JustS..... I'm envious of you and love that your pS wants yOU to be satisfied. When you say "complete facial rejuvenation," what do you mean--a complete facelift? When are you going back in "for more?" ;-) Do you know if the incisions will be in the same place as they were done on March 7th? My PS told me last week that if the same incision places were used, they tend to come apart. Maybe he just doesn't want to do it. * Margie, my PS mentioned that only tightening the skin was like having a LifeStyle Lift--that it wouldn't hold. Surely though there are satisfied LifeStyle Lifters?????
Marjay., You are 6 months out and your skin is still too sore to kinda pull your skin back? Wow! Seems like you shouldn't be that sore by now, but everyone's different. I feel like you-I want to be happy and be satisfied with the results. We DO go thru a lot for all this! FIXMYFACE, you asked me when I see my PS next. I just went last week. It was suppose to be my 3 month check-up and actually I am 7 months out,,,just didn't have the time to go back at 3 months and I've had no real problems. Anyway, PS didn't like my idea of pulling back the skin---said the skin would be droopy again in 2-3 months. He suggested filler injections. But they are only good for 12-18 months and are costly. I'm not going to do that. I have no intention of continuing this process forever. I plan on asking him if he would just do it for me and then I won't bug him any more. I am sure he would do it in his office. Actually, I opted for that for my first real ( 6 hr.) surgery. He gave me a "cocktail" he calls it of several different pills to put me out,(Xanax,phenergan, and a couple of others) but not unconscious. I liked that a lot!! I could still half-way respond to his commands, but never felt any pain at all. So right now, I'm trying to think of how to go about asking him about all this. I only have a 2-3 week window in May when I could have this done, recovery-wise. But when I left his office last week, I was very discouraged because I went in with these plans all made for myself and walked out with them being erased. ;-( I know I have to have a "heart to heart" with him, just not sure how and when.
FixMyFACE, I had a neck lift and a lower face lift. My neck is great and at first, my lower face was good and youthful-looking. I had someone tell me that my skin looked so smooth, etc. (and I do not have great skin). So I'm feeling like the skin has "dropped" back down around the sides of my mouth. When I pull them back, it looks so good and tight. I am hoping he (PS) will tighten that as an outpatient in his office--just deaden it and pull it. I know he doesn't think it will last unless the muscles are involved, which he did do the first time.So I'm hoping to talk him into doing it and then I'll be done==no more.
FixmyFace, Did you have anything else fixed during your year after surgery? I want my skin tightened a little more but my PS says that if just the skin's tightened (like it is with a LifeStyle Lift), it'll be lose again in 2-3 months. Any thoughts on that out there? I was discouraged when I left his office. I still want him to do it though.I have no regrets at all doing the original surgery 7 months ago now. I just want to be pretty much fully satisfied.
