So when did my face turn into Shar-Pei puppy? Lower Face and Neck Lift with Croton Oil Peel and Breast lift, Charlotte, NC

Two weeks post-op

absolutely love my results! My Croton oil peel was done on my whole face. Normally you would have a deeper perl but with the face and neck lift being done at the same time it could've compromised my healing… So I had a moderate peel but still light in the results! Today is day 15 and I still have numbness in both ears. I am posting everything without makeup so you can see the true results. Still have a very tight tight feeling around my chin extending upwards to my ears; So not fully able to turn my head left or right yet. I have had you things done by Dr. Hunstad now ... He kept telling me faces were his favorite… I am seeing why now! Truly a gifted surgeon and I highly recommend him! He also did I breast lift. At 50 years old I am absolutely thrilled with my new boobies! Still have one covered due to some extra repair done on it. Can hardly believe these are mine without implants!

Wow sorry if your trying to read my crazy writing! I just noticed so many spelling errors! I am between moves and have been posting off of my phone. Can't see great since I cannot wear my glasses yet, due to stitches!
looks great I have never heard of that kind of peel before thank you for sharing
Hey Cd...I did light version of this Peel ,Just because I was having a face-lift at the same time. So If you're interested in the peel...it's done a little deeper usually and has fantastic results!

7 days Post-Op recoverig quicker than I expected from my SMAS lower face lift, neck lift,Croton oil peel and Breast Lift!

I returned to the doctors office today for the removal of some of the staples and stitches… Felt a little bit of stinging but nothing too bad. Also had oxygen treatment on my face, I have to say besides the uncomfortable tightness I have not had any pain in my face or on my breast. It really is unbelievable. I return in two days to have the remaining stitches out. So far so good! Posting a picture of the entire area that was worked on. Continues to improve each day.

Today is one week since I had my lower facelift and fat injections. I am doing pretty well myself, and appreciate you sharing. I also lost a large amount of weight. I had a tum my tuck 8 years ago after the weight loss, but the neck was beginning to become to much. Pray that we both have a speedy successful recovery.
Thank you for posting. It is nice to know somebody's at the same spot I am. I also had a TT about eight years ago. Would be curious in knowing if you were experiencing numbness of your ears at this point? I do go tomorrow to have the rest of my stitches out so it may be good
Hi Lizzya! Thanks for the update! Wow! You look unbelievable! So happy to hear you are doing so well. Keep those pics coming!!!
