42 Year Old Getting Rid of my Other Chin :) - Calgary, AB

I wish you the best of luck! I have been researching this like crazy and will be following your results! Please keep us posted! I'm also in Calgary and will be interested in hearing more about this doctor!

I just got my mini face lift and the double chin is gone too. You will probably sleep the entire day of your operation. So you should mark all your meds, and keep the pain killer by your bed side and have at least 2 bottles of water ready for you. My husband had to carry me to my bed, I was out cold, because I woke up during the procedure. So they gave me more sleeping pills. I have no recollection of being dressed, wheelchaired to the car or anything. I woke up in the middle of the night in pain, so I knew where to look. As long as you don't have to care for children, you'll be able to manage on your own. You will sleep a lot the first few days. But, you should have your girlfriends husband or a man to help you get home and in bed. Make sure your bed is ready with lots of pillows cause you'll need to sleep upright.

I'm on day 16 and I think you need someone to hang out with you for the first 3 days. Are you going under general or local? I was under general and I feel it's better to have someone hang out with you till the stuff is totally out of your system. I had an issue with a pain killer they gave me and day 2 I sure am glad I wasn't alone. Ask a friend or a relative to hang out with you during the day while your husband is away. After day 3 you'll have your wits about you again. Good luck and don't think too much about it. Soon you'll be post op-ing and soooo happy!

I think you will be thrilled with the results. It is a amazingly slenderizing procedure for those who carry weight in their necks. On this web site, you can see where after a neck lift some people look fifty pounds lighter overnight. I am betting you one of them. You results are going inspire others. You are beautiful, and it will only get better. I look forward to seeing your postings. I wish you a good recovery. (Note: I have mine in September, so if you have any questions, you can send me a personal message).

Keep busy. Go see a bunch of movies, play your music, hook up with some friends... This is the worst you will probably feel. Anticipation and your imagination will go into overdrive, if you don't find yourself enough distractions. It is going to be great! After it is over, you will likely be on a natural high for a couple of days. You are going to be very proud of yourself. Write me after!!!!

I'm glad you are with someone. Your child will be taken care of even if you have to suffer silently. The last thing you want is someone antagonizing you while you are at their mercy. Cheer up, I'm not even 2 weeks into mini face lift, and I'm cooking up all kinds of stuff. I just made hamentashen.

That is strange that he said not to have good expectations. Did you ask him why he said that?

Have a consult with earl Campbell he's amazing !

Good luck tomorrow! I'll be thinking of you!

With the recent development of Exilis, RF, treatment if the neck lift is not as tight as you would have liked after surgery, you still have the ability to tighten your skin and remove more fat with radio frequency, without surgery. It is very reasonably priced, too. Wishing you a wonderful recovery. I think you are going to be over the top pleased. I really do!

My double chin is looking gone. I love it. Now I'm waiting for the swelling to go down. And my ears to heal. The stitches for a face lift are behind the ears. You'll be so pleased!
