Far Exceeded Expectations - The scars healed, natural looking

After meeting with several top rated plastic surgeons in Austin, I found Dr. Levesque. He was the only one willing to do a Deep plane facelift under local anesthesia, right in his office. This, along with his entire practice/staff, level of professionalism and explanation, etc., gave me complete confidence in having him do the procedure.
I was still nervous going into procedure day, but truly, I am still amazed that I literally walked out of there looking like nothing had happened (well, other than the stitches under the bandages, ha!) and feeling fine. I walked the dog when I got home, and was able to shower and wash my hair the next day.
I will try to post some photos that show the minimal amount of bruising. The truth is, I could have gone most anywhere and with only swelling, only someone who knew me would have wondered if I'd had a procedure done, and this from day 1!!! I guess that using local involves being given something that minimizes blood circulation in the area during the procedure, so there was just almost no bruising.
It has been 2.5 months since the surgery. The scars are healing fine. I still have a bit of tightness in my right neck and some numbness on sides of my face and around ears, but that's about it.
The really cool thing is that it is just so natural looking.

The first 3 photos are pre-op. The rest are all of the first week. I will post some later photos soon. Overall though, I’m still really happy with the results. We had planned to do a face fat transfer after the lift and decided to postpone it for another day. Yesterday,, 11 months after the deep plane lift, it happened. I’ll post photos of the post-op, and once it has healed somewhat, in a few weeks.
