43 with Hashimotos and Early Menopause Stealing my Looks!

Thyroid disease and early menopause triggered by breast implant illness has made me really bad at aging gracefully. It seems my looks took a dive rapidly. (Appreciate your collagen while you’ve got it, babes!) I’ve lost the definition in my jaw, gained an extra chin and some serious jowls. I started noticing it a few years ago but now it’s really bumming me out and making me feel like a grumpy old hag.
Dr. Harley’s work looks amazing. I love hearing all the stories from his pleased patients. I’m sensitive to anesthesia so I absolutely love that he has a way of avoiding it all together. That’s a huge plus to me.
As I understand he will remove whatever fat he must to make sure I get the result I need.
I’m including some very unflattering photos. I can’t wait to take the same angle shots and see the improvement. $7000 is a lot of money to me and I need for it to be money well spent.
I love Asheville! I paid my $1000 deposit today. Jawline, here I come.

They removed one of my comments and I never did find out what I said.

That’s so odd. I’m a little skeptical about their practices. Watch they will remove this LOL

I feel your pain I got Hashimotos at 42. I didn’t recognize myself in the mirror! I’m now soon to be 55. I have been wanting something done with my neck and face for a few years now. I just want to make sure I pick the right facial surgeon! I can’t wait to see your after results! Please keep us posted!

Hi Kelly! Take a look at the rest of my pictures. No more double chin! I’m 95% satisfied LOL I highly recommend Dr. Harley. We will heal a little bit differently than people without Hashimoto’s but I think you would be very happy with the results. My own mother says I look like I did When I was 25. I don’t know about that but I finally love my profile again and I feel more confident all around. Keep me posted on what you decide to do.

What Amazing results! You are stunning!

Ha! I don’t know about stunning but I’m so happy to be rid of that extra chin for now. They say you need it every 5-10 years... yikes. Thank you, Sharri :)

Posed photos vs. reality “You look even better in person!” Says nobody to me anymore LOL

Even with being aware of the camera angles it’s getting to the point where I can only hide so much! I’m beginning to see a change in my neck as well. I’m not sure how much of it has to do with my thyroid but I’m looking forward to having my neck smoothed out. I keep looking at before and after pictures hoping and praying I have a result as amazing as many of the ones I’ve seen. I’m wondering if Dr. Harley does any form of lipo to remove fat. I’m also curious about buccal fat. If anybody has information on those please comment. Thank you!

I can’t say how satisfied I am just yet although I love my profile already. One thing I must say is that this is no minor surgery. Don’t be fooled by some reviews where patients seem to be suffering amnesia lol. I am 1 week and 2 days out and still have major wounds, bruising and a lot of healing ahead.
