my 1 year update and some new pic's
WORTH IT$20,000
In some ways I can't believe that it's been a year since my surgery. I am so happy that I decided to do it, no regrets. It's funny how quickly I got used to my "new" face, When I look at "before" pic's I'm always shocked at how old I looked!!!
Many thanks to the very talented and caring Dr. Westine who has gone out of his way to ensure that I'm thrilled with my results.
P.S. I'll post pic's of my nonexistent scars as soon as I figure out what I did with them :)

Absolutely fabulous result. Wow!

Fabulous result. I know that the laser really makes a difference too. You can have tighter skin but if it is full of sun damage, it still makes you look older. The laser gets rid of that for a long time.

if I had it to do over again I would skip the laser, taking me too long to recover.

Realself changes
Not happy with changes Realself has done. I seriously might stop reading the comments and reviews...they've made it too generic, don't know who's commenting on what until I click on the link....what a shame, was a great site.

How is it different? I have not notice much change, but then again I am not viewing this website very much. Hope you are doing well. I am doing well, and relatively happy with my results since my DP FL 10 months ago. I am noticing I need to do laser to reduce my wrinkles. It never ends!!!!

it doesn't show who's review they're commenting on anymore. Please don't do laser...I wish I hadn't. If they do a light pass it won't really help the wrinkles and if they're more aggressive you may end up with hyper pigmentation or hypo pigmentation and aren't supposed to tan anymore. I know that tanning isn't good but I've always loved the sun.

Hi Joanne, I agree with you; I would never do the laser had I known all that before I had it done! I have some burnt looking skin where I think he went too deep and it feels like orange peel. Also had the hyperpigmentation but hydroquinone took care of most of it, but now I look like a ghost I'm so pale! I hope all is well. I'm trying to get used to the changes they made to this site too, but please don't leave us! (((Hugs))) :)
Warmest regards,
murphus

Hi Murphus, I miss you too. I don't always comment but I've been keeping up with your journey. :)

I've been using hydroquinone that's mixed with Retin A that my doctor gave me but it doesn't seem to be helping...plus I have hypopigmention around the mouth because he did 2 passes there. I'm as white as a ghost, not happy. {{{ Hugs }}}
February 22, 2015
Hi Joanne, I will have to try Retin A; maybe it will help with my orange peel. :) (((Hugs)))
Warmest regards,

Hi joanne, my email notifications show the review title being commented on in the first line, which displays in my inbox. I don't have to click on it to see which review it is. That said, I don't like the new distribution of comments on the site, it really messes up the continuity of the conversation. Hope you're doing well - I'm almost at the one year mark and everything has continued to improve to this point, so still very happy overall.

This is what I found on hydroquinone. I never heard of it and was curious. http://www.paulaschoice.com/expert-advice/brown-spots/_/hydroquinone-for-skin-lightening Be careful!
February 19, 2015
I haven't noticed any difference. The email I get shows the name of the person commenting, and the beginning of the comment. Then I can click to go to the review and read the whole thing.
February 21, 2015
i agree. i noticed the change about 2 months ago but got used to it to some degree. i liked the other way better though. this setup can get confusing. you can get lost trying to find an ongoing conversation you were involved in. it seemed easier or simpler before.
February 22, 2015
I haven't seen any changes at all. But I only access it from my laptop - not an iPhone or iPad.
February 21, 2015
can you tell us how your skin is now? do you have hyper pigmentation? any orange peel skin people talk about? less wrinkles? thanks
February 22, 2015
Worked wonders on my wrinkles...they're gone! That being said, I have hypo pigmentation around the mouth area because the Dr. did 2 passes there do to excessive wrinkles. I'm hoping and praying that my skin will even out in time. No orange peel skin.
February 22, 2015
All of mine now say " New review comment" no review title. I don't like the new distribution of comments either, very confusing. I'm at 8 months and for the most part am happy. Will you be doing a 1 year update?
February 23, 2015
Odd, mine say, "New Comment on "Complete Facelift..." followed by the name of the person that commented. I wonder why ours display differently?
