Today I plopped down the deposit and committed to...
Today I plopped down the deposit and committed to a date. I feel like I have done my homework. I have consulted with 5 plastic surgeons and went with the one that made me feel the most secure. Three of the five were good, but I had to make the decision to go with the physician that seemed to fit with my personality and goal. You can never ever be completely sure, but you finally have to make an educated guess. I have had breast augmentation, tummy tuck and some laser work, so I am fully prepared for what comes next. There will be 2 months of second guessing, feeling self absorbed, self involved as well as the waking up in a cold sweat wondering what I have done? Will I wake up from the anesthesia? Will I be scarred for life? I guess it just comes down to how important it is to me. My husband thinks I am a little crazy. He asked me, do you think you will feel different about yourself? That is a good question. I think I will feel more at peace and more confident. I have a long 2 months to go! The plan is a lower face lift, neck lift, and possibly upper eyes. I have to get the okay from my eye doctor since I have chronic dry eye. Even if she says go for it, I am not positive that I will. I will have to think a little more on that one.
What not to do when planning a face lift./ Bleph Decision
I have confided in a few people about my up coming face and neck lift. Now I knew that it was better not to discuss with most people unless I wanted to hear:
1. You don't need it.
2. Why do you think you need it?
Then there is the look of:
1. You have a screw loose.
2. There is nothing wrong with your face now.
3. Vanity is thy name.
So far only one person ( my hair stylist) has been actually happy for me. I decided not to tell anyone until I put the $$$ down and penciled in a date. And so far I have only told 4 people. I am not telling anyone else. I am happy with my decision and while I am not completely sure why other people want to rain on my parade, I am not giving them a chance.
I have decided to hold off on the upper bleph. I saw my eye doc and then I also saw an ocular plastic surgeon. I have decided that since I have the complication of chronic dry eye, I would want to use the ocular surgeon. I am sure my PS would do a fantastic job, that is not it. I just think once you throw in a complication you are better off going with a specialist. I would either have to have the Bleph 4 weeks before the facelift or wait a couple months after. I decided to wait. Maybe once I see the face lift I will feel it is enough. Having two separate surgeries significantly increases the cost as well.

Photos pre lower facelift and neck lift
About 6 weeks from surgery date. I am not nervous at all. I am highly anticipating the day...I am ready! Here are a couple photos of what I want changed; my neck and jowls are what really bug me.
Provider Review
I visited 5 plastic surgeons before deciding on Dr. Lincenberg. I was told by my Dermatologist and my ENT that he was very good as well. He is soft spoken and has a confidence that made me feel completely at ease. His staff is great! Kerry was funny and easy to relate to; just like a good girlfriend! Vera was also very helpful. Beautiful office with little wait time. I am so glad I went with Dr. Lincenberg. He is a no pressure guy with a great personality. His professionalism and confidence made me feel very secure with my procedure.
