My Bariatric Life Massive Weight Gain & Loss Ruined My Face but Dr. Catherine Winslow Made My Dreams Come True -- and No Scars!

Recent photos

WORTH IT$14,800
Here are some recent photos of me at age 53 -- no make up -- in Mexico and Belize where I lived for 4-months before I made a major life change. I really should have some professional shots done again... but honestly I don't have the time. My life is so full!

Most recently I had my hair cut super short and let it go it's natural silver and black. When I walked into Dr. Winslow's practice the ladies were gob-smacked. They thought I'd had it colored with the beautiful shades of silver. So it would be really fun to have some glamour shots done with my new look.

As for my major life change, I retired to the country up in the mountains from my big house in the city. I have 4-acres, a barn, a tractor, and a smaller house. My home is surrounded by acres belonging to other farms, so I have an incredible amount of privacy. I enjoy looking out my windows and seeing horses and cows -- too far away to smell them -- as well as the occasional wild turkeys, deer, and various others. I am in pursuit of the simple life now: organic gardening (going for my master gardener certification right now), preserving foods (canning and dehydrating), crafting my own soaps and oils, and of course, writing.

I tried to upload more than these two pix but for some reason they did not "take." So until next time...

I had my facial rejuvenation on 12-10-13 with Dr. Catherine Winslow because her facial rejuvenation results simply blew me away, while no other plastic surgeon's work even came close to getting me enthused. I have searched for a long time for a plastic surgeon whose face lift work impressed me. I could find no one. The before and afters photos always looked the same to me. Then my aesthetician told me about Dr. Winslow, that she is simply the best there is. I had very high standards going into Dr. Winslow for a consult. Meeting with Dr. Winslow was thrilling. I had so many areas of concern for my face. And she told me how she could address every one of them! Then I asked her if there was anything else that she would want to address because I did not want to look "refreshed," I told her that I wanted to look young! So she suggested some other procedures. For each procedure that I was considering, she showed me before and after photos on her wide screen monitor. I was smitten! There was no doubt in my mind: I knew there was no other surgeon who could deliver such dramatic results so consistently. Dr. Winslow is absolutely amazing at what she does, and she has a lovely bedside manner. Dr. Winslow is prompt to return emails and she definitely brings a woman's touch to the experience. She phoned me the night of my surgery to see how I was and the next day I received a lovely gift basket in the mail. Dr. Winslow also gave me many free products that other surgeons normally charge for. I just adore her and her staff and I absolutely love love love my results. And before I booked my surgery, I asked Dr. Winslow all the tough questions. She always had impressive stats to share with me and was always polite in answering some very pointed questions. What is more, Dr. Winslow gave me an excellent price on my procedures. This was a very good price that I paid for such a highly qualified surgeon to do all 7 procedures and deliver such spectacular results. Dr. Winslow stands head and shoulders above other facial plastic surgeons for: results, price, and care. My friends tell me I am gorgeous, beautiful, that I look like a model, that I look in my 20s or 30s (I am 49). I give Dr. Winslow my highest recommendation to anyone considering facial rejuvenation. Wow! Wow! Wow!

I wish that I could edit the post. So, to add, no Botox or Filler in the photos above. They do make a tremendous difference. So, I am quite happy that my St. Bernard face has not returned without them!
Thank you for posting a 4 year update..most people don't..please post one every year so we all can see how the results do
I remain in awe of Dr. Winslow's work. Recently I saw a few before and after photos of other plastic surgeon's work -- ugh, such mediocrity. It seems to me that there are many plastic surgeons who do a good job with the body, but truly none for facial rejuvenation. I am so blessed to have found Dr. Winslow and I want the world to know about her!
Yes, you got an excellent result, which is what everyone should get that spends thousands of dollars of their money. You spent $14,000 to get that result..the average is $6000-$8000, and there is no reason those surgeons should not give an excellent result also. The laws need to change to support victims of poor results so the surgeons will be more accountable to do an excellent job, or stop doing facial plastic surgery and pay fines for mistakes. I have seen too many posts on here of botched work and no accountability..the surgeons either ignore or bully the patient.

Before Dr. Winslow used her magic scalpel on me!

I happened upon these old photos today that I had taken shortly before my facial plastic surgery with Dr. Winslow. Wow. I had forgotten how sagged my face was. She is a miracle worker!

I say that not only is Dr. Catherine Winslow the best facial plastic surgeon in Indy, but one of the very best facial plastic surgeon in the USA, even in North America. I have since moved out of IN but I would travel to her again for any work I want done.

In a sea of mediocrity Dr. Winslow stands head and shoulders above the crowds of plastic surgeons. As I've mentioned previously, I searched for a year for a facial plastic surgeon / plastic surgeon to do my facial rejuvenation. No one impressed me, whether a facial plastic surgeon or plastic surgeon. So many of the before and after results looked the same. My BFF said her mother had a facelift and she could not even tell that her own mother had had work done, that's how bad the work was. Then I found Dr. Winslow and OMG her work is like no other. The amazing thing is when I see patients in her office they are glowing because they are so over the moon happy with their results. Just like me.

Vitamin A for acne

I have been struggling with acne for quite a long time owing to digestive disorder. My clinical nutritionist recently switched me from the Acnutrol to Vitamin A from Thorne Research (a brand with no fillers or harmful additives). It has made an incredible improvement rapidly in reducing my acne. I had to take a high dose at first to get the therapeutic benefit. But then I had to back down on the dose because it began to cause hair loss. Another thing that my nutritionist recommended is to put aspirin on my acne to reduce the inflammation. I haven't tried that yet.
