It is now April and a lot has changed in the world. I hope that we can make some progress in ridding the world of the covid virus .
I am still surprised at how natural I look! The most common thing said to me is how well I look.
There is still a slight numbness in front of each ear which I know will take time to disappear. There is no trace of any scaring and I have almost forgotten that I had any surgery.

Wow! When you say numbness, is it painful too? Did they do your neck?
Hi. No pain, a bit like post dentist jab, it's almost gone now. My neck looks a little better,but I didn't have a necklift.
You look great! Re. The cost - is that dollars or pounds?
Hi. Pounds as I'm in the UK.
Fab - thought so. Thanks - doc looks like a good guy, like his work.
You look great. Really just look "fresher" which is what I would want. I think the cost at the top of the page is not correct. What would be the price for a lower face lift?
Sorry, the price is correct. Michael.
Thanks Michael. It just seems so much more reasonable than the USA costs.
Much less expensive as all done under a local.
Good to know. Thank you.

My friends are amazed that there are no scars or stitch marks

As a man of 65 I expected to look my age, but was so unhappy with looking so tired and drawn. I did some research and discovered Darryl working nearby in Worthing. So I booked a consultation and was advised about what was possible and my expectations. Risks were discussed and recovery time. I left feeling so excited and managed to book the procedure for the first week of December.The day arrived and off I went, a bit, no, very nervous! The team were so wonderful, made me feel very comfortable and relaxed. Darryl explained that it would be a painless procedure, done under local anaesthetic. To expect some bruising and swelling for a few days. Local anaesthetic was given around the area and then the lift began.I can honestly say that I felt nothing! The nurses and Darryl chatted away and 90 minutes later it was all over. I rested for a while and then returned by train to Brighton. Taking endless selfies of my new face! The first day or two I was sore, but with painkillers it was bearable. Bruising started and lasted a week to 10 days. Swelling began to disappear as well.I saw Darryl a week later, all was well. Then stitches came out, painlessly. Another follow up after a month. I've had no problems whatsoever and friends are amazed that there are no scars or stitch marks. Please consider this procedure if you just need freshening up. You won't regret it!

Thanks for sharing details of your procedure and results - it's brilliant to read how well everything went, congratulations!

Thank you Lindsey!
I don't see a before picture, but looks very natural.
Sorry, have now added a before photo.
Wow!!!!!!! So natural!
I'm supposed to have mine next week w/out general anesthesia. I'm petrified of the pain after and sleeping on my back lol.
Was it painful?
You can't with the corona all surgery cancelled
Honestly,no pain. A few days of sleeping raised,but so worth it. Good luck.
Oh Thank you. I'm so nervous. I probably won't sleep for a while as I sleep on my side/ stomach.
You are supposed to have cosmetic surgery next week during a worldwide pandemic ????? Genuine 764251 not a funny joke.
You are bound to be nervous but believe me, you feel nothing once the anaesthetic kicks in. A caesarian scares the hell out of me,not that I qualify for one!
I had to have an emergency C-Section 18 years ago! I didn't have a minute to be anxious about it and was excited to see the baby! Didn't hurt at all -just felt pulling. :)
Yes, it was cancelled.
You look very refreshed. Nice outcome.
