I'm scheduled for a little over two weeks and I'm getting cold feet. I'm so scared that I'll be worse off afterwards. I'm having trouble sleeping and keep looking at photos of myself and think I'm crazy for doing this.
I know my surgeon is good but I just can't help worrying that I'll look so different afterward. Is this normal????

I was freaking out too. The first week is rough, but you will be SOOOO glad you did this. You will look like yourself afterward because it doesn't change what people notice (eyes, nose esp). Nobody has said anything to me! I did cheat for several months before surgery with Secret Lift Pro so my turkey neck wouldn't be so visible; I think that's why.

I am beyond nervous but also excited to be rid of my turkey neck and jowls.
I've always hated my side profile even when I was younger. I couldn't get rid of my turkey neck no matter what I weighed. My mom and late grandmother also have and had it.
Now at 47 and combined with Jowls I can no longer mask it with long hair.
I can't wait to be on the other side and I pray my results are as good as ones I've seen on here. It's terrifying to be cutting into your face and worry about something going wrong!
I'll update on Saturday if I'm feeling ok.

Best of luck darling... I was exactly the same as you, I was petrified!! Literally couldn't sleep two weeks building up to op, even had to go to the doctors and explain my situation and he gave my some diazepam to calm my nerves for a couple of weeks leading up to it, anyway it all worked out well!! I'm now 5 months pre op .. And really happy that I done this , you will be absolutely fine xx

I was panicking all the way there and crying feeling sorry for myself. Now that it's done I feel so much better!
I'm very swollen and in some pain especially around the jaws.
Can't wait to see the finished result! I already love my chin and jawline!
I also don't know if I mentioned it but I also got a chin implant. Was on the fence about about it but then figured I had to let him fulfill his vision for me. Plus it was half price being combined with the neck/ chin lift

It's perfectly normal to be nervous. :) Remember all the research you've done, and why you decided to move forward in the first place. This is an older post, but a number of doctors commented on pre-face lift anxiety in this thread. The asker was especially nervous about general anesthesia, but I think you may be able to relate.
Hopefully folks in the community will have some tips for dealing with the stress. :)
