66 Yr Old Great Grandmother of 5 So Goodby Wrinkled Neck and Jowls!!! - Atlanta

I actually wanted to see him in person the face is all he specializes
In and get does about 6 a week so he definitely has the experience each procedure takes about 2.5 hrs he's a very busy guy but very personable you will like him

I wanted to post these now so it reminds me how bad I look so I don't chicken out. I will post the day of the surgery because I think that helps women to see what you really look like that first day or rather have my hubby take them because I will be sleepy a lot . Good luck who is doing your surgery joy33

Dr Harley I'll try my best to keep you posted. I have everything ready, I live 3 hours away so will be staying in Ashville Sunday night surgery is at 6:15 am and Monday night.

Ok good luck I live in atlanta. I am in going March 17 I am going to stay at the baymont which is right on the same st as Dr Harley office I will stay a couple of days then I will have to go back in a week to get stitches out

Hi Joy -I'm five days before you. Are you going to be going back the same day and then returning to have your stitches out?

Are you excited? I will be returning home then going back. Wish I could stay and relax but we are raising a twelve year old grandson and have to be home. for him. Maybe our paths will cross we are staying at the Marriott, good luck I will be watching for your results. Do you know if Dr Harley still does the chemical peel? He said the lift would take care of wrinkles on my cheeks but I swear I don't think it is possible. Lol

I don't know about the peel I can call his office juaita would know where do I live
I am not scheduled until March 17. I actually talk to Dr h today I decided to have my lower eyes done he actually return my call while he was driving home I know ps doctors don't do that

Yes he does a 30% TCA peel - no blue dye. I watched every YouTube video I could find on it it's the same prep as Obaji without the dye. So you can research both that one and the TCA. I would advise you to skip the reviews on home peels. There is so much variety in how they're done and the level of expertise or lack of it. I'm sure there are some people who know how to do it but I saw some pretty awful stuff with people who took significant risks and ended up burning themselves.

We're so lucky to have Dr. H. And his team!

I agree with you on my eyes to me this is a little scary I feel I can get botex around my eyes which I have been. what date in March are you getting done, I do not want to look in the mirror too much right now lol

I'm on the 11th. Dr. Harley said my eyes were fine and to let them be when I brought it up during the consultation. About a week later I called and asked again and he said he'll do uppers if I want. What bothers me most is my lowers, they have what looks to me like the beginnings of festoons but Dr. Harley thinks it's filler that wasn't properly done and to let them be and they may fix themselves...I don't know, it's been a year but I hope he's right. That's why I'm thinking best to leave it for now. I can't wait for the date to get here so it's done and over with...the anticipation is stressful.

I agree with you I am going to call him tomorrow because all he told me is do I think I need my eyes done so I want a real answer from him and he took a picture so I am sure he can give it me. I hate the 6 week wait when I was there on Feb 2 he did have an opening from a cancellation for next week but it was too soon couldn't get away from work. I can't wait to see how you look so I will be watching for pics thanks so much

I'm glad you're going to call him. You might even send a couple close-ups of your eyes. I think the difference between choosing the brow lift and choosing the upper Bleph is whether there's a shorter space between your eyebrow and your eye than there used to be. And I know he does do brow lift says well but I doubt that he does them very often. So you might want to include that in the conversation which he thinks would be the best for you if he thinks you should do your eyes.

Hi again March girls! - I cannot believe the difference the under eye made and I've only had these bags for about a year or so. Dr. H and my bff also thought it made a huge difference.

That is what I am hoping for get rid of the bags have a safe trip home Red

Thanks Linda, I cannot wait to see your results. And I just read somewhere that the lower part of your neck that's really cool that he's going to do that.is your husband coming with you?

Well he is going to try to do it if he thinks it will work which would be another 500 so we will see when r u going home

I leave Asheville tomorrow and Greenville on Saturday. I have a very long travel day so I'll get home about midnight Saturday.I can't remember are you going to have someone with you?

Yes my hubby is coming with me we will stay at the baymont hotel on the 17th and 18th go back to atlanta on the 19th and come back up in a week to get stitches out it is only about a 3.5 he drive for me ques how was the drainage tube out in

I know you will be very happy with him, if it wasn't for this site I told him when I saw him nobody would know he was in Ashville, just a small and quaint house for his office what are you going to have done

BTW...you do NOT look like a great grandmother!!! WOW!!! I am impressed and inspired by you Pinkieleeoo!!!

Well thank you that makes me feel a lot better since I was so depressed when I had to take this selfie lol

I took my husband up with me on Mon he really wanted to me Dr Harley and he really liked him maybe after what he see I look like he will consider doing his next year. I was surprised it was a 4 hr drive up there I may stay a extra day after he takes out the stitches. That lower band on my neck he did not want to do because he said I would have a scare on it so hopefully the rest of my neck comes out alright

Linda

Southern sister, you do not look like u need anything ! What r u having done ? I sent the form and pics 6 days ago and haven't heard anything from them how long was it before you heard back ?

Hi fflower, I actually filled out my initial forms, which I found on the doctor's info page -- the one you are sent to when you click on the link at the bottom of each patients' review page, late last year. In fact, I waited a good 3 weeks to hear back from them, which I never did! Of course, I became concerned, so on good advice, I called their office number (the one that's on the website & the doctor's info page on RealSelf) to see if something was amiss. I'm someone who prefers e-mail over a phone call, so that's why I initially chose the e-mail route. From everyone's comments/posts, Dr. Harley is a 3 person organization and greatly in-demand, so I didn't want to tie up their time on the phone when I could get everything handled via e-mail. Juanita was wonderful about it. She was also concerned, and put me on hold so that she could look through her e-mails. She could not find mine, and explained to me that they usually answer e-mails within a few days , so if you did the same thing as me and filled out the form associated with RS, then it might not have made it into their inbox. You probably need to call Juanita in the morning to have her check her inbox for it, and also to send the intake forms to you. That way, you can go ahead and get started. You are kind to say I don't need anything, but I assure you, when I get around to posting the photos I sent to Dr. Harley later today, you will understand! LOL!! The photo I used for my profile photo was taken in October 2015 during my 29th COLLEGE class reunion. While it's not touched up, it's probably more flattering towards me than it should be. Since I am handling our 30th college class reunion, I really wanted to look refreshed and my neck was bothering me to the point of where I shunned turtle necks. While I don't need a major overhaul, I am of the opinion that if at all possible, facial sagging and drooping should be addressed before it "builds up" enough momentum to drastically change the structure of you face. That way, no one really realizes you have obviously had work done. They just think you've aged gracefully....and you have...only with the help of a gifted plastic surgeon!! With that said, I am for sure having the Biltmore Lift procedure, as well as, my upper eyelids done. When Dr. Harley see's me in person, he and I may decide to do the lower lids as well, but I don't want to have any surgeries before I actually need them. I'd rather do too little than too much. Plus...IF, when he sees me in person, he doesn't think I need the upper lids done, then I won't. As for my husband, he's probably getting "the full meal deal"...Biltmore Lift, upper and lower eyes lifted. pinkieleeoo, please forgive me for hijacking your thread!!! I promise I'll start my own review page later today!!! :)

I totally understand how you feel. I did send in my form with pics on the 27 th of Jan. It's hard waiting for that phone call to be set up with a phone consultant with dr h. I'm in patient I just want it done. I new he was busy ,but had no idea that busy ,doing 6 surgeries a week. Wow. I find myself searching in this site over and over again waiting until I can make the appointment to get things done its almost like life is on hold ugh I just hope Dr Harley is just what everyone says he is . I'll be traveling alone which I never ever do . My Husband would never have attempt to have this done I give yours a lot of credit ! I'll be following your post thank u so much for sharing

Hello this is pinkieleeoo (Linda) I went to me with Dr.Harley on Feb 2nd and I really like him so I am going to be comfortable with him doing my surgery on 3/17. I asked him about my eyes and his answer to me only if I felt they needed to be done, no upselling here with him. I did my research on this site before I even considered plastic surgery I had one filler done cost $1500 and said no more it only lasted about 6 months waste of money might as well spend the money and do it once. I called Dr. Harley today and had a question about doing some filler on my face and Juanita told me that was fine so I could have it done while I was asleep and that is fine with me while I am getting the neck life and lower face lift, not going to do my eyes right now maybe later I am sure Juanita will call you soon to set up the phone consultant if not call her she is a great lady.

I live in Atlanta which is a 4 he drive to ashville since my procedure is the 17th I then go back the next day for the bandage and drainage tube to come off I will stay one more day and drive back home then go back in a week for stitches to come out I am going to have under my eyes done as well as a lower face and neck lifti,s he going to do ur procedure

Hi there girl-you're not doing the driving are you?

No hubby is I just talk to Juanita she is going to call in my prescription on Friday how long were u drowsy from the meds

I like what people say about him but aI am kind of far away to go to him. Can't wait to hear about your experience and see the results. Best wishes for a quick and easy recovery.

You look great! No bruising, you have really healed nicely. Thanks for sharing your journey with us.

I am not sure about that he did not mention it when I called Juanita back yesterday I asked her about the lower band on my neck because when I talk to the dr. he said that it would leave a scar so she talk to the doctor and he said that while I was asleep he would do what he could about that line of fat to fix it and if he felt it would look good then he would do it, of course that would be another $500 but it would be worth it if he could fix it. He is also going to put some filler in while I am asleep Juanita said that is what a lot of the women do, and I do not want to make another trip up there, I am going to stay at the baymont which is done the road from the hotel for $82 a day not bad price. Thank you for commenting on my eyes I was not comfortable with doing them right now, if my eye lids get droopy and hurts my vision then I will do it. When are you scheduled for yours

I'm not scheduled yet . I have been waiting for a call back its been 7 days since I sent Juanita my intake form and pictures . I know they must be busy .

thank you I will certainly keep you updated once I have the surgery thank you for saying I do not need my eyes done I keep going back and forth on this but I will wait to see how the neck lift and lower facelift goes.

I went back and forth on my eyes too, but decided to go for it after seeing what a difference they make in combination with the Biltmore lift. Look up Caribbeangal to see a good example of benefit of having it done together. She has pictures that show her results over a year later too so you can see how she looks after the swelling is gone.

Ok I will do that but I am still going to wait until later still chicken
