Hello!
Hi it's me kidney! Sorry it's been a long long time since the last time I've been here I felt like just like everyone else I went to this kind of trance where I'm fully awake and just watching the world paused for the whole year. Life went from crazy to crazier and oh yes I had my fair share of fears , worries and panic buying where never in my wildest dream I would pay 20 dollars for a small bottle of Lysol spray and clawed my way to Costco for a toilet paper! But I am glad things is a little better now although it's never gonna be the same anymore but I know this whole thing taught us one thing we are strong.
My update/post probably irrelevant and insignificant to some but for those who is now slowly starting to pick up the phase where their plan was held for awhile due to the fact of uncertainty this is for you all. For those who are planning to visit Asheville not for tourism purposes but to see Dr. Harley and curious what BL and BL 2.0 looks like after 4 years / 2 years for the later this update is for you.
Like I said before and I will say it again. Going to Dr. Harley is one of the best decision I had ever made for myself and I know I'll be back there again one day. I am planning to get my eyes done and maybe redo the whole thing as I know he will make me look good passed my retirement days.

You look beautiful! And your neck looks lovely and long. Thank you for posting once your surgery. After much research, I'm scheduled with Dr. H, and had recently come across some nasty remarks that made me pause. Your review put me at ease. Thank you for sharing.

Dr. H is awesome! Last time I talked to him regarding my plan of getting my eyes done and he told me frankly that I don't need it yet and I have to wait couple of years. Now if that's some other dr they probably have put me on schedule to a procedure I don't need. Good luck I know you won't regret it. I am very happy with my results and those comments are from those who's expectations are way up high. Some I can say have legit concerns that I can understand but I know some people here are looking for miracles instead of enhancement surgery.

He did a wonderful job for me. I'm our week out, and easily look 15 Yrd younger, right now. Dr. H said I ont look my best for another 6-8 mos, once everything settles. He's a wonderfully gifted surgeon, and a very kind and caring individual. I'm so blessed to have found him!

Time flies...warm summer days are over and here's what my neck looks like after 5 months. So far everything still looking good although it feels a little bit more looser but I still love the result. Dr. Harley really did an amazing job and looking back at what my neck looks like before I still cant believe how bad it was. I will be forever grateful. Such a wonderful doctor but most of all such an amazing person.

Latest update of my beauty scars. Some part of the back ears still a bit numb and the tiny lump still there but not as big as it used go be. Back ears esp the right side feels itchy at times and develop some flaking but I keep on applying some hydrocortisone on it and it seems help with the redness and itchiness. Neck feels bit loosen but still loving the result. A lot of friends and family says I look like I shed off more lbs and look very lean. For sure its not by diet but by the work of Dr. Harley hahhaha

Wow, you have incredible skin Kidney! You heal so quickly. Dr. Harley did do an amazing job and I love that he is not only one of the best in his field, he modifies his techniques based on different issues and desires. You must be thrilled - phenomenal success!
June 26, 2019
Thank you canlynn! Yea I am so happy with the result huge difference. I've been showing my before and after pics to some close friends and they couldnt believe that my old neck was that bad. Healing wasnt bad at all I was pretty much back to everything I was doing after 3 weeks like nothing happened. I agree Dr Harley is really an awesome dr and I am really glad he help me out. I have nothing but good words for him.

Awesome! Keep sunscreen on those so they don’t discolor as they are healing from sun.
June 26, 2019
Thank you Frred! Yea I am starting to put hydroquinone on them and really dont expose them to sun. Hopefully they will look like my side scar barely noticeable.

Thanks for the detailed update girl my neck Looks pretty bad to had neck Lipo in 2016 & it left My skin loose & Saggy I have my eye on dr Hartley as well just trying to decide if I want one more baby (another story) 1st because I will wait until after, my only concern is I herd that things loosen up over time , do u feel like that happened with your neck , I know I did with I had tummy tuck also 2016 when I did neck Lipo when all the swelling went down I felt like I still had a little skin, anyway hope your enjoying your results

I am so sorry for this very very late reply. I think every surgery loosen up as time goes by its how gravity works but it wasn't that bad. My neck still much much better compared to the previous one or my jowls . It's been almost 4 years and from what I paid think its all worth it.
