WORTH IT$14,000
I am encouraged. Still have a little bruising on right side of neck. There is a pucker there with lines. Hopefully this will resolve with time. Lasered area still red. Makeup tends to irritate it so I try not to wear it much. I know all these issues take time and patience which is tough. I want to see myself as 10-15 years younger right now!! I don't see it yet, but I'm still a little swollen And red. I believe all this will resolve in time (maybe 3-4 months). Dr told me I easily look 15 years younger already. He of course is looking at it differently (as a Dr). I am very encouraged by this. After all I'm a walking advertisement for him!! Will post pics at 4 weeks/ 1 month post op.

Really encouraged!!
Time is the best healer. I feel so much better. I can go out with make up and feel comfortable. Still swollen on right more than left (see picture) but swelling is going down slowwwwwwly. Patience patience patience. The upside is I have no jowls or saggy neck. And my skin is so smooth where it was lasered, but still red without make up. I saw friends the other day that didn't know about my surgery and they were telling me how wonderful I looked!! That was really great for my self esteem!! I need a haircut in the worst way and some color to cover my gray roots. That is scheduled for next week. I am on my way!!!!
Thanks so much for this site. It is a life saver.

Better bur face is rounder and smaller
I'm not sure if it's the swelling but face looks rounder and smaller than my skin really soft and smooth and sags and jowls are gone. But I was hoping for a refurbished look of me. I kind of feel like I'm someone different. I'm going to get my haircut and colored and I hope that will help a bit plus I am still swollen ad I hope that will help in time as well. Here are some before and after pics. Bmi 5 weeks post op m

Look at that skin, look at that neck and jawline! Wow terrific results. I think it will take some getting used to ... the new you. Don't look back only forward. There is a lot of healing still to be done and I'm sure much swelling to dissapate. You are probably used to seeing the puffiness of a swollen face for weeks now that as the swelling goes away you are thinking your face is smaller, it probably is minus swelling. Isn't life just grand? Hair cut and color will brighten your day. Keep on smiling and keep in touch -

You look absolutely gorgeous! Your before and after pics. show a remarkable difference! I'm planning on having my surgery this summer; my neck is so similar to your previous appearance. I want mine to look as great as yours. I agree with your dr., you most certainly look 15+ years younger darling! And looking fabulous !
