I like my long term results. I feel confident and happy. The best thing is that I look normal. I did not take plastic surgery beyond what looked natural. I had a great surgeon. I think looking over done is more aging than actual aging. I don’t think I will have any other surgeries. At 62 I’m not willing to go under anesthesia. Having the surgery was what I needed. I hated my neck and chin. I found it changed my behavior. I felt embarrassed. Now I feel I am aging in a good way. I don’t mind getting older as long as I feel good in my skin and I do.

You look wonderful! I had lower face and neck lift surgery done beginning of June 2019. Did you have a lot of uncomfortable tightness/pulling around ears and neck/chin? If so, do you remember how long this tightness lasted. Thank you!

Yes I did. It drove me mad! I got lymphatic massages and it did help.

It lasted a long time. I think I just got used to it. I’m not sure how long it lasted.

You look stunning - I know what you mean when you say you were embarrassed by your looks. I hated looking in the mirror and having people look at me. I also had a ptosis of my right eye. I got my mini face and neck lift may 2019 and I am very pleased with results at 59 years of age. I hope 4 years from now I still have same results as you have had . Thanks for sharing your journey.

My results have held! I have not had any fillers and the only thing I still have done is Botox- I think the savings in not having to get filler totally justifies the surgery expense. I ended up having long term numbness in front of my left ear but it is minimal and mostly I don’t even notice it. It is so nice to put on make up and not lament the face looking back at me! I’m still so happy with my results. I will be 61 next week.

You look terrific! When you did the procedure--did you have general anesthesia? That's the part that makes me nervous :)
