WORTH IT
I'm leaving a review as a huge thank you for those who have left reviews. The reviews on RealSelf were very informative me gave me the courage to step into my journey.I met with Dr. Suzanne Yee in December to discuss my concerns about my face. I've been going to her for many years for Botox and fillers I so enjoy her as well as her staff. I'm 52 and felt as though my face was sliding off. My upper eyelids were droopy and my jowls were more pronounced. Dr. Yee thoroughly provided all of the options for my concerns and I was ready to go. My surgery date was March 10, 2021, for lower facelift, browlift, mid-face, liposuction my jowls, and laser resurfacing. I'll have recovery photos in the next post.

I live two hours from Little Rock and stayed in a hotel until two days post op. My best friend generously cared for me. I wasn’t in much pain until bed time. My friend insisted I eat something. She picked up noodles and broth. I didn’t think I could feed myself so she helped me. My face was becoming swollen from surgery and co2 laser resurfacing. I knew this was part of the process because Dr. Yee and her staff prepared me for this process. On day 2, my eyes were swollen shut and I couldn’t see for a Couple of hours. This was brief and temporary. I wanted the Co2 laser around my eyes and lips significantly reduce fine lines and wrinkles. By day 3, the swelling reduced. Everyone I how the photos to says it looks like I was in so much pain—I wasn’t in pain. My favorite part of healing was the vinegar water soaks I performed 4 times a day on my lasered skin. It felt sooo good.

Thanks for posting your journey! Attitude is everything! You knew your outcome would be beautiful and you were 100% correct! It seems as if your whole face is lifted though you said you had a lower lift. I am planning on deep plane lift (I'm 54)and the different terms like lower lift, SMAS lift, deep plane etc.. can become confusing?! Please keep posting! It's so helpful for us "newbies" who've never had work done! You made a good decision, you look amazing and I'm sure it'll last for a long time!

These are pics at 1 & 2 weeks later. I’m loving the results. The incisions are so discrete—I can’t get over how well they are hidden! I loved the vinegar water soaks on my face for the laser resurfacing—the ultimate in self care.
