WORTH IT
Feeling great and like all has settled down. 56.1/2 yrs old and even though the journey was long, happy to be on this end of it! It’s not for everyone, but I feel I got the natural, refreshed look I was going for.

Officially a year post op
Well, it’s been a solid year. I feel good, I will say you really need to expect change along the way for almost the whole year. Am I glad I did it, yup, we’re there hiccups, yes, was it scary, for sure. Not for everyone but if I can help someone along there way of what it is they want to do, then great!

Wow! You are still Beautiful!!! Yes, younger-looking! Enjoy
Thanks!
Outstanding! You look incredible!
Thanks!
How painful was it 1 to 10 ?
Not so painful, maybe a 5 at the worst. Pain is managed, swelling was random and harder to deal with
Thank you so much for sharing your pictures, your results are outstanding!
Thanks!
Gorgeous!
Thanks!

Before and after
Just thought I’d post this before and after. For me this is what drives at home. Glad I went through the long recovery process, I feel more like myself now and getting ready in the morning as a pleasure rather than feeling like I look sad or mad. It’s not for everyone, but I’m glad I did it. Not many people have noticed, probably a benefit doing it during a year where everybody wore masks all the time. Maybe they forgot what I looked like ha ha

You look fabulous.
Thanks!
Im looking at the post dates and am amazed at how quickly you healed. You look very beautiful!
Thanks, there are definitely ups and downs, swollen days and weird moments, but relatively quick
You look absolutely amazing , could you possibly share maybe even just privately approximately what you spent ? Please
I am wondering the same thing.
I'm getting ready to pull the trigger myself, turning 57 in May. My whole life people have told me I look 10-15 yrs younger and continuously got carded....till about 4 yrs ago. Everything has changed all of a sudden. My eyes are changing shape and the worst is my crepey neck. I'm just so scared of the what ifs. The pain, time off work, finding someone to help for first week...and $$$$. Also, no one talks about how the surgery holds up 5 yrs later. Also, there doesn't seem to be any great surgeons here in AZ. I've had subtle things done in past and most surgeons here are not to be trusted and just take your $$ and dont really care once the surgery is over. And, I cant find one that actually works on "younger" people...40-60. Only really old women who wait way too long (mostly at the advice of these surgeons) to do it. I feel like these surgeons discourage you when you're still fairly young enough to actually enjoy it and prevent it before its reeeaally bad, waiting till its really pointless because they (surgeons) feel llike if it doesn't turn out so well these patients are old enough whereby it wont make that big of a difference to them. Sad but true. Where as going out of state to places like California surgeons are working on "prevention" of aging more and have patients starting face lifts like vertical restore in late 30's sometimes. I just cant afford them ($35,000-$45000.) and traveling out of state, staying at hotels or airb&bs for recovery. Wish there were better, trustworthy plastic surgeons here.
I love that you shared so many pics almost a yr later. But, wondering if everything falls back into place a year to 5 later after all the swelling is completely gone and the pain, time and money invested is really worth it, or do you keep chasing your tail and needing to do more down the road. Any thoughts?

I have gone into this knowing I’ll probably get ten years until gravity takes hold. The aging process will continue and I’m ok with that. The things that really bothered me were the neck chin area and the heaviness and lines in my forehead. I’m preparing myself to know that the lines will come back naturally. Find a GOD surgeon with good referrals!
Wowzie! Incredible. You look amazing!
Thanks!
