12 Months On ????
Hello my lovelies, I know it has been sometime since I popped in felt like I have spent the last 6 months or so in a crazy wind tunnel ???? like everyones life lots of great & not so great but hey won't go there ???? For any newbies reading I live in NZ & had a full facelift through Gorgeous Getaways on the 3 June 2014 with Dr Jalil in Malaysia. Contemplated this decision for sometime & then just decided "I am doing this"so here is my 12 month update & I hope it helps anyone following behind me or in the event you are contemplating a procedure in the future. I have attached photo's at 12 month or close too.
All in all it has surely been a journey of healing & to be honest still going through it today. For the most it has been quite seem less, with no real issues - there is still lots of numbness down sides of face & cheek bone area mostly & I am still prone to swelling if I over do things & of course I am that person that over does things, like doing 10 things at once ???? Am I happy with the results? On a personal level absolutely delighted, I still look exactly like me, just less drawn & not so much laxy, crinkly, liney droopy skin, very pleasing, given I am 60. Don't get me wrong I can still look shockingly tired & age over night if I do to much, don't get enuff sleep, eat rubbish & don't manage stress better ???? So pls know as effective as any procedure is - you still need to look after yourself. Scars negligible, neck droop & jowls gone, Always had reasonably good skin & now just tighter & not droopy & loose. So yep do it again in a heartbeat. Catch my hubby out the corner of my eye at times ???? & see his quirky smile, he can't believe I actually did it all lol
The best compliment to date & amazingly there have been many hehe. I was offered a senior position based in Australia, the person conducted the interview whilst in NZ on other business. I declined the offer although in time we would like to retire in Australia. In short I informed the lady interviewing me over coffee, that I was under contract with my current role until 2018, so thanks but no thanks. She then asked if I would like to consider coming & joining their organization at that time? With that I told her...You do realize that in 2018, I will be 63 & my birthdate is on my profile? Well she didn't drop her coffee cup but she did spill at least half of it on her designer suit lol???? OK OK after cleaning her up I did share with her that I knew a good surgeon ???? & I think I spent the rest of the time listening to her compliments (nice) & talking about surgery, with her lifting my hair looking for tell tale scars etc - was so funny & I will never forget it. For the record she thought between 45-50 yrs ???????? So yes my lovelies all in all I am very very happy with my decision & now that my year is done I intend to concentrate on health & fitness & eating healthy to try & prevent the onset of preventable older age illness which are probably all lying in wait aghhh. I am still working full time in a senior role with 80 staff, run our holiday home business, 6 homes, oversee property renovations & try & be the best Grandma I can be to our grandy's. My eldest daughter was killed in a car accident ???? so me & my hubby look out for her 3 girls. So yes a full on life & 1 I wouldn't swap for the world. Life is no dress rehearsal & we each got to make the best of the good, the bad & the ugly & just keep on trucking. Family is Family full stop & your friends well they are family we choose for ourselves / I love mine dearly. Make the most of everyday & do whatever it takes to feel a million bucks xx

3 month mark & counting
Hi there my lovelies, well finally at the illusive 3 month mark & doing OK from all accounts. Healing as well as anyone, no doubt but man it has its moments. Love to be able to say all the swelling, lumps, bumps, tightness & numbness have gone but actually NO, all still happening & somedays worse then others. Often feel like 1000 ants are running all over my face, whilst someone is tightening screws in the side of my head lol. Convinced that YES the ladies ahead of me are definitely right & it certainly will take up to 12 months to be finally through it all :-( Life otherwise has been pretty full on to say the least, work & family dramas all going on :-) but hey that's life for most of us & I hold tight to the saying "what doesn't kill us just makes us stronger, so about now I am pretty bullet proof Id say" lol. Hope everyone is doing well on your healing journey - thinking of you.
9 weeks & counting
Hi there my lovelies - well back from our wonderful holiday in Vietnam. Had the best ever time with our friends & definitely going back again :-) as for the face, neck & eyes? Would have liked a bit more healing time b4 going but none the less managed well enuff. Weather was hot hot & hot & the swelling was all going on & still is more round side of face then anywhere. Got my dimples back & eyes not so chingy anymore so all going pretty well really. Neck still swollen & puffy but softening up heaps. This morn the woman at the servo asked what skin care & foundation I used & said she been meaning to ask me for sumtime lol She did not believe it when I told her I turning 60 lol so that was a great way to start the day. Hope you are all healing well & happy happy with your results. This healing is a lengthy process for sure :-) progress mug shots as follows lol
