HI - Am a 51 year old female - lost approx 50 lbs. and had excess neck skin and sagging lower face skin to deal with. After much online research, consulted with Dr. Levens in Coral Springs. Felt confident about his abilities but nervous about the procedure itself. Did not want the "windblown" look or the Jack Nicholson as "The Joker" look. Results are above and beyond what I expected! I am SOOOOO happy and I am a very particular gal ;o) My husband says I look 20 years younger...I feel so much more confident and happy :o) . It really has made a difference in my overall sense of well-being because I feel like myself again :o) The neck looks youthful and completely natural. All "scars" are hidden. My lower face looks fantastic - used to have a lower lip sagging down and jowels - now no more but all looks natural - not at all crazy, overly tight which was my fear... I would recommend Dr. Levens, Coral Springs Surgical Center, and his staff to anyone thinking of having either procedure. Healing goes according to schedule - after two weeks you could return to work - I would not recommend it though if you can ... your neck muscles are still tender and you might get some headaches, etc. I waited three weeks and was happy I did. It's now a month since my surgery and I'm doing everything I did before - am an active person - gym, cycling, weights, snorkeling, etc. I'm being careful - but overall - resuming activities and extremely pleased with this surgery. It's one of the best decisions I've made in my life! Am considering a mini-tummy tuck with Dr. Levens, too... Good luck to anyone who considers this surgery and Thank You Dr. Levens! :o)

Hooray for your success story! Thank you so much for sharing on RealSelf. What was your recovery like?

Very smooth - very easy in terms of what was expected...Definitely recommend using a neck pillow (like for airplane sleeping) to keep head upright for sleeping ... Getting used to the neck tightened sensation takes about three weeks before it eases - it's just an odd feeling ... Need to take pain medication for about three weeks but pain not overwhelming - just what would be expected...Thanks for asking and for having RealSelf as a website - it helped me to understand more about the surgery, results, and my surgeon as well :o)
