Facelift: Stories

I am 68 and recently lost 79lbs which in turn gave me a turkey neck[UGLY one] So after MUCH debate I decided to get it tightened up as it looked like it belonged to a 100yr ol
13 days ago I had a neck and part face lift So far of today I am thrilled I intend to buy a pretty necklace to compliment my neck

I have all of the stitches out.. feel good today I went shopping.. Now that I am home I have to put the chin strap back on....Going to post yesterday and todays photo now...

So much more bruising is gone today.. THANK GOD after washing my hair tonight a lot of the scabbing came out of my head , that was soo annoying.... I have some swelling in my lower face the rest looks pretty good.. I am still using ice but not sure if it can help anymore... I got permission today to be able sit outside as long as I use sunscreen 45 or higher.. I might actually go in the pool tomorrow thinking the sun might help heal some of the scabbing and brusing..Any thoughts on that subject?????

I am going to my grandaughters 17th birthday party sat my first entrance.. Cant wait to hear what everyone says... I decided to wait until monday to go back to work so maybe it will look better.. I am not a makeup person so I have no clue how to cover up the bruises on my neck.... Hope everyone is doing well tonight

I went for my 7 week follow up today YIPPEE I DO NOT have to wear the chin strap anymore.. WHEW I have slept in it every night for the last 4 weeks and the 3 weeks prior wore it all day and night..
I asked if the wrinkles under my chin would go away and he said immeidiately that it would , He said it is still hard[whatever that means I forgot to ask] He said start massaging it and when I come back in 3 months for after photos I will be very happy..

To be honest I am MORE than happy now, all I wanted was for 75 percent of my horrible neck to be gone and I have been blessed with a new younger face and a much younger neck.. I like myself so much more than I did.. I didnt get my eyes done becuase first I didnt have the money and second I dont need to look like a 30 yr old I am almost 70.., so I am ok with what I was able t have done

I have gotten sooo many compliments the last 3 weeks it is unreal.., I bought a new large jewelry armoire this week as I have been buying some necklaces this month [lol] I didnt wear them before as I hated people looking at my turkey neck.. Now I want them to look at my neck.. tee Hee

I love my doctor and his staff, they are so kind , and caring... I will post a new photo soon.. Have a good week everyone.

Went back for 6 month check up and was not totally happy as one spot under my chin is dropping and has been for the last 2 months... I have worn my chin strap for months... So I felt soo bad, The doctor took one look and said for some reason the skin didnt shrink there.. He then said NO PROBLEM we will fix it right here in the office .. He said he will numb it , cut in the same spot under my chin clip it off and stitch it up.. I a few days it will be fine and should barely bruise.. So in about 3 weeks [maybe two\ on a friday I will be fixed.. I hope. I have total confidence in him... I told him the day he did it to expect something to go wrong, with me it usually does..... I am going to try to post a new picture just showing what I see when I look in the mirror

Ok had the neck repair three weeks ago this. Fri. Still healing but it looks much better so far. Slept in chin strap for two weeks. Stitches are in the inside now. Still tender but no bruises there was no pain at all. It took about 45min. Will post pics in few days. It will never be perfect had tool much skin there but I think if it stays just the way it is I will be happy

Still waiting for my neck to totally tighten up. I am probably too critical I know I had such a Horrible neck. And I didnt do my eyes. My family didnt want me to. Don't get me wrong. I look sooo different and everywhere I go people tell me I look soo different. I will wait until the one yr mark for my final decision. It is none months and s seeing changes. I thought people were kidding but it does take that long. Does anyone know why. I will pat a new photo this week
