I had my neck and lower face done in Dallas, by Dr Ho on 5/13. I'm 12 days out and loving it. It was about as painful as going to the dentist, maybe less since I went to sleep during the procedure. The procedure took a little over 2 hrs. The incisions are in my ear and up the back crease of my ear. My scars are pink, but I'm using vitamin e oil and I think they'll go away. I can wear my hair up now. I just pull down a few wispys and you can't see the scars. I still have some brusing under my chin. I'm using the warn compresses and hope it's gone by this Thursday, since I have to go back to work. I will continue sleeping with my head elevated and wear the chin strap for the next 2 weeks per the clinic instructions. I'm happy with my results. And I almost backed out from reading the negative reviews from this site. But Consider this, LSL does about 40 to 50 lifts a week. each clinic. and there is quite a few clinics. You will always hear more about the bad than the good. Think about it. And not everyone blogs. I ask several other women in the office if they had read any LSL reviews and they said no. I felt very comfortable because I had met and also talked to some women who had the LSL and they were happy and said they'd do it again. I spoke with one woman who encouraged me not to have it done, but she also admitted to smoking. Maybe there were other things she didn't do. I saw a woman the morning of my procedure who was flipped out over the swelling and fluid build up. But she took her bandages off after the procedure because it was uncomfortable. She may have more scarring because of this. I don't know. Anyway whatever you decide. Do research on your Dr. ask questions and ask to speak with someone who has had the LSL. Then make a decision.

I'm scheduled for surgery w/ Dr Vu Ho. I've heard good things about him, but I also heard Dr Orten was great and Donna H is not happy with her results. I have heard the people who did not follow the Dr's orders have the bad results. I don't smoke and plan to keep ice packs on continously and keep my head up for 3 -5 days. I'm hoping I'll be one of the lucky ones with good results. I'll keep you guys informed.
