WORTH IT
After silently watching and contemplating the last 2 years I finally decided it was time. I am terrified but ready. I am having a traditional facelift, brow lift, upper eyelids and revision rhinoplasty. I had a bad fractora treatment a couple of years ago that destroyed the texture of my skin and I do believe it is also responsible for the sagging. I can't fix the texture but I can do something about the loose skin. Looking forward to feeling more confident soon!

You look wonderful! Congrats. I am also 47. I am researching lower face/neck lift and brow lift. I am concerned with the brow lift and hair loss. (it is not as full as it used to be, especially the top front part of scalp) Have you experienced any hair loss?
July 12, 2017
Thank you so much! So I was worried about that as well and had brought it up to my Doc before the surgery. He said it can happen but is rare. I have not lost any hair at all from any of the surgeries but again it can happen apparently. For me I finally decided I was willing to take the risk.

I guess i just have to weigh risk, cost and reward! When i hold my brow up it really opens up my face. I dont think upper bleph would have as good of a result. Thanks so much for your reply.

Exactly it wont. I had both the upper bleph and the brow lift and I am positive that combining those gave me a way more open look. Well good luck to you whatever you decide. Keep us all posted if you do go for it!

Oh my goodness so I am a week away. I cannot believe how fast it went. When I originally scheduled the surgery it seemed so far away. I range from feeling like I want to puke from fear to super excited about the possibility of everything turning out awesome. My self esteem has really crashed in the last two years and I do not like feeling self conscious. More than anything I really want to feel confident in who I am again. Even though I know there is so much more to me than looks, the truth is when you look good you feel good!

You're going to do great, and feel like a million bucks afterwards!!

Hi ChrirsAnne. Checking out your post. I just want to say your a very pretty girl and afterward it will only be better. Sometimes we seem to judge ourselves way to hard. But in saying that, I believe in fixing things as they pop up. That way you will always look your best. Sometimes we tend to put things off and then when they are done it's such a big change it can be shocking. Your going to look Great! Plz keep us posted..
