I Think It Was Worth It. 6 Weeks Post Op
I do believe at this stage in the healing process it was indeed worth it. My skin is tight and refreshed, my jawline is good, my eyes are healing fairly well save a small webbing on one. My forehead spasms occur less and less. I definitely look 12 years younger, for sure.
The overall results allowed me at 44 years old! to strut the runway as a model during the first ever Faces of Fashion Week in NYC. Something that on August 2nd I would have NEVER been able to do (unless we were having a faces of horror week, then I would have headlined=)
So far, I am happy.

Thank you $Girl. Everyone sees that my face is completely different. I told them I had sinus surgery and some laser resurfacing. I don't think they bought it.=)

Fantastic! Your results are beyond compare. You must be ecstatic.
August 19, 2013
I am. This is only day 15 so I am sure things will change (hopefully getting better...lol) Thanks! I call this, "My New, Rich Face."

You look amazing, like a 20 year old. So happy for you! Folks at work will think you were at an incredible spa while you were away! I've dine a ton of research and agree 100%, don't go for the lowest cost, go for the best qualified surgeon. I'm having FL in January, 2014 an early 50th Birthday present and I cannot wait. it will cost me 18k dollars but as far as I'm concerned, the benefit will be priceless. My surgeon is also triple board certified and actually worked on my Primary docs mother! I didn't know this when I chose him.....I can't wait! Again, so very happy for you!

I wish you nothing but the BEST. What a wonderful Birthday Present you're giving to yourself! I'm sure the results will be stunning. Make sure you do exactly as the PS says. Don't try to rush back to work or whatever. Make sure you relax and heal. Don't get all crazy and try to clean the house or something like I did=)
My employees were freaking out. They didn't know what I did but the one girl says, "What did you do...you have a completely different face." LOL. And the lady at the bank as well as one at Dunkin Doughnuts both said, "You look so different with you hair down." Ha! Yeah, that's what's different with me. My hairs down. =)

Uwildk, your photos are terrific, you look about 22yrs old!

Well then...it was worth every penny just to hear that! Thanks JWolfe. I hope everything is going okay???

Uwildk, I am so happy you are doing so well and your results are great!
I am still having issues with my eyes, right now I'm doing alitlle better because ps removed the Tarsorraphy stitches last week, now I'm doing eyelid exercises , 2 prescription drops and taping my eyes closed at bedtime, all this is supposed to gradually make my lids completely close.
They look weird because every day one is more swollen than the other so it's hard to gage how well they are doing. Ps says I'll know because all of the symptoms of dry eye( ie. Feeling of sand in my eye , blurriness etc.) will go away. But , I may need a revision to correct it by a ocular plastic surgeon , I'm trying to have hope that in time ( believe me, not along time as this is making me nuts) they will resolve and I won't look like Dali painting.

I am so saddened to hear this happened to you. You seem like such a great person. And you don't seem that freaked out by it, which works in your favor, believe ,me. But, it will get resolved. Just have faith everything will be allright soon!!! It's just terrible you have all these extra "steps". Is he taking any steps financially to rectify this? I hope you weren't charged for the revision.
I had all the blurryness, sand, scratchy too. It resolved after a week. Hopefully yours does do! PLEASE keep me informed as to how your doing.

Uwildk, thanks for the support, I will be seeing PS tomorrow and hoping it's a good appt with a great plan. I am promised by PS that he will help me get this resolved no matter how long it takes. I am counting on him but not sure I want him doing a revision, kinda scares me, we shall see, I loved your getting positive comments from people, it's definately worth it the $ to feel better about ourselves , it's a womans right!!! I gotta tell you that I love my neck now and the scar revision ( from a trachea) is good too. You keep on wearing your hair down and looking fabulous ! I'll keep you posted on my situation .jwolfe
