Finally Made the Decision to Join the "Harley Honeys"! - Asheville, NC

First of all, I have to say how very much I appreciate all of the reviews and pictures here on RealSelf from all of the lovely ladies that have shared their experiences. I have been surfing this site for about 2 years now, and have learned so much about what to expect. I am 55 years old, and the realization that gravity was winning became very apparent when I saw a picture of myself taken on vacation last year. I was actually surprised to see how I looked; a cross between very tired and angry. I guess that's why everyone was always asking me if I was ok. That's when I knew it was time to start seriously looking into trying to make me look on the outside match more with how I feel on the inside. Seeing all of the wonderful reviews of Dr. Harley, I finally got the courage to call and schedule a consultation. It took about 5 weeks to get my appointment. I live about 2 hours away from his office; the appointment date was March 23, 2016, so I had that time during my drive to think about "what am I doing?". When I got to meet Dr. Harley, he immediately put my mind at ease. He made recommendations on what I needed as well as what I don't need yet, so I knew that he had my best interest at heart and not the money. So, I went ahead and scheduled my surgery. It will be on May 18, 2016 at 6:15 a.m. (BTW, Juanita is as sweet as all of you ladies have said)! As the date is getting closer, my nerves are starting to kick in. I'm a little scared; but at the same time, I am so ready for this. I'm tired of hiding from the cameras and want to feel like myself again. I'm going to get a neck lift and filler in the corners of my mouth because of the turn down that makes me look like I'm frowning all the time. I'm going to try to download some pics to show what I'm talking about (never done it before!). Thanks again for all of the honesty and encouragement from all of the "Harley Honeys"! I'll keep you posted on my journey....

Ok ladies...I'm really starting to get nervous now. I spent much of the weekend getting the things I'm supposed to have. I'll be heading to Asheville in the morning to get settled in for Wednesday morning. I hope I'm doing the right thing! Here's another before pic taken this morning..

Finally got here, went and picked up my prescription from Juanita and had it filled today instead of worrying about it tomorrow; checked into my hotel, now out for an early dinner. I am sooo nervous but also very excited! Can't wait till 6am tomorrow....let's get this show on the road! See you ladies on the other side! Will update as soon as I can!!
