Dr R Schmidt removed stiches. 3/30/2015

WORTH IT$10,000
Just, a quick update. Dr Schmidt removed all of my stitches with the exception of the ones that are dissolvable. You can clearly see by my picture the stitches in front of my ears are completely invisible at day 13. The ones at my temple are pink and should fade very quickly. Dr Schmidt said that I could hit the gym again hallelujah. I am feeling great, healthy In loving my new look

Wed. 3/26/2015 exactly one week after surgery

Visited Dr. R. Schmidt today in his office. I have made huge improvements. I am so pleased with my lift and my neck. Oh my goodness, I now have a neck! I can buy turtlenecks again and get my necklaces out of the safety deposit box. I avoided those for years. my husband had bought me a beautiful necklace for Christmas but it was kind of short and I took it back because of my ugly neck. I don't have to do that anymore. I can wear what I want to. Thank You Dr. Schmidt, your the greatest!

completely amazing. You look fantastic. A young 45. Did you have any skin resurfacing done? Your skin is beautiful
Hello there, yes, I had dermabrasion on my upper and lower lip. It is still peeling some but looking good. thank you for your lovely comments.
Like magic - its an amazing world we live in.
I saw your post. U r braver than i But looking good!!
You look terrific & I'm envious! I'm at 3 weeks today & still trying to cover bruises.
How are you doing now? Bruising any better?
Almost gone. Another 3-5 days I think it will all be gone. I can cover most with m make up now. Thanks for asking. Planning to update my review soon.
Glad your doing better. Great news.

Thursday... Visit to Dr. Schmidt's office

Dr Schmidt wanted me in his office the day after surgery. I am doing well and I am where I should be. I have Minimal bruising. No bruising on my face at all. only on my neck. keeping in mind I didn't have my eyes done. I am still without pain so have chosen to stop talking Tylenol.
if I get no other point across to you, I need you to understand this didn't hurt. I am a huge baby and if I knew this 2 years ago I would have already had the surgery. you may look like you've been run over by a truck but you don't feel like it, honestly you don't. Just pick your doctor wisely as I have done. I can't even feel my stitches, weird I know but I'm not complaining..

Did he tighten the muscles?
Yes he did
how big is incision under chin?? You just had face and neck done right no forhead lift?
The incision under my Chin is about an inch. Yes, just neck and lower face. Doc didn't think I was ready for eyes nor upper lift. It truly was a breeze. I would do it a) over again.
