The no neck look was creeping up. An older sibling had little neck.
A god-send to have this done.
Friends only notice that I've lost weight, which I haven't, actually. Working on that:)
But they think I look great Yea! Worth every penny, and the time spent healing. A friend said that she knew someone who went back to work in a week. That would be pushing it. I had the time to heal longer, and was glad. Supportive family and a few select friends helped.
All went smoothly except excessive swelling on a cheek. If the literature and all had warned me, I'd have been every more careful not to lean over far. I would have gone in to have that taken care of while they could, possibly. Healing was slower. But it's almost all gone now, as they reassured it would. Thank goodness for makeup. Yay! This is such an improvement on my appearance, especially from the side views.
Almost 3 months later, no swelling, stitches...

My rating:
Oh, and no need for sweet sugar cookies in the waiting room. Tempting? Celery and carrot sticks with zero cal. dip? I was not at all hungry anyway... so no big deal. Easy, all in all. Just be patient. The end result is just shockingly good. I recommend this highly. Dr Robledo did a great job! Thanks!
Thank you for sharing your experience. Three months seems to be about the point where people start to feel "right" about their results -- most of the swelling is gone, etc. Glad to hear you're happy with your surgery. Any plans to post pics?
