Are you using medical grade skin care? I started using that stuff about 9 months ago and, boy, can I see a difference. Your skin looks so nice.

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!

Your neck and jawline look so nice. I love how defined your jawline is. Congratulations!
Thank you :) I love it!
Wow! You had an excellent surgeon! Looks superb!
i agree!
Thank you :)
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!
Thank you so much :) I am so grateful I chose Dr Givens. He is so awesome.
What a superb neck result, you must be very pleased. I hope you've stopped cringing now (!!)
Thanks! I have smile wrinkles now ;)
A much improved outcome! Love the sokky bag thing too - & what a super Dr you have!
Thank you so much- kind words. My doc was super. Very attentive. Very available.
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.
Thanks for the extra details!
