You look great! My surgery was scheduled just 4 days before yours, but I had to postpone because my husband had an accident :( I am scheduled for September 12 and here I go again, feeling so nervous and excited at the same time. Congrats you look very happy and pretty, what a change!

I remember that laly59!! Good luck to you on the 12th. It's really not that bad. And whatever discomfort you experience, you will forget about. I was reading my comments and I'm glad I wrote about it, I definitely don't remember. :-)

You look great! What do you think about the chemical peel around your mouth? Does it really take away upper lip lines and does the skin look a different color or texture from the non-peeled skin?

I saw my 3 year old grandbaby today and she said, "Nonnie, you are HEALING". Sweet baby girl. She's right, I'm healing!! Still away to go, but doing ok. My neck hurts at night, but I love it!! Can't wait for the swelling in my cheeks and eyes to go down.

So yesterday, during a shower, this HUGE scab fell off behind my ear. It felt so good after it fell. I didn't even realize it was back there. Under my neck is still tight, but oddly I find that comforting. This was one of the big things I worried about, that it would drive me insane, but it's really ok.
All in all, I find that I'm doing much better than I thought.

Congratulations! You are getting over the hump..hopefully things will keep getting better from here on out. BTW, I totally agree w/you that the changes to our face happen dramatically after menopause. I've read that we lose 30% of the collagen to our faces after menopause because of the lack of estrogen, it is directly correlated. Unfortunately for me, I was post menopausal at 42 and boy, I felt like my face caved in over night. Fortunately, for now, I have used fillers and botox to make it acceptable but I am anticipating that within 3 years, by age 50, I will also need a facelift. Best of luck on your recovery. Please keep us posted. Amelia
