I had a weekend lift feb 14th and very happy with the results . I have worked outside with my hobby for years, and sun and genetics left me looking older than I felt inside. My mothers neck was is very droopy as was her mothers and I seem to have inherited that. I lost 30 lbs last year and promised myself IF I lost it and kept it off I would think about getting some work done. I would not do a full facelift- way too much down time and expense and risk.
I had a weekend lift, neck lift and some botox. I am finishing up with some Juvederm for the lines around my mouth. My doctor has been wonderful, supportive and ALWAYS available any time for my concerns or problems.
I had a great deal of lasticity in my skin and a lot! If you didn't know me it was not that noticible, and I went out after 2days back to work in 7.

Thanks for sharing on RealSelf! Any chance you could post another "after" photo with you in full lighting? It's a little hard to tell how great your results are with half your face in shadows.

I'm glad you're happy with your transformation! What did your "mini lift" encompass?

It was mini with neck and botox -plans are for some juvederm next Friday , and a chemical peel later on this spring. I still swell in relation to sulphites (allergy) in foods and some days I look better than others but I can see a big improvement and so can my husband so it's good. I will say my eyes and cheekbones were more dramatic -before-but ill trade the drama for the nicer neck;)

I still have some swelling some days, more than others, still have some lines to fill and while it is not perfect, neither am I and I look much better, more rested and happy more like the person I am inside. I can live with the imperfections of my face -it is me:)

Hi I am a new member and I just got linked to your post ~ I know it's a year or so after your mini lift but I think you look great! I had one 3 months ago and I love it ~ I wish it had removed a few more finer lines but I love not having the wattle and the little jowels I was getting are gone ~ I am 60 years old so I kept realistic expectations ~ I look like myself only a bit refreshed so no one knows except my husband but they think I look good! I also had a circumferential abdominoplasty at the same time to get rid of lax skin ~ At first the doctors thought I was crazy to want that as I am very healthy /active and only weigh 98 pounds but it is something I have wanted to do since I had my only child 40 years ago! Now that they see the difference they get it! Sorry I am rambling ~ I like your horse ~ I have two of my own ~ been a horse person since I was born! Interesting we also have in common is the allergy to sulphites which is scary when one is having surgery as a lot of drugs that put you out and or numb us up have sulfites in them so I am always triple checking before anything goes into my body ~ My allergy results in anaphylaxis ~ Do you have the same issue? I was wondering if you are happy with the juvederm and does it last? I'm thinking about the finer lines but I don't want to get them filled and have a puffy look I like my thin face. I hope you are still happy with your outcome ~ I highly recommend the mini lift can't even see the scars I know I am happy!

I love mine too! I like the restylane or juve for the fine lines and it's INSTANT no waiting like Botox. Does not puff me up, maybe my cheeks a bit but I am such a sweller from salt, sulphites, nitrates msg etc. right now I am up 10 lbs too, so I'm a little rounder all over. I'm not too tall, but carry a decent amount of weight and muscle. I retired this year, so I have a bit more time for my horses:)
