (I feel due to the stress of the divorce - it was like almost overnight that I just aged). I am so happy with the results and I a sure you will be also. Let me tell you I was scared and questioning myself right up until I went in. I did not stay overnight - but had my siste and a friend stay with me for a few days - but like I said - I did not have any pain - the hardest thing for me was the sleeping as you cannot lay flat and have to sleep in an almost sitting position so it you have a recliner - that would be where I would sleep. Another thing I did not realize and after doing some research I found out I was not alone - and that is I did get depression and I guess that is somewhat common - you really are very limited, for at least a few weeks) in doing anything - no lifting, etc. - so you liteally can do nothing and it can be depressing - and I am a very upbeat person - so realize that could happen and have close friends/family visit - get some good books, etc. - it does go away - and I love my new look - please keep me posted I would love to see your before/after and your comments.

Thanks for the useful information and the excellent pictures. WOW! You look fantastic! Hope my results are that good. Yes I will absolutely be sharing my story in a couple weeks. This website is fantastic and I have read everything I possibly can on several procedures (scaring the heck out of myself sometimes but your story gives me courage) - hah - guess I won't be going to Wal-Mart for awhile ;-)

You will do wonderful - I know you will!! And remember - you will be so so happy with the new you - I can't tell you how happy I am that I did it. I was like you - really scared - and actually I was going to seminars, etc. for almost 4 years before I got the courage to do it - and I did it for me - so now I look in the mirror and I like what I see - so will you!!

You look absolutely amazing, how long post op were your after pictures taken. I had a facelift and lower lid reduction on the 18th July along with a tummy tuck. I am so fed up at the moment because I still have so much swelling and bruising to my face. How long before I look normal again???

Just hang in there - it will all come together and you will be so happy. I know how you feel - I went through the same thing - the swelling kept going up and down - one day it looked like it was fnally going down the next day back swollen again - my dr said very normal and that is the healing process. I also has an almost continuous eye infection and had to take drops for that. I had the same thing you did - facelift and lower eyes done. Actually, I still have swelling under the jaw and sore behind the ears - face still numb in many spots - but that is to be expected too. The before picture was taken July 16 and my surgery was May 11 - so about 2 months - so please write me back at two months - and I bet you will look in the mirror and see how happy you are - and gorgeous!!!
Thanks for sharing your story and photo, jewels. Your "after" photos looks great. Do you mind me asking how old you are? Please post a "before" photo too, if you can.
