Wasn't sure I even wanted to review my upcoming procedure until I realized today that I wouldn't be having it done if it were not for the courageous women who willingly posted their own stories (pictures and all) to share their experiences and most importantly the outcome. Yes, those pictures are worth a thousand words, so let me throw away my ego and share for those who come after me. A picture when I was younger (30), a few current mug shots (61). Who is the quack pot who even started this selfie craze. I am and never have been photogenic, so this is kinda painful, lol. I will be having a Biltmore Lift and the upper and lower eyes done. So wish me luck or better yet (all you brave and beautiful Harley Honeys) send all your good energy to Dr. Harley on June 2nd!!

Glad you got bold and decided to pay it forward! I love hearing the stories of women who have chosen Dr. Harley. I will be in the same chair - 7 days after you. I will be looking forward to reading about your experience - I'm having the same beautifications you are! ;) Best wishes and prayers for a successful surgery and outcome!

Thank You for sharing you before and hopefully your after photos. You are beautiful either way and wishing luck on your future surgery. I wish I could do mine soon but with small children it's kind of hard.

Good vibes coming your way. Do keep us posted.

Please keep us posted! I am intently starting to look at surgeons and since he is on the opposite side of the US, these reviews are worth their weight in gold. Thank you.

Thank everyone so much for your uplifting comments and encouragement. What would we do without the support of our "sisters?!" Soooo, yes, I am as nervous as a sore tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs! But in a good way! Not fearful at all because of the ladies who have taken the time to post their experiences. I know I am in good hands with Dr. Harley and Kelly. Tomorrow will be the new me and hopefully some photos. My older sister is coming up from Savannah to be my driver and caretaker for a few days. I think I have just polished off a bottle of Rescue Remedy, lol.

I don't know what happens & I really don't think it's fair that after raising children we go thru menopause & faces slide off. LOL You are in good hands for sure. I have been reviews & private messaging others off & on about Dr. Harley for months. I just have to find the time! I am so glad you did!! You are already beautiful, getting a little touch up, heck, we deserve it!! I'm glad your sister is going to be with you...my younger one is like, you don't need it, let's just make a deal to grow old together...as if! Best wishes & soft landings tomorrow!! Thanks so much for posting your journey!! ~HUGS~

Hope you're sleeping well already and that everything will go perfect tomorrow! I'll be checking in on you tomorrow to see if you have felt like posting post-op pics. You're positive outlook and great sense of humor are your best buddies - not to mention your sister playing the role of caretaker!

Day 1 post surgery

Woke up, really alert. The experience was awesome and not uncomfortable at all. My only memory was Dr. Harley putting in some filler at the corners of my mouth. Just a minor stinging sensation. My sis just ran out to get me a milkshake. Eyes are oozing a bit, quite normal. I can't say too many good things about Dr. Harley! He is quite personable and compassionate. I like his low key sense of humor. Here's the gruesome photo, scared me like all get out when I caught the first glimpse, but I know the best is yet to come. Again, no pain, just tightness. I am taking "everything" prescribed right on time.
