Almost 5 months later and I love the results!
WORTH IT$7,100
I am just shy one week of my 5 month anniversary since I had my surgery. I love my eyes! It took 3 months for bruising on top of my cheeks to finally disappear...very stubborn! I now have no pain on any of the sutures, the scars are almost gone..but I have two areas that may have milias(little cysts). I will see Dr. Weston in January and have them removed if necessary. This was an easy surgery..and recovery. I bruise easily, and very colorfully, and from what I have read here my bruising lasted a wee bit longer than a lot of others..but I would do it again in a heartbeat because of the beautiful results. I now would like a lower facelift..convincing my husband is the next step..LOL!

I so appreciated your in depth journey. Thank you for sharing as it is most helpful to read such an honest experience. Your outcome is amazing. What beautiful eyes you have. And yes, your husband must be pleased. I am having this surgery in February and hope my nerves, on the day of surgery, hang in there. I'm in my sixties. You are an encouraging example.

One moth post op!
I am at one month out since my surgery! I am super happy at my results. I still have a very small faint bruise at the top of both of my cheeks. My upper stitches are ropey across the lids,and the outside corners of my lids have bumps where the removable stitches were. I was instructed to massage them which I have. Time will make all of this go away. Makeup covers all, so no one notices. I have experienced times my eyes are more swollen than others..I cannot say food impacts them, but being outside getting hot while gardening or working I notice them swelling. I couldn't be happier I did this!

Thank you for the information! Now I'll know that the bumps, a little bruising and swelling a month out can resolve nicely.
Congratulations!
