You look absolutely stunning!!!! Best results I've seen so far on here! You must be so happy! You look stunningly beautiful .... And at least 29 yrs younger xx
20 yrs younger!!
Wow amazing! Great results. Just wondering if you told friends, family and co-workers and if you did not, did they notice?
You look amazing!!! Just beautiful and so natural! That's the goal right? To still look like yourself, just with a little time machine action! Question: what did you do you your lips? They are so full and pretty too. I'm considering getting a lip filler at some point t but am wary of looking like a kardashian. Yours are is perfect! Would love mine to look like yours! Congrats, you must be enjoying this new face!
You look fabulous! Very happy for you! Love your hair too!
I've got your RS journal saved because I may need to consult your PS! We are same age and my neck is really starting to bug me! Mine is more of a double chin, especially when I look down. And it's no matter what my weight is either. I can be at my thinnest and it is still there. Then there is the droopy jawline too. It's time for something, that is for sure! Thank you for sharing your experience! It is so very encouraging! Do you have anything that you would change or any recommendations?
How has your neck held up? Some women's platsyma bands return after a while. Did that happen to you? Was your bands sewn together if you had that procedure? You look gorgeous by the way.

Doctor before and after pics

Had my 3 month follow up. He said my nose tip was still swollen and should continue to improve.

you look great! I had a rhinoplasty on July 8th. Almost 5 months....I am just starting to see the swelling go down. It's a patient game. I try not to look in the mirror too much.
Such a beautiful result
You look terrific!
I love before and afters SO MUCH :)). Thank you for sharing them.

Your results are wonderful: you look SO much younger and fresher and that cranky resting face is gone. Lovely.
You look great! Did you have a lip lift as well? Cute haircut very flattering with your new jaw line!

I'm happy about most of my results overall. I wish my lips were fuller. I still have to overdraw lip liner. Not thrilled with my nose. I'm hoping it will continue to lose swelling.

I still think you just need to go back and look at your before pictures to be thrilled with your results! We will always look in our mirrors and see things we don't especially like about ourselves...that's just how we are as women. I think you look beautiful!
I think you look amazing! I plan to begin my PS search early next year and I will definitely schedule a consult with Dr. Grotting. I'm 57 and have been using Retin-A, Fillers and Botox for years. I still look good for my age, but my neck, lower face and eye lids need some more permanent help. Can you please tell me about your PS search and why you chose Dr. Grotting? I don't think I'm courageous enough to travel out of state for the procedure, so a doctor in Birmingham would be perfect for me. I was also wondering if you had anything done to your skin and/or for the fullness in your face. Both look fantastic and very youthful and natural. It seems that a lot of ladies get a laser procedure and fat transfer in conjunction with their lift, and your skin and fullness look perfect. Thanks in advance for any info you can provide. I'm just beginning to get educated on the various lift procedures and this site seems like a perfect starting place.
This site is great and helped me a lot. Dr Grotting was the only consult I had. I really appreciated his manner and his level of expertise. I had fat transfer to my face but no skin procedures.
You look beautiful and completely natural and real. Love it!
Looks so great and natural! I hope you are thrilled. Could you tell me what type of brow lift you had and where the incisions were made? I don't see any incisions so they must be well hidden! Thank you!
I ended up not getting brow lift. Instead he did upper eye lids and fat transfer to outer brows. I wish I had down lift.
I don't comment often on RS but I HAD to compliment you. You look better than the digital pic of your results. You look absolutely beautiful
