51 years old, hormonal changes gave me a turkey neck and jowls. Chose Dr Harley to turn the clock back.

I had the procedure 3 weeks ago today. Things are progressing nicely but the neck swelling goes up and down, some days there are tiny pockets of swelling and other days not so much. I’ve started doing self lymphatic drainage massage on the face and neck and that seems to be speeding things up as far as swelling. My scars are almost invisible now. I went back to work yesterday and people said stuff like, you look like you got some sun, your hair looks good, your new glasses look great on you. Love it! The few people I’ve told about this are amazed and said I look great and not like I’ve had anything done and one of those is a man. That is exactly what I wanted. Here are a few before and afters.

I had somebody locally screenshot pictures of me from this website and send to someone that I knew, asking if I had a facelift. so I just deleted all of my pictures so I wouldn’t have to answer everyone whether or not I’d had work done. . Everything. Is progressing beautifully and naturally.

Saw Dr Harley and Kelly this morning to have my stitches out. I’ve been feeling like my normal self since I got home about 400pm (very active) I rarely sit down, always on the go, so I have to keep reminding myself to take it easy. I still have some bruising on my neck so he has advised me to use warm compresses going forward. He and Kelly answered all of my questions today, Why did I not have a drain? Because I had lipo on neck, he doesn’t usually do that if he does lipo, Why is my swelling not going down very fast? Because I am impatient and just had skin, tissues and muscles moved around and that will get better over the weeks to come ( he did not tell me I’m impatient, I’m just aware that I have that annoying trait). Why did I have a single stitch under each ear? Because he made tiny incisions on each side for the liposuction cannula.. Kelly said since I’m a week out I cold try some Advil as it may help swelling. Do not use Advil until they tell you it is okay, it can cause more bleeding. I don’t think incisions look bad for just 1 week post up. I have had stitches on various parts of my body and they are not detectable at all. Even the 2 fingers I nearly sliced clean off, no scars. I can’t say enough about Dr Harley and his team, he is genuinely one of the nicest Doctors I have ever met and I’ve been a pharmaceutical rep for over 15 years, I know a lot of Doctors! I will visit them in a few months for the after pictures and I will be back for my eyes when that day comes in 5 or 10 years but right now I am very happy! My son has been against this for a while and when I walked in today he said, “ wow Mom, you look like yourself but the younger version”. Best money I ever spent!
