Hi ladies! Sorry it's been a while since I've posted; been really busy at work!
I'm just continuing to heal...the scars are looking better all the time. In fact, I have to wear my hair up at work and no one has noticed them at all; and trust me, they would say something if they did!
The nerves are apparently starting to grow back around the sides of my face and ears. I wouldn't say it's painful but I am very aware of it.
Biggest thing I can say is I get tired very easily now...sometimes I have to stop and remember that I did just have surgery and am still in the healing process. So, treat yourself kindly as you heal ladies...the end result will be so worth it!!!

Thank you so much!!!

You are just luminous! Wonderful! Thanks for continuing to post. I'm my experience, it always takes about 6 months after any surgery to truly feel like yourself. Take care and enjoy turning the clock back to 30!!
July 1, 2016
Thank you so much! Good to hear it takes a while to get back to feeling like yourself again. It has discouraged me on some days so it's great to hear about other's experiences. I am so happy that I did this!
July 1, 2016
Your results are spectacular! May I ask, what all did you have done? I love that Dr. Harley's results are so natural looking! Everyone looks like themselves just 15 years younger!
July 2, 2016
I had the Biltmore lift plus 2 syringes of filler around the upper corners of my mouth to help correct the permanent down turn of my smile.

How is it possible that you look even BETTER than when I saw you in Dr. Harley's office for your last visit!!! You really look fantastic as everyone is stating. Glad to hear you update us on what we can expect. It all helps and boy if we all can look like you uhhhhh I'll take being tired hahaha! Best to you with continued great healing! :)

I honestly cannot see how in the world you cannot see your difference as drastic as it is girlie! Do like me and get one of your before pics and mirror it with one of your after in just one pic. You'll most definitely see it. Your skin is absolutely flawless now. And radiant. It did wonders for my skin also. I do wonder how that happens. But I am no where near as radiant as you appear to be. In my opinion he took every bit of 20 years off of you!

Sorry I haven't posted anything this week. I actually went back to work this week and it kinda kicked my butt! But I do have a pretty demanding job that requires me to be on my feet at least 7 or 8 hours a day. But I survived it! Everything is still about the same with the healing process. I still don't have the feelings back in front of my ears yet, but I don't expect that for a while and it doesn't bother me. My smile on my right side has not returned yet, but I feel that it's getting a little better and I know that I have to be patient. It's only been a little over 3 weeks so I know I'm not where I'm going to end up one day. I have to tell you ladies that I have absolutely no regrets and would do it all again in a heartbeat! Dr Harley is a wonderful doctor and just know you are in the best hands I've seen for facial work. I have at least 2 or 3 friends that have had facial work done, and their results don't come close to what I've been blessed with. (Haven't told them that...not that kind of gal!). If I'm ever asked, I'm more than happy to share...I just don't put it out there! The only regret I have is not having this done sooner!!!!

You look beautiful at least 15 yrs younger, I am 3 months post op and still have hardness in front of my ears and under my chin and every day use organic coconut oil and every other day still iceing it will take some time for you to get all the feeling back in your face your results are amazing
June 13, 2016
Thank you so much for your kind words. Sometimes it's hard for me to see some of the improvements since I see myself all the time, so it's good to hear those positive things! I've been using Advanced Mederma on all my scars and I think it's helping...I guess time will tell...

Sorry I haven't posted any updates in the past few days...not a whole lot has changed. When I read the posts of everyone that says progress is generally measured more in weeks than days, I believe that now too. That's certainly not a bad thing because I feel my results are already awesome, but I can't wait to see where the coming weeks and months will take me. As far as my energy levels; they come and go. Some days I feel like I can do anything and everything: yesterday I tested the waters and went out and did some pretty strenuous yard work for about 2 hours. Mistake. It drained me so much (and it was in the morning) that I was exhausted and just generally didn't feel well for the rest of the day. Today, I feel sooo much better, but I learned a valuable lesson. Even though you start looking and feeling better, your body is still in recovery mode...and it will let you know that when it needs to! So ladies, treat yourself kindly! I'll post some pics from yesterday from both angles. Still dealing with a little bit of a black eye, and of course some swelling in the lower face. Still lovin it though!!!

Oh my word! I cannot believe you went out and did some yard work girl!!! You had to have been bone weary afterwards. One of the hardest parts of my recovery in the "early days" was fighting the urge to just DO something physical like working out or doing a marathon of bread baking (to be honest, yard work never crossed my mind). I felt like an unproductive slug the first 3-5 weeks or so. However, it's so important that you devote this time to pampering yourself as much as possible. Honey, there will be time for things such as yard work later on. You just invested thousands of dollars in yourself, so make sure and protect that investment by taking everything slowly. You're looking so beautiful and youthful...which is a hallmark evidenced by each of Harley's Honeys---and you have to feel great about your results, because you certainly look GORGEOUS, my friend!!! Welcome to the club Pawleygirl!!! Oh, and your skin looks amazing by the way!!! Now, stay out of the yard---don't MAKE me come over there girl!!!! :)
June 3, 2016
SouthernSister, your message absolutely made my day! Everything you said was completely on point with how I've been feeling! Yep, I was feeling like a slug and felt like I needed to do something; you are right on that! I learned the hard way...even though it was before 10am, I too am a "southern sister"...here in the hot, humid climate of SC...you can break a sweat just going outside by 8am. So you would think I had more sense than that since I've lived here all my life! Lesson learned!! I'm still kind of feeling it.
Thank you for letting me know it's ok not to feel 100% this soon...you made me feel like it's ok for sure!
I only hope my results end up being as good as yours....absolutely stunning!! So I'll try to follow your lead and be a patient girl!! Bless my heart!!! Hahaha!

I too, have learned to be gentle on myself. I am one of those independent (I can do it myself), kind of girl. But I really felt like I needed to slow down and let my body heal. Our spirit inside is always ready to go, but we have to remember this body that we've been given for this lifetime on Earth is bound to the laws of nature. We have to let it catch up with our spirits and heal properly. Go slow, my friends. There by the grace of God, go I.

Hi, just seen your lovely, successful neck lift story but am curious to know why you rated it "not sure" instead of "worth it"? Surely you are a happy bunny with that lovely result?
June 5, 2016
I am!!! I'm just too computer illiterate to know how to change it! Hahaha!!
