Request for advice and a big THANK YOU.
WORTH IT$10,500
Thank you all for the support you've provided. I'm not usually much for online support, but this community has certainly taught me a lesson on that attitude! I am wondering if I should have had my lower eyes done at the same time, but that is past. For now, I'm trying some serums. Elemis Eye Duo first. If you have any advice on serums for face/eyes, I'd love to hear them. Thank you all again.

5 Weeks Post Op Before and After Photos
5 weeks. Seems like 5 months. The attachment of my earlobes at the bottom is still a bit red and under my chin is still a little sore. I still have some swelling in my face, a lot under my chin, and a little hardness and numbness in front of my ears. All normal, according to Dr. Richards. He says all the lump under my chin is swelling that will resolve over the next month or two.
I'm pretty happy with it. People mostly say I look "radiant" or "glowing", when they comment at all. I usually tell the older women that I had a lower lift and let the men and younger women just think what they will!

And I wanted to do all these with no makeup or fussing. I don't usually wear makeup anyway, but I do usually try to make my hair look a little better than in these pictures.
Looks like mother and daughter!! You look amazing!!
Thank you!!! It's not super tight, but he said it would not "fall". And it does look more natural then the tighter ones I've seen.
You look gorgeous! Happy for you.
Thanks. I'm happy with it, but hope it doesn't get any looser. Worry. Worry. Oh vanity!
Beautiful
Congratulations. A complete and perfect success.
Thanks. We are so critical of ourselves. It helps to hear positive feedback.

Before and After at 3 Weeks Post Op_right side pics
Even with the swelling under my chin (which I hope goes away - yes it's making me a bit neurotic and I know it's only 3 weeks post and the doctor said it would all go away - I'm leaning toward "worth it". I'm off for a family vacation today. We'll see who says anything about the difference and if they "know".

You look fabulous!! Enjoy your family vaca!! If no one says anything it's because they think your profile always looked that tight..but will secretly be looking at their own faces in the mirror!!
Exactly! And have fun!
Have fun!!!
They'll think you had a vacation before you get to your vacation! You look great, seriously. My vote is definitely worth it.
thank u so much for posting this u r a wonderful lady :) and u u look great
Aww. Thanks. I'm giving back for all the support the ladies on here have given me. :)
Hope you are doing well. I scrolled back up to your before pictures. You really look GREAT. hope you are happy with the results. One month out is still REALLY early so I wouldn't worry too much about your chin. Plus --if you hadn't pointed it out I never would have noticed that.
Thank you. This is an adventure. As the swelling slowly goes away, the skin is less tight. Part of me knows that it may tighten up some again and the fact that it is not really tight is what makes it look more natural. The other part freaks out worried that it will get so loose it sags again. I'm looking forward to not being so focused on my own face and neck! :)
Mine all seems to be coming together. The swelling seems to be going down quickly. You look and will continue to look fabulous!!!
