WORTH IT
Here are a few more photos of my incision sites after 6 days. I see Dr. M again tomorrow for some stitch removal. I still have a bruise mustache that i tried to cover up with makeup and some yellowing around the eye area for some reason. Neck is practically bruise free.

You look so good! Dr. Mascaro nailed it! You look like you're in your 30s!
thank you :). had most of my stitches out today. he'll remove the last two on friday and then i'm out of here and back to CA.
Great! Hopefully as the swelling goes down you're starting to feel more comfortable with it and more you! The bruising makes the lip look odd at first, but it's looking perfect. So natural!
You look great, how are your incisions around the ear by now, can you see them?
Hi, ALL the incisions are practically invisible and it's only been 6 weeks - amazing work
Thank you so much for replying, your reviews are very helpful as I'm searching for a skilled face plastic surgeon.
Hi, incredible results, can you post a profile pics showing the jowline?

3 days after

Here are a few photos from 3 days after. Just washed my hair. I have some bruising under my nose, but the incision is almost invisible. Also, I can't even see the incisions above my ear in my hairline. Much tightness in my neck and swelling right under my chin where the fat was removed.

Couple of questions
You look awesome by the way
How much cost?
Realistically, when could you go out in public?
The incision under your chin, I haven’t seen that with all lower face lifts. How did it heal?
Hi The cost which include an overnight stay with nurse at the facility was about $11K. The incision under the chin is the most significant. It's only about 6 weeks out. It's healing ok but visible for sure. This one will take a while to "disappear"
Hi Do you have an incision around your sideburns?
Yes. But I can’t even see them.

Before pictures

Ok, here are my before pictures. Ugh.
I arrived for surgery the night before just in time to walk to the grocery store and buy some post-surgery soft foods.
Everything went smoothly the day of surgery. Walked to Dr. M's office (i'm staying only 1/2 mile away). He spent a lot of time marking up my face for my lip and mini lift. My lip measured 17mm and we agreed on a final 12.5mm.
I spent the night at the surgery center.
Almost no pain and very little bruising. the most bruising is on my top lip. Possibly from me tearing off the ice all night - I felt claustrophobic.
Incisions look amazing thus far. Due to go back on tuesday for some removal. Will post first post-surgery photos tomorrow.

You're so pretty before and I can't wait to see your post-op results! I also started at 17mm and agreed to end around 12-13mm to keep it natural looking. :) Keep icing as much as possible!
