Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

12 month update
Given a few comments on my last entry, I figured I'd show the scars (what scars?! truly) at 12 months post.
In general, my face has settled nicely.
My jawline is a little softer than it was earlier on, so it's not *quite* the sharp clean line it was, but I know nobody notices it except me. Eric the under eye worm is still (just) visible, but also unnoticeable to anyone but me.
I really don't think about my facelift any more, but I AM much happier with what I see in the mirror and with photos. If I ever have an 'off' day (and yes, I still (again) have some), I just drag up a 'before/after' picture and immediately feel better :).
I'm still dating and don't at all feel as if they would have any inkling that I've had a facelift.
As a note, men my age don't contact me on dating sites, so I figured they were filtering out anyone over 40 or something. As an experiment, I changed my age to 40, used the same photos, and voila: HELLO, THERE YOU ARE 50-ish YEAR OLD GENTLEMEN! So yeah, apparently I've aged out of the dating world for my peers :/. Still, with my age at 50, I get a lot of messages from men much younger than me. I'm okay with it :).
Again, if anyone wants to see pictures, I'm happy to share privately, just message me :).

Photos
I know how immensely helpful (and fascinating) photos are in reviews, but I no longer felt comfortable having identifying pictures up.
I'm more than happy to share privately if you message me.

9 months-ish update
I consider this my final result. I'm (still) really delighted with it.
The scars are literally imperceptible (I still can't believe that!), and my face hasn't dropped back like I feared it might (it really was an irrational fear, but I still had it...).
Longer term after effects (other than looking fab, I mean :)) below:
There is still a tiny bit of a kind of 'not feeling normal' in front of my ears. Not numb, just not 100% normal when I touch it.
Eric the under-eye worm is still around and comes and goes depending on his whims and where the light is coming from, but he's not really visible to anyone except me. I met with someone off this site and she said she couldn't see it either.
I STILL wake up with 'lowered eyelids/brow' in the morning as if my brow lift has dropped. I'm not sure if it's a muscle thing or a swelling thing, but I've learnt that it clears as the day goes on (phew! the first time I noticed it I freaked out). For all I know, it did that before also and has nothing to do with the surgery (brow lift, lower bleph), but I've included a photo so you can see what I mean.
As for my personal life, I felt confident enough to hit on a beautiful 36yo hottie on a dating site and he's really the first to get up super close and personal to all those almost-invisible scars, AND to see me at my worst post-facelift (and by 'worst', I mean puffy-faced and hungover first thing in the morning :/). He thinks I'm beautiful which is beyond lovely (and he didn't even qualify it with a 'for your age', so good for him!).
I'm now well past feeling self-conscious about anyone being able to tell that I've had the surgery, which is great. It's just the new normal :).
