Hey!
Just a quick update! Everything has settled and is fine. Still some numbness. Had the hair transplant, which is ok, but it has not been a full year so I'll wait to update that. Overall, I'm very pleased.
Could I do more? Perhaps a few little tweeks, but I probably won't.
Would I do it again? Absolutely!
Do I recommend Dr. Schuester? Yes!!

My hair has grown back quite a bit, thankfully. Right now we are discussing a hair transplant rather than surgical closure of the site, which would take a long time and could possible fail due to the large bald spot. It's basically like a big scar. I am hopeful the transplant will work!

you look amazing and have healed quickly. I agree with vee, the bald spots are smaller in the last pic, maybe you should hold on a bit longer before doing anything for them. How's the scar behind the ear doing? have you used silicone gel on it?
I had my procedure done on 4/12 ( Dr Miller in CA), and still have swelling and some bruising, but everything is starting to look good :) swelling and all.

I'm going to see a specialist for the hair, so we will see what he says. I think they have definitely improved, but feel like it's done. I'll keep you posted! Thanks!

6 1/2 Month Update
MakeitupApril 10, 2016
Finally made it to my almost 7th month review with Dr. Schuester. He addressed all my concerns. I am using a prescription for the hyper pigmentation for my ears for 8 weeks, 2 times a day. The hair loss on the biggest area may have to have hair transplants, which we will address in 8 weeks after addressing this with a hair transplant surgeon. I think I need them in the other areas as well, from a styling perspective.
I have some concerns of hollowness in some areas. I initially thought I would do fillers, but now I am thinking fat grafting, because there is an unlimited supply. He advised I would be very bruised for a few weeks, so I am still mulling it over. Fillers are expensive!
There is a little place under my chin that has extra fat and I don't think we talked about that as far as a solution. I will revisit with him in 8 weeks. I'm afraid as time goes no it will get worse. Right now it's not too noticeable.
All in all I am very happy with my outcome! Thrilled actually. I am not going to Botox my crows feet or the crinkles in my nose, I just want to look like a healthy woman aging nicely.
I think my eyes look a little hollow, but it is how they have always been. So I probably won't do anything there. The doc says my eyes look good. Just some little adjustments and the hair, I have to fix that! I can work around it, but it's a time sucker. I'm not a primper by nature.
Hope this finds everyone doing well! I'll update end of June, when I hear it's supposed to stop snowing!

You look great. I'm so sorry your hair is still not coming back in. I have to say it again to you though...I love the slightly hollow look around your eyes.
April 10, 2016
Thanks Vee! At first I was disappointed as the swelling dissipated, but it's what I have always looked like. Hair is much better..but still not good.

Your results are just wonderful! I had fat face transfer 6 months ago with good results. I did not bruise or swell too much, just some the first week, no big deal at all. I took the arnica tablets before and a few days before increased my consumption of pineapple stems, yes our local produce section of my grocery store saved them for me from their sliced pineapple and I froze them, made smoothies, etc., before and after. :)

You look incredible!!! So so much younger... I'm hoping to get mine five in London ( England) just hope my results looks has good as yours .

Thank you! i am sure yoir results will be just as good. Just do your research and find the right doc.! It was really not too bad, never had any pain. Worst part was the Brow Lift, but at the same time I still would do it again. I was not going to enter my golden years looking like that! Good luck!
