5 year update

WORTH IT
5 years, haven’t been on in a while. Still love to see everyone’s updates and follow along with everyone’s life changing procedures.
Overall I’m very happy with my procedures. Course the chin implant was a disappointment. I get some Botox and alittle filler twice a year. Thinking maybe next year I’ll look into getting my eyes done and another fat transfer.

Dr. Handal is a passionate and caring person who really wants his patients to be 100% satisfied. His staff and facility are top line and I felt so cared for by everyone. My options and goals were throughly discussed several times beforehand. The aftercare is exceptional. Dr. Handal called me personally over the weekend to see how I was feeling. Appointments are easy to get and the compassionate care and expertise are exceptional. My results are soft and extremely natural. I am so very grateful to have had Dr. Handal and his wonderful staff.

So it's been awhile since I've posted on this blog. I've been updating my chin implant removal and fat transfer page.
I'm very happy with my face and neck lift.
It's been a wild ride and I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

Love your results; how much did the neck lift cost you ??
you look amazing.....and I'd do it again too
Hey Joanne, we are very lucky ladies indeed! Amazing when we are going through the process, is a scary and emotional ride. So happy to have traveled this journey together with you!
So happy everything came out a success! You look fantastic! Gorgeous!
Thank you for the sweet compliment
everything looks beautiful thank you for updating all of us
Thanks I truly appreciate all the blogs and personal experiences all you you ladies have shared with me as well
You're facelift if great, but what I am really amazed at is the difference in the texture of your skin. If you look at your pre-facelift pictures, you're skin is very wrinkly and rough textured, but now it looks completely smooth. Do you credit the fat transfer for this?
Thx k2014. Honestly my skin is and has been nice and smooth. I have never had a rough texture, may look that way in the picture, but my skin is super soft and smooth. My biggest problem was that my chin was so small that when my skin began to lose elasticity it just fell. Wrinkles and sagging. I've had three fat transfers. And yes that is a huge reason that I now have fullness. I've also gained 10 lbs, I workout 5 days a week doing mostly weight training. I eat extremely healthy (plant based).
Thank you!

You are so pretty! Congrats on the revision, I am sure that is a relief to to be done!
Thank you.
you look beautiful glad it has all worked out for you
Thank you. So happy to be finally done.
I have to say you look astounding! My face looks like where you used to be pre-op---I can only hope for the great results you have had but I don't need a chin implant. Sorry about the revisions you had to go thru. It was all worth it , was it not? Best of health to you.
Thank you Candygirl (luv ur name)
Has been a roller coaster ride but I'd still do it over again. For me, I reached a place where it just made me so sad to look in the mirror...
Thanks for the compliment re: my screen name--I have always loved the song by the Four Seasons--I grew up listening to them. I feel as you do---when I look in the mirror I just wince! I think one has to reach what I call ," a pinnacle of disgust" and I have certainly reached mine. I just need to ramp up my courage ---you were lovely before but now.... well, just over the top! Stay well and happy and enjoy your newer and most lovely self.
Same to you Candygirl. :-)
You truly look amazing. Thank you again for sharing your story.
Thanks so much Teddy
