Before photos - as per requests

WORTH IT$23,706
Very few women would wish to have unattractive photos of themselves on display on the Internet - forevermore, however, I understand the desire to see BEFORE snaps. Two were taken at the doctor's office BEFORE my procedure and these are arguably the most ghastly photos of me ever taken...perhaps a ruse to get me to go through with the procedure? I jest. I'll also attach BEFORE photos taken at home...not quite as fierce looking as the photos taken by my doctor! Not as close up, either? In any case, the procedure definitely refreshed.

Hi I am having my procedure next month i am 67 yrs old. Do you have any advise what I would need post opt? Thank you

A blender, lots of food that can be puréed. Have Other soft foods made ahead, ie. soups, shepherds pie. Drink lots of water. A wedge to sit upright very helpful. Listen to your inner voice as to how much moving around is needed.

Thank you :)

I add this - make sure you have a competent friend/spouse/family member living WITH you for the first 2 weeks post procedure. Then allow that person to take care of you...fetch, carry, cook, serve...really be there to baby you - makes recuperation easier and quicker - so,
don't be all alone!

Thank you for publishing your before pics. It really DOES help to see the wonderful work the Dr. did. But, he had a fabulous framework to already work with!! You've always been lovely. Is the cost listed correct: $24,000??? Sounds like Bev. Hills.
November 29, 2021
That's sweet of you to say...Yes - almost $24K - $23,706...worth every penny. Actually, I think that price is about middle of the road as this procedure goes - and it's much MORE expensive in Bev. Hills - I have that on the best authority. Basically, find a doctor whose reviews AND photos of clients impress you most - don't go by any sort of bargain price...in fact - run from any sort of sale price!!!

At age 71 (4 years post surgery)

debwoo
Four years after my face lift and at age 71, I'm feeling fortunate to have had the procedure. The one obstacle I encountered - gaining weight! I remarried in 2018 to a wonderful man - who happens to be a marvelous chef - and so he happily does all the cooking and I've been incredibly well fed...but the snag is - one doesn't want to gain weight. The pandemic kept us at home too much...and with too little exercise so it's imperative that we change our ways...silly to go to the trouble of a procedure like this - only to get fat!!! So I'm back to lap swimming...my daughter (who married the year I had my procedure) will have her second baby in March and once again all the family will gather to celebrate - husbands #1 & #2 will come from London and Eastern Washington with their wives...and I intend to be fit for the reunion...and also I will be helping my daughter with her new baby so that requires a degree of fitness too. My message today is - once you undergo a procedure like this - don't get overweight as it's hard to take off the weight and, of course, weight ruins "the new you"...so I managed to curb my appetite just in time!

So wonderful! You look so young and healthy. Im sure youll lose weight with all the great information out there. Earlier dinners!
August 16, 2021
Thank you! And yes, earlier dinners for for us. : )

You look wonderful! When I went to see Dr. Naficy for a consult, he recommended a chin implant as he says I have a slightly receding chin. I am curious if you had that done as well. Also, did you have anything done to your eye area such as a brow lift or upper eye blepharoplasty?
August 16, 2021
Chin - no. Eye area, yes! Dr. Naficy is v. skilled - I think his advice is golden : )
August 16, 2021
Thank you, good to hear.
August 16, 2021
You look fabulous! I love your style!! Wish I lived near WA to see him. I'm in NC. Still looking for a doctor at 67.
August 19, 2021
There’s is a great facial plastic surgeon in Asheville/Clyde, NC by the name of Dr. David Harley. Check him out here in RS he has 5 star reviews from his patients. So that way you won’t have to travel far.

Look carefully. I did not.

Imbracing your age with grace & style. You’re such an inspiration! Keep on smiling!

I am glad I had my procedure as I continue to look and feel younger than my years. If you can afford it, I say - go for it! Since my surgery - I recovered, traveled a bit, met a wonderful partner and on July 4th we celebrate our first year of marriage. Life is good!
