71 Years and Counting -- This Neck is Not Going to Get Any Better - I Want a Change! Asheville, NC
UPDATED FROM rednaxelaennyl
One year later!
WORTH IT$10,100
I just read a review and for some reason When I clicked on update nothing happened. So I'll try again. I am still happy and satisfied with my results. Yes I wish I were 45, but at 72, I cannot complain! My jaw line has softened, which I prefer. And the marionette lines on my chin have not come back.

Hey Red! Great post and beautiful pics! Everything is still looking good and SO natural! That's what we all want! The surgery gave me more confidence and gave me a little extra enthusiasm for life as I'm sure it did for you! Thanks for taking time to update your review a year later...

Hi Annie - thanks and good luck with your healing! It gets better each day. And don't let the numbness scare you- it will eventually go away.

I'm not so much worried about the numbness as I am the swelling. Im 4 days post op now and my face resembles a chipmunk....lol!! Looking at your photos, you didn't look like that. I know Im still early, and am probably just nervous!! Go next week to have stitches removed so hopefully by then, it will go down.

So glad you included the smiling picture: the others are really good to see your very positive result, but that one is just gorgeous :).

UPDATED FROM rednaxelaennyl
It has been a year!
This is going to be brief, because I really don't have too much to add to what I've already said. I continue to be happy with my results. Given how I looked before and how I look now, I cannot complain. Do I wish I look 45? Of course! My advice to anyone in their 50s and above-if you're thinking about it do it now! And I think I look more natural now than in the first six months there was more a softening of my jaw, which I prefer.

Hi Red! I rarely visit here so it was a nice surprise to see your update. How is that art studio of yours working out? We were a good crew to go thru what we did together. I guess I lucked out in my timing:-)

Hi Sandy - I was checking back to see if any of my old buddies replied and here you are! The studio is great - I was just in there cleaning tonight. The trip to Paris and seeing all of the museums inspired me. I Imagine you're looking forward to the end of winter also!

thanks so much for the comprehensive reports. altho i have received two anti harley emails it is pretty evident that he is experienced, skilled and reasonably priced and the local TLC group is an added benefit. but i am still pondering. tx, barbydoll
UPDATED FROM rednaxelaennyl
It's been a little over six months...
Hi all. It did take a full six months for the numbness to go away - in fact, as i touch the sides of my face, there is just a trace left. I look back on the entire process and can't believe I really did it with a leg swollen twice its size from the fall. However, life is back to the new normal. My art studio is just about finished - I'm already in it and working. Ok, what is true about this 70+ woman's results six months later. Well, the swelling helped and I was sad when it went away. The good news - the serious marionette lines in the lower part of my face did not return. My neck is not perfect - but remember what it looked like before!? I am pleased. The best response I had recently was from the census taker (off year random sample). She was this "down home" farmer and after she asked my DOB, she said, "Well whatever you're doing, don't stop doing it!". Having the lower eye bags done was the best decision. Unfortunately, my Swedish upper eyes are starting to droop again ( had those done about 4? years ago) but they have a ways to go before they bother me. Kind of makes me look more like family again. Sorry Grace 60, if you're still around. I'm not submitting no smiling photo for you. I never looked good that way even when I was young. You can still see my neck and face - I just don't look like my best friend died. To all of you older women contemplating this, do it, do it do it! Oh yes, I LOVE having a jawline again.

Red! You look so very beautiful, natural and refreshed! It's impossible to believe that you're a "70+ woman", but how much of that is Dr Harley's work and how much is your incredible spirit, shining through, is impossible to say. I'm thrilled to hear that the studio is done and that you are in it, working. Thank you so much for posting an update, it made my day to see this. Sending you good thoughts and positive energy, my lovely friend!

Hey Red, so good to see you! Glad you are overall happy with your results! Dr Harley did erase many years from your neck and face and if you're like me, you're thankful for a second chance to look closer to age 50 than to age 70. When I see my face in the mirror, I am still astonished my wrinkled skin is still stretched out revealing a more glowing healthier appearance. The old lax skin on my neck isn't as tight as I was hoping for, but it looks 90% better than before the lift! I don't go around feeling self conscious and embarrassed about my face anymore! That's the results I was looking for. Stay healthy and happy!

Harley did also took care of the lower marionette lines and softened the upper ones. That made a huge difference for me and I also needed the facial peel after living in Miami and San Diego for so many years. Good luck with your decision.
