56 Year Old Needed Tune Up!

WORTH IT
I wanted to post a few more current photo's now that I am nearly 3 weeks out! A note about a facelift.....It handles the interior restoration and can add volume to the facial areas with fat. It does not take care of fine line wrinkles, rosacea or other top layer issues on the skin. The CO2 laser did help tremendously on my skin....My doctor also recommended going to a aesthetician for IPL laser to help resolve any further bruising and assistance w/ any small issues that might need further tweeking. I have some very tiny spider veins on one side of my face. I will be needing botox, too! I also have been gently massaging any small bumps under areas of the skin behind my ears and eyes. I hope this information is helpful!

I am at a very good place in my life and decided that this was the year I wanted to undergo some major cosmetic procedures to help me feel as good on the outside as I do on the inside and help keep my aging skin in good condition. I elected to do my face first, so this review is of my 360 facelift. I have added photo's and video's which I hope can help anyone wishing to make this choice in aesthetic surgery. I am very pleased with my results and am currently near 3 weeks post op!

You already look 10 years younger, and you are only about a third of the way through your healing process! I am very happy for you. The bags are gone from under your eyes, your neck is taut, and the jowls are gone too. YAY for you! Now you won't be 60 for another 20 years!

You look stunning. How much did you pay? And what exactly were the surgeries/procedures that you had?

Hello Sweetdoll2! I had the SMAS facelift which included a cheeklift, necklift, fat transfer and lip augmentation, filling of nasalabial folds, marionette lines around mouth, upper and lower bleph and he tweeked my earlobes. He also did the CO2 laser. The cost of the surgeon's fee was $22,500. Then there is the surgery center - around $3,500 and the anesthesiologist which was $1950.00. I did one night at Serenity aftercare which was $950. I am not a wealthy person, but just really felt the need to invest in myself. I am certain there are many surgeons who well do an excellent job w/ wonderful results. I did like the fact the Dr. Moelleken was double board certified. Because it is my face, I was extra concerned about any type of mistake. But, this was just very very costly........wishing you all the best!

You were attractive before the surgery, but now you are absolutely gorgeous. I used light massage/pressure after my necklace and liposuction under my chin 4 years ago. I am 58 and getting ready to do a neck lift and upper eyelid/brow lift surgery. I've bookmarked your post after reading everything you have shared. Thank you so much for every detail you have posted. I will keep looking for more updates.
