I should have put this in originally :( Dr. Rabach is practicing at the Glasgold Group in Highland Park, NJ. Their website has a lot of information about the deep plane facelift and all the information I was given during my consultation and after surgery.

Jcnn, you look so beautiful! I am going in tomorrow at 10am. I have already canceled once back in October but I am going through with this tomorrow! I am not having eye work right now, but I am having the CO2 laser resurfacing to help with my skin tone. I have had that done before and hated the recovery but loved the result. Can I ask you have the numbness, tightness and swelling are coming along? Thanks
December 2, 2013
Dear Cindy, Yes, I still feel tightness and numbness but it's less than 2 weeks. I still cannot turn my head fully either left or right. It's coming along but now that the surgery is over, of course I want to feel 100%. I have to keep reminding myself that every day is better and better. Good luck tomorrow, you know you'll be happy once it's done!

Jcnn you look fabulous! What a quick recovery!

I love your result - your surgeon did a beautiful job - you were beautiful before, but now you look rested and younger - and most of all - NATURAL. If I saw you on the street, I wouldn't have guessed you had anything done. :)

Happy Black Friday! Day 10

Jcnn
Happy Thanksgiving:) I had my stitches out on Monday and have some scabbing and dried blood along the ears and behind my ears. The one in my left ear is very painful but i think it should fall off today. I still have some bruising on my neck but it is minimal. I'm still swollen but this lessons every day too. Under my chin is very stiff and turning my head left or right with a limited amount range. This too gets better each day. Eyelids still a little sore but yesterday was the first day I put on a full face of makeup.
Thank you everyone for all of your kind comments and encouragement!

Did you have general anesthesia or conscious sedation?
December 1, 2013
I had "twilight sedation" which I guess is conscious sedation. I had to take a pill one hour to getting to the office and then I was given another pill when I go to the office. Don't remember anything else once I was laying on the table, thank goodness!

I know many surgeons use twilight... just sounds super scary to me that the patient might wake up... then again, general scares the crap out of me because maybe I won't wake up, ever, :-)

But at least you wouldn't KNOW about the later! LOL!

Looking forward to Monday to get these stitches out! My ears were hurting yesterday, I guess from the stitches. These are my new pics. Also looking forward to putting makeup on my new face :)

I will have a revision in about a week, I had a drain the first time and it left a pouch on my neck, which is why I am having a revision. I am encouraged to see how well you look without the drain. I wear my hair short like yours so with hair styled and a little concealer on the discoloration around my ears I hope to be able to slip out on errands without looking like I was beat up! I have a 95 year old mother to take to appointments and to the grocery store a week after surgery and I am not going to tell her about the surgery so she doesn't worry. You look great!

Looks amazing!! Not even a full week and almost back to normal!!
November 24, 2013
Looks really nice. Looking forward to seeing how it progresses!

Looks fabulous! If I may ask, did you have fillers or use botox previously? Also what is your age?
November 29, 2013
I had botox on my crows feet & the bunny lines between my eyes about 2 months ago. My forehead does not have any lines or creases. I do not have any fillers. I am 56 years old. The oily skin that I have been plagued with my life finally paid off! LOL
