Lower Facelift W/Neck Tightening - Asheville, NC

UPDATED FROM Katielou

9 Months Post-Op Update

WORTH IT$6,200
It has been almost 9 months since my lower facelift with Dr. Harley in Asheville, NC. I am very happy with the results - my main problems was my jawline/jowling. I am still using Mederma on the scar underneath my chin and underneath one of my earlobes - other scars are now invisible. I still have numbness in the area in front of my ears, but this is slowly resolving - I understand that this varies from person to person. I still have not had anyone ask me if I had "work" done but have had comments such as "you've lost weight", "what's your secret", etc. Believe me - I'll take those comments any day. I seldom post anything these days, but still read with interest all your posts and to the "newbies" who are embarking on this journey, I hope you have wonderful results.

How has your lift "held up" since your surgery? I keep reading that the mini lift does not last.
Can you give an update? I'm interested in long term results. Thank you!
Can I ask about salt? Does it still cause your face to swell noticeably? I have an appointment with Dr Harley in April and I want to be realistic and prepared. Thanks so much for sharing,

Addendum to Earlier Post

One thing I forgot to mention, even after six months, if I eat a lot of salty foods, my face reflects it. It doesn't look nearly as good as it puffs up and feels "tight" again. It's funny - salt has never caused me problems in the past, but since having my lift, my face seems to be able to detect every grain that I consume!

Been Six Months Since Lift

Well, it has been just past six months since I had a lower lift/neck tightening with Dr. David Harley. I am very pleased with my results. I still have some numbness in my cheeks, close to the ears, which I have read can take up to a year to fully go away. I have also had a little problem with one of the scars at my ear lobe - had it injected twice with steroids to help soften it. It is looking much better and I am massaging it with bio-oil, so, hopefully it'll soon go away. My other scars have healed beautifully and are invisible now. All in all, I'm very pleased with my results and would do it all again in an instant. Best of luck to others that are about to embark upon this self-improvement journey
