WORTH IT$9,000
59 y.o. Even though I'm noticing some aging, still looks better than pre-lift. I also take a ton of supplements, avoid the sun (obviously), and eat a solid diet with a lot of fresh vegetables. Have recently begun a new topical skincare regimen to deal with my large pores. I'll probably check back with Dr. Harley in the next few years for some tweaking, but five years in, I can definitely say it's worth it.

If you're planning on weight loss, WAIT until after you lose the weight to get your neck lifted.
It has been nearly a year since my Biltmore lift with Dr. Harley, and since that time, I lost 28 pounds. I love the fact that I'm finally at my ideal weight. However, the skin on my neck has loosened as a result. It still looks better than it did before the lift; however, if I had to do it all over again (and will eventually, no doubt), I would have waited on having the lift until after I had lost the weight. So, word to the wise.....if you think you might go on a weight loss program, wait until you're done to do your lift.

Congratulations on the weight loss! Also, thanks again for sharing the wisdom you have gleaned from your journey...it is truly appreciated by me and I am sure many others.
Thank you; happy to share. :)
YEP! I had to have a facelift because of weight loss. I lost 20 lbs when going through my separation last year at 43 years old and felt like I aged 10 years overnight. I am hoping to put some of that back on and glad I was at a lowerror weight when I had my FL.
I am 12 pounds over my normal weight. I am determined to lose it.Do you think 10 pounds will make that much difference?
I wouldn't think so, but I'm not familiar with your physiology, age, skin, etc. I have thin, stretchy Celtic skin, plus I'm 55...so my skin doesn't have the "snap back" it once did. Check with whomever is going to do your lift to get their professional opinion. Best of luck!
10# makes a big difference on me! I am down 9 and can fit in my clothes again!
That is exactly what im doing. I'm on a strict food regimen! I was 133 last June and was up to 156 in Aug! I want to be below 130 when I have this done in December! 16# to go to 130! Great advice!
Best of luck with it! I'm so glad to finally be at my goal weight. :)

Three weeks Post Op!
My face is starting to wake up. Still have a lot of numbness in front of my ears and under my jawline, but it seems to be getting a bit better. And I'm really ok with it if it doesn't come back all the way. I kind of figured that might be a risk before I even went through with the procedure. The one thing that is disconcerting sometimes is that my eyelash/lids area is numb. Makes it interesting when I apply mascara lol. Anyway, I'm feeling pretty good. Back to the gym (walking), and here's an updated picture (with makeup). :)

Sorry for the sideways picture. I've tried to fix it...lol...
And now it's fixed. Boy, me and computers on a Monday morning...
You look wonderful and about 20 years younger in this photo - has anyone said anything? Sorry if this has been said already (it's early morning here and am blurry-eyed) but do you live in Asheville or did you travel there, and if the latter, how long - and where - did you stay? Dr. Harley's patients always have such great results, I'm really thinking of going there myself, even though it's quite a ways for me. Thanks for your review, and congrats on how lovely you look!
Thank you! No one has said anything really. My firm Christmas party takes place on December 18th, where all the branch offices get together. It will be interesting to see if anyone else notices. I do have a classmate who normally picks up on these things, but she hasn't said anything. Maybe because she hasn't seen me in person for awhile. But, really, I'm kind of glad the change isn't "blaring out," so to speak. I wanted subtle, and that's what I got. I live in Central Virginia, and it's a 5-hour trip to Asheville one way. Well worth it though. My husband and I came down the night before the surgery, had surgery on 11/13/15, and stayed in town until 11/15/15, and then returned home. If you ever decide to do it, Dr. Harley is the man! You'll be in good hands. :)
You look beautiful Sharen...I knew you would! Thank you for sharing your fabulous picture!
Thank you! That is a really good wicked picture lol. Took me several tries to get a good angle, lighting, etc. Even with my new face, I don't like myself in pictures much. I know a lot of folks like that. I don't consider myself to be photogenic (I've got a daughter who is crazy beautiful in ALL her pictures), but at least I don't hate this picture lol. Seriously, I'm grateful.
I have a really good suggestion for you! I had the same thing especially in front of my ears... I have this stamper thing that I got from Beauty Park Spa in California that I LOVE that you poke your face with for collagen development. I took it out of the drawer where it had been living since my procedure and started stamping the numb areas. It felt really good and only took a few days for the sensation to come back! It does come with an amazing serum, but I have found that it works well with any good serum - Here's the link and you do look awesome! http://nursejamie.com/egf-age-delay-system#.VmXpAoTosso
Thank you for sharing this information!
You look gorgeous - like yourself only MUCH younger. Congrats!
Thank you!
