55 Year Old That Feels 45. Tired of Feeling Young and Seeing an Old Woman Looking Back at Me

It's been a little over 3 weeks since my surgery and everything is healing nicely. Still a little numb around the incision sites which is to be expected. Everyone at work said I looked rested which is a nice compliment. The pics of the incisions are right after he removed the stitches. I'll post up to date pics when I get a chance to take some.

Thanks for the update. You look gorgeous. I love the sharp but natural jawline. You must be be very pleased. Your co-workers comments were the perfect reaction and what I hope to get - like yourself only more rested (and younger too!) Dr. Harley's followers may have some trouble finding you since Real Self has taken away control over the feeds. I suspect that's why you don't have a more comments. Anyway, you look fabulous. Hopefully you've regained your energy and are feeling wonderful too. All the best!
They've taken away control?? What do you mean? Haven't been on here for a while. Went to Harley too. He is awesome. Wish they would post reviews w pics first!!!!!
You look fabulous and your incisions are healing nicely. So happy for you!!!

Stitches are coming out!

It's 9 days post op and I'm on my way to get my stitches out. I was suppose to have them out after one week but couldn't make it up to Asheville till today. Just wanted to update with some pics. I'll update again after the stitches are out.

You look beautiful! The swelling in your face has really gone down but your jaw and neck still look so smooth . . . can't wait until it's my turn. :)
P.S. Great sunglasses!
Thanks. I'm still swollen especially below my temple area and slightly numb still. All this is to be expected. Recovery hasn't been hard at all. So excited for you. When are you having yours?
In the spring. I'm nervous but excited. I've skulked around on this site long enough - gotta make the move.

How are the scars? Do you think you will be comfortable wearing your hair up/in a ponytail?

Hope the stitch removal went well!
stitch removal was good. haven't really looked at my scars yet as she put tape over them after the removal. yes, I think over time, I will be fine with a ponytail. go ahead and make that move...you will be so happy after its done. good luck
Awww... you are so pretty! Stitch removal is awesome, Kelly does a great job. Safe travels, looking forward to more updates.
Thanks Lynn. You look great!
Beautiful!
Thanks so much. The procedure and recovery were a lot easier than I anticipated!
You look FABULOUS!!
You look great! And the smile~ incredible. Any dental work to get that look?

4 days post op

I'm 4 days post op. Washed my hair today, put in a little mascara. I'm starting to feel more like myself. I get really tired and sleep a lot. My face and left ear is still numb and swollen but that is to be expected. My lower face me neck feel really tight which come fro the swellling. I love my neck. No more turkey gobbler. I'm so happy with my procedure. Dr. Harley is a nice man and is excellent with what he does. So glad I found him. Thanks Dr. Harley!

This site needs spell check. Im sure you guys know what I mean.
You look really beautiful and natural thanks so much for sharing! He is a wonderful person and doctor. I am two months out from my upper bleph and I am thrilled. I will be back for a lower face lift within a year. Happy healing, if you are swollen, we can't tell it looks great!
Thanks so much.
My surgery is scheduled for mid March. I am really getting anxious. Did you look in the mirror 10 times a day and pinch you skin by your ears? What do you wear to surgery? Do you change to hospital gown during surgery? Can't wait! I hope my results are as good as yours!
hi kentuck, I know exactly how you feel. yes, I was constantly pulling at my loose skin to see what it would look like. no, you don't change into anything . wear something that zips so you don't have to pull it over your head. I wore comfortable workout clothes. I was worried about feeling something during the surgery, and trust me, you don't. that cocktail of valium works great. it will be a lot easier than you anticipate, or at least it was for me. hopefully, it will be the same for you. I would have days I was very excited and then days that I questioned myself. I had been thinking of doing a necklift for about 4 years so I knew it was time. don't let the doubtful days change your mind if this is something you know in your heart you want to do. Dr. Harley is a kind man and a great facial plastic surgeon. If I ever want anything else done, which I would like to have a brow lift, I will definitely go to him. try not to worry...it's easier said than done. I know because I worried too, but hopefully all of us that's on the other side, will help lessen your fears. have a great day. let me know if I can help you in any other way.
You are a natural beauty (those eyes) and look amazing. Love your new jaw line and refined neck! I am still numb and swollen, here and there, too. I'll take it, though, way worth the return. :)
Thank you. You look great too. Hope all is well
Thank you!
Thank you!
Wow! U look great! Only day 4. It only gets better. I am one month post-op and loving my "new" face. Dr Harley's skills are remarkable. Wishing u continued easy healing.
Thanks so much. Stitches come out next week.
Hi country. I can't see your pics. Did you remove them
Yes. Privacy concerns
I understand
