Before and After
WORTH IT$6,400
Gonna post this last before and after shot. I'll post another one at 3 months then 6 months, then a full year...which should be the final result. If your face needs an overhaul like mine did that addresses the lower face and neck, i think the Biltmore lift is the best option available today.

1 MONTH POST OP BILTMORE LIFT
Much of the swelling has subsided. No more chipmunk face when I smile. Lower jawline is much sharper and defined then I could ever hope for. I will say it again and again.....Dr. Harley has some serious talents! If your looking for rejuvenation of your lower face and neck, he is the only one I would ever recommend in the whole country. If i lived abroad I will still make the trip for these outstanding results.
Again, I'm beyond being amazed at what he was able to accomplish on me.

Amazing. So handsome!
Thanks Bethyz, you are looking outstanding yourself. Gorgeous shot of you with your grey sweater there too....wow!
Thanks for the update John! How are the scars doing? You look fantastic!
hey KAT...thanks! They are fading pretty well. Been using those silicon scar strips and silicone gel. I think it speeds up the healing process big time.
Can someone please explain whats the differene between silicon strips and silicone gel I mean silicon is silicon lol and how would strips stay on your whiskers anyway? Surely the gel would be much eaier to apply and stay on the face.
I look forward to reading what others have to say. I have used strips on face and gel on back of head and behind ears(due to hair).In a lot of ways I think the gel has been excellent. I have only gone without the strips once -today- and I covered the scars on the face with a thin coat of silcone gel per pkg instructions and, once dry,I applied makeup over the red scars.
The strips made me feel like I was giving more protection, but the scars that had the gel appear less red. Coincidence? I wld like to hear the experience of others. Also,I used Mepitac that Dr H uses, but wld like to know if anyone has tried both and found one more healing than other.

Sonow, I was really impressed with Curad Silver Solutions when I cut my finger. I am just taking my stitches out now but that's what I have been using. I also ordered some Banda-Sil (sort of like a second skin product). So sorry you are still having a hard time with your scars. :(
Thank you KAT
Your results are really something John; they just keep getting better.....even in the 'dog tired' shot, you don't really look it and that's what I'm hoping for. I agree that you look very handsome and I also think you look more approachable. I don't mean that you looked unapproachable before but there's just a new sort of openness. And how faded the scars are is amazing! Thanks for continuing with the updates :)
thanks you so much for this information. How long did it take you start going out? How long for the pain to go?

thank you so much.
Wow!
How you feeling nccountrygirl? I can say the same for you too. WOW!!!
Take it easy...follow those post op instructions. Don't bend over and keep your head elevated when sleeping for 2 weeks. You look fantastic already. SO YOUNG LOOKING!

Aww! TY so much. Swelling/bruising around eyes is bad. It will pass. Thx for asking. Hope ur continuing to see improvements.
Yea, I heard it's hard when you get the eyes done as well. A little discomfort at first...but well worth it. In a week you'll feel so much better. It will go by quick, hang in there!
Look at that chiseled jaw!
Thanks OverSeasAnn. I can't get over the difference myself. The guy did a great job. So glad I chose Dr. Harley.
You seem to be a quick healer. It really takes up to 8 or sometimes even 12 months before all swellings and 'stuff' is gone. Are you using a scar-cream?
OH yea, I purchased silicone scar strips at walgreens. I also bought this silicone roll on applicator pen. I roll that on 3x a day. I did heal quickly. The swelling is coming down every day. Just taking it's time.
Remarkable difference! And you're healing so quickly; certainly can't see any sign of them in the photo. Actually, even your skin tone looks better, what do you think?
It really is maurdian. Dr. Harley really went above and beyond with me. I'm still kind of shocked by the difference. My skin does look better, that's weird i just noticed that too. I've been using this moisture cream with SPF 30. I slather that on in the morning and put extra around the incision area and the neck. Just have to remember to use it every morning now.
Well, whatever it is, the cream or the facelift or a combination, it's wonderful. Part of your more youthful look (and I wasn't kidding about looking like your own son) is the overall healthier and more vibrant skin! Really appreciate your postings and your photos. And I think I'm going to go and read up on your hair transplants too. Not that I'm bald but thinning way more than I would like and will be going to "The Bull" next summer anyway :)
Isn't it the body sending tons of healing cells to the point of trauma a big part of the "glowing skin" phenomenon post facial surgery? So many women say they go without makeup in the first month or so.
Good point Grace; seems logical now that you mention it but I hadn't thought of it.
Add to more attention to nutrition, hydration and maybe skin care and there you have it. Not much to do with the surgery itself.
