I began conscientious skin care at about age 40. That being, regular facials & good skin care products (always use sunscreen). At about age 49 I began regular Botox, then began fillers shortly after that. I became sad about the appearance of my neck & jowls in 2013 & had Thermage that December. I felt okay about the results but then the sadness about my neck and jowls returned. I decided in 2015 to get my neck lifted! I did find out from my wonderful doctor that a necklift is actually a facelift, a rhytidectomy! Who knew!?!?
I am so happy with my outcome. I am so happy I did it!

This is how they are supposed to come out. Mine was done by Dr. Godin and came out worse than before I had it. Money down the drain & none of them care. Yours is soooo wonderful!

Thanks so much for sharing your experience and photos! Were there any supplies that especially helped as you recovered?

Oh yes! I took Arnica & Bromelain 10 days before surgery & continued for 2 weeks after surgery. I drank lots of pineapple Juice. I used 'ScarAway' on my sutured areas (after sutures removed). I slept propped up on pillows - still do that! I made an ice pack out of athletic socks- I put a travel pillow around my neck, put ice (made slush ice) in baggies in the socks, pinned the toes together & tied on top of my head. See snaps-I'll post.
