"46 Years Old, Feeling A Little Whithered"

I just turned 46 this past November and I was begining to feel like I just needed to wash the dust off the car and restore it to it's more glorious days! You know, like restoring a classic car to it's former glory! Lol...???? As time passes we are all in need of a little maintenance on the inside as well as on the outside. I have always made it a priority to take care of myself with a healthy lifestyle. I am a non-smoker and a non-drinker. I am a blessed mother of two amazing and beautiful teenage daughters! My girls have many of my facial features and when I look at them, I reminisce about what my eyes, lips and face used to look like! No matter how clean of a life we lead "Mother Nature" is always in hot pursuit of us with her wrinkle and gravity wand! Professionally, I come from a retail background which includes fashion, cosmetics as well as pageantry and the pursuit of acting in the entertainment world. Being fashion forward and presenting an overall attractive appearance has been a consistent part of my daily life. My first cosmetic procedure was at the age of 20. My large nose was out of proportion to my facial features. My deviated septum was also an issue that needed correction as well as my weak chin/profile that 3 years of braces and neck-gear did not correct. My first Cosmetic Surgeon was the father of a boy I attended High School with and was the recommended go to doctor in our city. He performed a primary rhinoplasty and chin implant. My post-op results were very conservative and did not meet my hopeful expectations. I decided to give him another try a year later for a secondary rhynoplasty and that end result still left me dissatisfied. My second Cosmetic Surgeon I sought out at the age of 24 was also a local highly recommended doctor who had a portfolio of great noses and facial surgeries. This was my 3rd rhynoplasty and the end result was much closer to my desired result. Around 27 I started to feel like my breasts were very droopy and I desired an augmentation with an implant in addition to a lift. This was a new Cosmetic Surgeon who I was referred to by a friend who was very happy with her results. Unfortunately, I got a BOTCHED! surgery. I gave him two try's and the result was AWEFUL! My implants were very high like I requested however, he left me scars way beyond camouflaging in a bathing suit. In a bra or cloths I could hide the disfigurement and at least enjoy the fullness of my implants. My natural breast tissue hung way below the implant which left me with very elongated like MONKEY BOOBS!???? I lived with these implants for about 7 years having had two babies and nursing. Once I knew I was finished having babies I then was ready to consult with a new Cosmetic Surgeon. That brings me to age 35. The doctor I found was again a recommendation from a friend. He is Dr. Stephen Bresnick who is my ONLY go to Cosmetic Surgeon! I feel so blessed to have found him. He was able to correct the unfortunate BOTCHED! breast augmentation I had previously received from a doctor who is thank goodness retired now. Dr. Bresnick performed a breast augmentation with an implant and a lift to correct what was a disfigurement. About six weeks after that surgery we both agreed the end result did not completely correct the problems that the first surgeon left me with. So Dr. Bresnick at NO CHARGE! Performed a second breast augmentation and just nailed it! My breasts were the desired size, shape with reduced less noticeable scarring. I was so thrilled and happy with my results. Now at age 46 I was in need of some facial rejuvenation! I wanted my face to emulate the the youthfulness of my figure as well as my personality and my heart. So once again I sought out Dr. Bresnick. After my consultation we agreed that I would benefit from a combination of procedures. Just before Christmas in 2015 he did both my upper and lower eyes as well as Erbium Lazer and tightening under my eyes. Dr. Bresnick also harvested some fat from my lower body giving me a more desirable waistline and transferring that fat to my face giving me a more youthful and plump face. The fat filled in my aging hollow checks just beautifully. He also augmented my thin and aging lips with Permalip implants. We went with the largest 5mm and the longest length available. I am only 4 weeks post-op so I will post pictures when all of my swelling and face has settled to it's more GLORIOUS DAYS! Thanks Dr. BRESNICK!!!
