Almost Three Years...
happy54January 29, 2018
Many of your have written and requested photos to see how the aging process has gone post the lift. Here are some photos taken almost three years later. In terms of upkeep, I continue to use fillers and botox as needed - maybe once or twice a year - and keep very good care of my skin. I continue to be very pleased with the results and am enjoying being in my late fifties.

Thank you for updating @ 2 years no less! You look incrediblel! Can I ask what type of fillers you use & where you have them placed & where botox is placed? Thank you!!

Hey CannLynn! I saw in notes below from Dec 2017 that Happy54 said “I am maintaining certain areas around my mouth and chin with filler and lifting my brows with botox.” will be interesting to know if this has changed.

Thanks mosunshine! I was being lazy and just skimmed. I'd love to know how to create just enough filler to keep one's face slim but get rid of the lines

Oh, yes! I get it! You look wonderful, CanLynn! I hope you find a top notch dermatologist with that perfect skill, that you can trust implicitly to guide you.

I use juvederm and restylane - primarily in the lines from nose to mouth and in the areas from the edges of my lip down to the chin. I’ve done the marionette lines for years and years and I actually think I’ve built up so much collagen that I hardly have to have it done any longer so I mainly spend money on mouth/chin area. I use botox on my chin to keep it from wrinkling and also above the eyes to provide a lift in that area.

Happy54! I am so grateful for your entire review as it was one of the turning points for me to choose to have my procedure done with Dr. Harley. I am 4.5 weeks out and very, very happy. Your experience, internal and external, mirrors mine so perfectly and I’m not sure I could word it as well as you have. The only exception for me was that I was not eager to leave the comfort of my hotel room for the week after the procedure...my energy level and comfort level being seen did not resurface until about day 5. I’m curious to know if you had any change in the expressiveness around your mouth. I am confident this is nerves resolving, but my smile (showing teeth) isn’t as natural and expressive as before. My lower lip isn’t fully cooperating yet. This is expected to fully resolve. Dr. Harley is not concerned and my smile sans teeth is fine. Just curious what your experience was. Thank you, once again, for sharing, especially close to three years out. Your results are so beautiful. I’m very happy for you...for us!

I’m so glad you got it done...again, no regrets on my part and I’m really enjoying how I look these days. Not young exactly but good for my age. Yes, I think my smile is a little bit different. It’s not terribly noticeable but I see a small change from before. Perhaps a little less tooth shows when I smile. Of course, it’s hard to say because we age too and our faces change with time. I’m not unhappy with it...just not as full a smile as I had before I think.

Thank you so much for sharing this. It’s very much how I feel now, a little different, showing a little less tooth. I would happily trade that slight change for all the good I’ve gained in my neck and jawline. I really do appreciate your perspective and generosity in sharing your experience.

P.S. Did you have any peels or just the lift?
November 17, 2015
Thank you for your review. I am scheduled for an overhaul with the doc in March. You mentioned that you booked an apartment, I am thinking that this may be a better choice for me. May I ask where?
