Now I Look As Young As I Feel! - Novato, CA

Hi Marty, Dr. Delgado took the fat by liposuction from my tummy (an added bonus!) I had fillers (Sculptra and Radiesse)before my facelift and I liked them fine but since I was having surgery Dr. Delgado suggested the Fat Transfer and I love it, it does last longer but I would want to be sure your surgeon does a lot of it. I would tend to go with what your surgeon recommends or what he is most comfortable injecting. Hope that helps.

Misty, don't you just love the fat transfer? I love it all but the was the frosting on the cake!!

I did still have some swelling, and it can take months for all of it to resolve, but most of it was gone so that I didn't look bad and felt comfortable in public. As for the bruising, as it starts to fade it goes through all those yucky colors, yellow! I found that makeup would cover it really well and it seems most of it was on my neck (gravity!)So I could hide it with clothing or a scarf. I also was really good about using ice the first couple of days, and also took Arnica Montana. Thanks for your comments.

Hi Kelsey: I did have my forehead, upper and lower eyes done, and for a filler he did fat injections with my own fat (from my tummy)which is one of my favorite things. I just added a new picture that shows me 5 years later...I think I look even better!

Hi Misty:
Thanks for your comment, I recently traveled out of the country and on my return, the US immigration guy looked at my passport (noting my age)and looked at me and said Wow, you look great :)
The facelift, the gift that keeps on giving!!!
