Chin Implant Brow Lift, Lower Eyelid Bleph, Mid Face / Neck Lift, and Neck Lipo - 15 Days Post Surgery.

I am glad you are putting a lot of thought into your decision. You can always have something done "in the future" if you so choose, but once something is done you really can't "undo" it. I hope the best for you.

Yes,I did believe I chose the right doctore beforehand and I still feel confident that he is as good as there is. I do not feel that he did a bad job; In fact, he probably did a superb job. I just feel that you are going to have some negative results from any plastic surgery, done by any surgeon, no matter how good they are. Even though you may have some positive improvement, you may focus on the negative aspects and find that the good really doesn't outweigh the bad...I know that's how it's been with me. I haven't seen a photo of you, so when you say your eyes "aren't bad" and that you would be doing this to be "refreshed", I can only use my own experience to put this in perspective for you as best I can. I personally know that for myself that would not be reason enough to have the surgery, knowing now what I didn't know before. Yes, the shape of my eyes has changed. Part of that is due to the brow lift, but the shape along the bottom of the eyes has changed too, and that is only due to the lower bleph. If you think you look "decent" and "average", I just wouldn't go through it. If you said you looked "really bad", etc..I would recommed carefully considering before proceeding.

I am at 3 1/2 weeks post op. I know absolutely for certain that I wouldn't have some of my procedures done if I could go back in time. I am thankful that I don't have real complications like some people do. Like you, I am learning to "deal with" some of the issues, but this whole thing is more risky, emotional, and takes much longer to heal than surgeons would lead us to believe.

Fav123, Personally, I wouldn't recommend having it done just to "refresh" your look. I had 5 procedures done at once (3 1/2 weeks ago)...I am 52 years old. Lower bleph was one of the procedures. I'm doing ok, but not thrilled. I don't think it's worth the risk unless you have "real issues" and it doesn't sound to me like you do, as you said it would be just to "refresh" you. There are apparently more risks and complications than patients are led to believe; and also there are definitely emotional issues following plastic surgeries...I speak from experience, because I am my husband are going through some right now.
