Wow it's been a month since I posted here. Downtime was a good two weeks. I hurt so much I could barely wash let alone use make-up. I would never have done this had I known. The results are "ok" so far. My neck looks fabulous. The rest, face and upper eyes ehhh...better yes but not "right". About the facility...it was very assembly line and not private. When I asked for a screen to be put up to remove my stitches I was rudely told no, that only personnel use that hallway, yet I had just come down that way. The person who removed my stitches was beyond rough! I was already in such incredible pain that it was just a nightmare. I had "awakened" during the lift procedure and after begging the Dr to stop and give me another Valium he continued for several minutes until he finally did stop and give me more medication. I had an opening of the wound around my right ear and bleeding. All the Dr did was put a steri-strip on it and told me to keep it dry. Luckily it's healing properly now. I have pain and soreness as well as numbness around both ears. I have to go back in to have my lower eyes done and am literally scared half to death but that is my worse feature, should have done it first I guess. The whole experience has been aweful and I would never recommend it to anyone. Money wasn't an issue...I should have done some homework on this. Please feel free to contact me if I can be of help or you need to talk post procedure. It's been a very lonely, painful and disappointing experience.

Hi all, I am 54 and just had the LL done this week. The facility in Ft Lauderdale is very clean and comfortable but I felt they were lacking in the "finer things". I really expected to be pampered and wasn't. I am having an extraordinary amount of pain even with the extra pain medication. Hopefully the results will make it all worth it.
