44 Yr Old Saggy Girl About to Get Mini-facelift with Fat Injections

It's actually been 5 1/2 months since my mini face lift with fat injections and I feel great and look great. The only bummer is how I have visible scar lines around where my earlobes attach, but people can't tell if I use my hair to cover them. I've also noticed a little loose skin where my turkey neck used to be, but it's just barely noticeable- probably only noticeable to me.
All in all, I'm pretty happy with my results. My jowls are gone. My cheeks are more defined and my nasolabiel fold lines have softened (thanks to injections). I still have rough/dry skin near my temples from healing and I can still feel some stitches that haven't totally dissolved. For the most part, feeling has returned to my face and I have no trouble wearing makeup, although I'm still too afraid to wear earrings just yet.
I go back for my 6 month checkup on Jan 5.

Its now been 2 months since my lower facelift (minilift) and there's no more swelling anywhere. My right eye has returned to normal (now it's pretty much even with my left eye). Some stitches have snapped during the healing process, but Dr. Winslow said that was normal. I still haven't regained feeling in a portion of my face, but it doesn't bother me. At least, I can finally sleep on my side again!!
The only thing I'm a little bummed about is that my nasolabiel fold lines and the lines that run down from the corners of my mouth have returned, although they still look better than they did before the fat injections. For some reason, fillers of any kind never last long in my face. :(
Another thing that kinda disappointed me was that I know longer have a perfectly tight and defined jawline, like I did during the first couple weeks following the surgery. My skin has began to relax again as the stitches dissolve, returning some of my jowling and even a bit of my neck sag.
With all that aside, I'm still happy with the results, as long as I don't experience a 100% revert within the next 2yrs. I still look much better now than I did before, in my opinion.

The swelling on my face has gone down even more since last week and I'm wearing makeup and contacts again. My right eye is still very droopy- from the swelling pressure on that nerve, I guess. I really hope it rises to stand with its buddy soon.
