63 YO Woman with Aging Face and Neck - College Station, TX

like so many of us, I have been considering a facelift for some time. I needed to find the right doctor with all the credentials. Dr Schmidt in College Station Texas at "The face place" was the doctor I chose. He is not only an ear nose and throat doctor but also a plastic surgeon. double certified.,Today is Sunday my surgery is scheduled for Wednesday yikes. I have taken my before and after pictures and will post this note after surgery is complete along with ongoing updates and pictures of my recovery.I also should note that I have had a weight loss of 50 pounds. from 195 pounds to 140-145 from a size 18-20 to a size 10 or12.

my before pictures that wouldn't load yesterday.

I am out of surgery and literally don't have any pain. I was a little bit dizzy for about an hour but I am sure that was the drugs wearing off. My turkey neck is gone and I am happy happy happy! My red lips (photo) is from the dermabrasion. It feels like a slight sunburn but only when the wind hits it. That problem is solved by simply putting Bacitracin ordinate On my lips. I am following all my instructions and keeping my head elevated and wrapped.
I was giving a prescription pain medication however I don't really need it. Going to use tylenol instead.
