Should Have Done This 10 Years Ago! - Chicago, IL

I was approaching a key birthday and, while many told me I looked younger than my age, I was unhappy that sagging muscles made me look tired all of the time. I had a neck lift, face lift and lower eye surgery 7 weeks ago and found it to be a remarkably painless process. The worst part of the recovery for me was sleeping propped up on pillows, instead of on my side, for multiple days after the surgery. I recovered quickly enough that I could go out to dinner with friends and return to work after just 2 weeks. Of course you should expect swelling and some numbness to take several months to completely disappear.

It is an expensive surgery, but I believe it was well worth it because of the natural and remarkable results. My husband, children and those I have told about the surgery say that I appear refreshed and 10 years younger, but still look like myself. That was very important to me - to not look stretched or odd. My jawline and neck are smooth, my cheekbones have re-emerged, and my eyes don't required concealers or brighteners any longer. Those who are not "in the know" have just told me I look great and ask if I have lost weight.
