61 years old and have researched multiple surgeons

I am 61 years old and have researched multiple surgeons before deciding on getting a facelift. On March 29 I had my facelift done by Dr. Berlett. So far I'm very excited about the results. The staff was great they answered all my questions. They gave me vitamins and supplements to take prior to my surgery. I didn't drink alcohol for two weeks and made sure my diet was healthy. Here are some pictures so far.

I was instructed to eat a good breakfast and arrived at 8:30 and was given 25 mg of Valium to take. About 30 minutes later they took me in and I received local anesthesia. The only thing that hurt were numbing injections. The was no other pain during the procedure. I had liposuction under my chin besides the lift. At noon I was on my way home. Still pretty loopy but had some pastina for lunch, first dose of prednisone and antibiotic. Took 2 gabapentin and went to sleep. WARNING: I should have also taken 2 Tylenol because I woke up an hour later in pretty bad pain under my chin where the numbness started wearing off. Once hat kicked in pain level was down to a 3-4.

Went back to the office 830 the following morning to get the compression bandage removed.Pain is managed with Tylenol and gabapentin. Pain level about 3-4. Cruising minimal swelling minimal. Ecstatic with the results so far. Berlett and the staff are really awesome. By the way I also had some juvederm around my lip line during the facelift procedure.
