well, I am happy I did this. I do wish he took a bit more out as it seems to have settled a bit and thought I am not hooded, the skin is sagging. It may have to do with the fact that I have holes in my scars that fill up with makeup and I cannot resist purging since they are like deep blackheads. I had one "cyst" cut out & need to see if he is willing to do one of the other ones. he is very conservative which is a good thing. ALSO if I had to do again, i'd consider a brow lift although he thinks that is a bad idea. when I lift my brow, it looks better & I know my eye brows are below the brow line & I get shadowing from the sag.

It was 2 weeks ago today….

OMG this was so easy… No one notices anything 2 weeks later, except that I look great. Every once in a while, it looks bruised to me and I still have a small red patch under my left eye where I got filler, but no glasses, no sunglasses & I'm cleared for makeup ( which I barely use) and mascara. Wow- just in time for my BF's 50th!

You look great! I would say it took 10-15 years off of your face. Can't wait for my surgery on Thursday!!! Thanks for sharing your positive results :-)

TY!!! Just a couple of days away for you. Remember to breathe. & if you are only doing uppers & will be awake, & you are chicken like me, ask for an Ativan for before. Can't wait to see your results !

Beautiful! You look great!
April 1, 2014
you do too, but it is a tad hard to see your photos. Amazing what a difference!
April 1, 2014
Thank you. Is it hard to see my results? Maybe because I am trying not to share my whole face. I will be posting an update soon. I'll try to take a better picture of my results.

Congratulations, you look great and appear to be healing very nicely. Did your surgeon use a laser to make the incisions or a scalpel? Thanks and happy healing!
April 1, 2014
that is a very good questions. I'm not 100% but I think scapel.
Thanks for the compliment.!

Hey PP- you will do great!!! If you haven't already, start taking 1000mg of Vit c (buffered so no stomach distress). You could take this long term - and with you smoking, you need extra antioxidants. Arnica should be 30c. I spoke to the manufacturer before my surgery to verify which one. Also someone from beverly hills said they took something their doc suggested that was a combo of arnica & bromlien (though I just bought the bromelien separate & they used something instead of arnica gel, but I'm not sure.. Oh- and really- do rest & don't do to much. Especially bedding & with your pups. You may not realize it at the time, but later you may be sorry. I'll be thinking of you friday!

Haha. Yes, it was me who had the combo Arnica/Bromelain pill. I had very little bruising, but I still had lots and lots of swelling. But PreciousPug, Be prepared for Chipmunk cheeks! You will do great!

i was taking 1000mg of Vit c (buffered so no stomach distress) all winter and i stopped because the surgeon said he didn't mind a one a day with small doses of everything but didn't want me taking anything else! soo confusing. maybe i'll take a c today with the arnica - i think the other you refer to is bromelain with quercitin, i'm taking that too. i have arnica gel for later. hopefully the pups don't need too much next week. i'm going to let the mom nurse a little longer so i don't have to feed them yet.
April 1, 2014
thank you, hoping for the best.
too bad we all couldn't just sleep for 4 or 5 days til the worst is over, haha.

my unprofessional advice on the order to do treatments
tiredlookingMarch 26, 2014
ok, based on experience & information I'm learning as I go, I would
1) do laser/ultherapy & see how that works & where it gets you. Because the collagen can rebuild for some time, let that settle & re-assess.
2) do upper/lower bleph if still needed, maybe fillers at this time
3) then do fillers & botox.
I don't want to do the laser now because there can be some degradation of the filler & it seems like a waste. I'll most likely wait a year for teh laser since the fillers last ~ that long. Just something to keep in mind.
