WORTH IT
I am at the point where my scars have healed. I tried to get close ups at an angle that shows the scars most clearly so people can see the "worst case" - no make-up, and direct light with the picture taken at the angle that shows the scars. They are not very noticeable, and you do need to be looking at them in direct light to see them at all. The left ear scar has a bit of a fold so cannot be entirely concealed with make-up. I have noticed that the placement of the scars is where people tend to form wrinkles with age anyway, so only a person who really knows what they are looking for would detect the scars. I don't even use concealer on them as my hair is often over my ears anyway.
I also posted the before pictures next to the after pictures (with light make-up) of the jaw line and jowls, which were my biggest issue. In terms of continuing maintenance I get botox in the forehead and crow's feet areas, and I have had dermal filler (Radiesse) in the cheeks and naso-labial folds. I was happy with my result before the filler, but I understand the filler stimulates collagen growth so I'll get that done regularly to prolong the results of the surgery.

I did research on various doctors in the Toronto and south-western Ontario area before going ahead with my surgery. There is a flashiness associated with the promotion and press coverage of some plastic surgeons that put me off . Dr. Harris is the antithesis of that: soft-spoken, approachable, and supportive. I was very nervous about complications that I had read about, but my recovery was just as Dr. Harris told me it would be, and was actually easier than I anticipated. He was available via cell phone for questions or concerns post-surgery. My outcome shows that his surgical skills and aesthetic sense are outstanding; I look like myself minus the ravages of time and menopause! Needless to say, I highly recommend Dr. Harris.

Additional pictures to reply to a comment

I am posting pictures of my lower face to reply to a request in a comment a couple of posts ago. I did not have strong marionette lines pre-op; my main concern was with sagging around the jowls and neck. I am very happy with my neck and jaw line now.
