52 and Hate Looking in the Mirror....Chester, NJ

Well here I am again perusing the pages of RealSelf contemplating getting another lift. I’m 60 now and feel that I need one. It’s a waste of money to buy into the Botox and the fillers at this stage…. I have a consultation set for this Tuesday with Dr. Andrew Miller. I chose him because of some reviews I read and his before and after pictures…. I will keep you posted!!!

Well it's been over year and half since my lift and while I was overall happy with my results , I have to be honest and say for the $$ I paid I am disappointed that the results are not holding up. I was told by my PS that the results could/should last up to ten years and my lines around my eyes and mouth would be gone. Not true. Almost as soon as I was a few weeks post lift I saw my face slowly slipping and lines reappearing. I had fillers and Botox a few times since the lift and didn't realize I would still need that. I am not wealthy so I can't/ won't keep doing that. Yes I am vain and I am my hardest critic but it is how I see it. I already want to go back to my PS for him to pull my face tighter!! Regrets? No,I would do it all over again but I wish my face wasn't already going back to where it was before surgery.

Hi All!! Wow can hardly believe it will be one full year since my surgery on Feb.6th. I thought it would be helpful to share some
pictures of me one year after. I tried to duplicate some of
My b4 pics with no makeup and just normal. I also included a couple of me all done up. Also I have not had any fillers or
Botox since September. I would love to every three months but it's just not in my budget. Maybe I will treat myself once a year! Overall I am quite happy with my results. Did i look better with some
Swelling in the early days? Yes I think so but still in all I think I look better and less tired then before! I would do it all over again, and in 5 years or so I just might!!! Hope everyone is doing well and I hope sharing my journey has helped some of Y'all!
