Neck Lipo - Australia
4 1/2 months
2 months post check in with PS
What I thought were platysma muscles showing a bit are apparently lumps still! Oops. Delighted really as this means they will probably go with a bit more time and massage. And she thinks the wave was will also improve. I would have been happy as is. Even happier it may still improve. Also apparently I still have some swelling and the tightness around the lumps (that I thought were muscles) can be expected to soften. Next check in March at 5 mths. That definitely should be the near final result.
The process of healing is much longer than I expected.. I thought once the bruises had gone that would be it. Clearly that isn't the case.. But I would do it all again in a heart beat. I looked at the pre photos taken by my PS and wow weren't they awful and wow how much better my chin/neck is now.
I would never have had a neck lift (way too much of a chicken, too invasive.. I didn't want ANY stitches) so it really was lipo or nothing. And I have been amazed at my skin retraction. For all the people 40+ considering a neck lift or lipo, who are realistic about outcomes (with reasonable skin for their age.. Doesn't have to be like a 30 year old) I definitely think lipo is the way to go and a lot less scary/costly/less risk. I know a lot of PSs say that over 40 you are too old for chin lipo and the outcome won't be great.. But at 2 months that hasn't been my experience at all, as long as you go to someone with lots of experience with a good reputation and speak to recent patients of theirs. I have seen results of neck lipo by my PS of people in their 60s with great results!

So glad that things have been getting progressively better! I remember when you first started your review, how concerned you were. It's wonderful to hear how happy you are now :D.

Thank you so much for the photos! Wow, what an improvement in the waviness. And you look twenty years younger, too. I never even thought about what a difference it could make in the chin area, because I'm so obsessed with my stomach, LOL! You look fabulous, though. That's an amazing amount of retraction of the skin in such a delicate area :).
