52 Yr Old Getting Revalift and CO2 Laser Resurfacing

Just to give you an idea years later, no touch-ups, just some lip and marionette line filler done a few years ago. The photo was cropped in Lensa but not edited with filters. I am still very happy and am considering going back to do my eyelids as they have begun to droop some. I am 59.5 now and really expected to have lost a lot of my results. Yes, my neck has some crepey skin now you can't see well in this photo, it mostly shows when I lift my head but I can live with that. I don't want to not look my age, just look good for my age. I've put on some weight too but it hasn't messed with my results.

So it's been 2 1/2 years since my surgery and I honestly can say it was one of the best things I ever did for myself. Dr. Nease expects there to be at least 7 years of results for me so for now it's just maintaining his work. I have had some followup erbium laser treatments on a regular basis to keep my skin smooth and tight and began using retinol cream daily as well. I gained back about 10 pounds that I lost from post surgeries but I am working on losing it, the nice thing is it hasn't affected the results of the facelift so that's good. I also now go in regularly for lip fillers and fillers to fill in the nasolabial folds and any lines around my chin which definitely boosted my results. All in all I am extremely happy and have learned a great deal about taking care of my skin in the process. For me this wasn't a way to look younger just look my best for my age but it is nice people are shocked when I tell them I am 55.

My ears are healing up, scabs are gone for the most part, now it's just waiting for the skin to smooth out and the scars to lighten. I still have some bruising behind one ear and on the back part of my cheek but nothing that concerns me, just taking some time for it to heal. I feel good, the tightness is better as I don't feel like I can't move my head one direction or the other like I did. It's more a snug feeling and the rubber skin feeling is going away as well. All in all everyday is a bit better and I am still really happy with the surgery and the laser resurfacing. I do plan to ask when I go back if there is anything that can be done about the remaining bumps of sebaceous hyperplasia as some of the larger ones still feel prominent but that just be me focusing on them.
