WORTH IT$8,000
Wanted to give an update..
I have healed pretty much everywhere except for the lip lift. I have had stitches coming out of the skin and it’s still irritated. I love the look but dang it’s forever to heal! Just be aware of the time it takes.

Thanks for your update!

Thank you for writing about your surgery and healing. I am interviewing doctors to have these same surgeries. Your journey has been very informative. I hope I look as good as you when it is all said and done. You look beautiful!
Thank you !!
Good luck in your journey ..
Let me know if you have any questions ❤️
My surgery is tomorrow, I am getting a face lift, lip lift and fat grafting. I am taking 3 weeks off work, I hope that is enough. How much arnica are you taking? You look great, thank you for sharing your experience
I wish you the very best of luck! Please keep me posted on your healing. It’s a long process , but it’s worth it❤️
Will do, at first I didn’t want to see myself, ...... the mirror in the bathroom are huge
As you can see on pain meds
How are you feeling today?
I was taking 4 pills three times a day.
The really small ones that dissolve
And I bought arnica lotion and rubbed on my face twice a day to help with the bruises and swelling

Day 23

Went out yesterday and felt pretty confident with the healing.
Healing is slow so just be patient, it’s totally worth it!
One of my girlfriends said I looked like I was in my twenties... now that’s funny!
I know I look better than I did, but not that good :)
The surgery was more healing than I anticipated but am so glad I did it.
Will post updates still so you can see how the jawline tights from the renuvion.

You did a deep plane ?
Yes, has so many different names.
He tightened my facial muscles and my platysma bands.
Great job! You look amazing.
Wow! You look gorgeous and you healed so well so quickly. You must be thrilled.

Day 18

I have been very nervous about the scar around my nose healing. I did some research and found a product that was supposed to be amazing and healing for scars.
So I ordered it... kinda expensive but worth the investment.
It’s called E.V.E. Serum.
I put it on Saturday night and woke up Sunday and could not believe the difference in the incision!
Not kidding, AMAZED!
So I have been putting on twice a day and the change is incredible.
Also FaceTimed my daughter again yesterday and she still says my lip looks funny :/
It is higher on one side than the other, but I’m hoping it is just from swelling still.
Fingers crossed it’s down this weekend..I have a wedding to attend!!!

Are you liking your lip lift so far?? Also I had a lower lift and the scar under my chin has raised out.. I’ve never had a keloid scar in my life and the scar is very visible in my side profile... how is yours healing??
Loving the lip lift! It’s still a little uneven because of the swelling but I do believe it will even out soon.
My scar under my chin is pretty lumpy too. My surgeon has said I might need a laser treatment on it. If your surgeon has lasers in his office I would ask him if he would treat it.
Good luck! And let me know how it turns out
I will look into the EVE Serum
