12 months on and lower face lift and more lipo on the cards
My body recovered from the last surgery well but the menopause is still making ripples, more than just my face sliding down my cheeks to under my chin! I had discussed having a lower face lift and some fat transfer to put cheeks back on the cheek bones and perhaps some to fill in the lines forming around my mouth, last year for this year.
Then in the summer we were invited to several parties and lunches and thought I'd wear a certain dress or outfit only to discover the zip wouldn't. I was the same weight as when I bought the item, I was actually smaller in the hip and lower stomach but my upper body had altered shape. My bust is now a matronly bosom (much admired as it tries to escape from my older clothing) and there is a huge roll of flab over my ribs and back and under arms -aaaahhh! I was devastated.
I know I will never be a catwalk model and my husband say he likes something to squeeze so that is not my aim but I would like ME back, or the version in my minds eye, that is curvaceous but with proportional upper body to waist and hips not what I have.
To this end of getting back into my favorite clothes having curves in the all right places and no bulges in odd ones I have decided to have more liposuction done at the same time, a lot more. I am going to ask my surgeon to be as aggressive as possible with the lipo as I now believe , the hormonal changes aren't over so getting as many of the fat cells out as possible is the only way to recover my body shape. Buying new larger clothes might be cheaper but that is not the point as its the body shape that's changed and its not what I want to live with. Many woman's wardrobes are a walk through time, I have a skirt my nan bought when I was 13 size 14 then (but a 26" waist today its a 30"), the 1st dress my husband bought me (12), the outfit I wore to receive an award and so on. I know I have to let go and I have said I will go through every item of clothing I own and pass along what won't fit 6 months after this operation.
I asked my surgeon if I could have this work done before Christmas and have been given a date of the 12th December - Wow - and have an appointment to discuss what I 'd like - against what is possible -at the end of this month when I will have photos of the areas to be done and costs.
I will update then with photos.

2 months on and very pleased
You can see from the pictures that the eye surgery has removed the bags and sags completely and I look a lot younger, mission accomplished!
The lipo suction is a hit too, there's a tiny bit of thickening that needs to me massaged away (bet you can't spot it) but I've lost 2" around the middle and 3" off my hips and 1/2" off each inner knee. I'm taking in my trousers this week. The pubis-mons lipo-lift used the scar from a tummy tuck 20 years ago and its actually thinner than before so I expect it to fade away in the future and be almost invisible but I'm not the sort to flash my midriff in public anyway.
I would like a bit more removed around the bra area and back, I bulge still, but I do hope to get rid of the jowls and 2nd chin so will look into that at the same time towards the end of the year . I will look better in my mid 50's than I ever have !!

Eyes 1 week after surgery
Provider Review
I made contact via a web page asking for a free consultation. He said that this is normally done by SKYPE but if I was happy to drive to his office he would see me. He was proffessional, explaining in English, what was possible, what the outcome would look like, how much could be done at one surgery and why. What I could expect to feel and how much I could do once home. His credentals are displayed both on the website and in the office, his practitional acreditation with the Perugian authorities is shown and the offer of insurance was important. I will happily proceed with the next phase of work towards the end of the year.
