So glad I didn't back out and followed through!

ORIGINAL POST

Lower face and neck lift

WORTH IT
I had scheduled the procedure a year ahead and almost got cold feet. So glad I didn't back out and followed through!! Love the neck and jawline. Everyone at STC was super helpful and reassuring and I definitely recommend Dr. Machida.

You look great. How big is the under the chin scar? What was recovery like? Really happy it went so well!
The scar is about an inch maybe a little longer...Recovery went great. I did have some pain the first couple of days but after that it went smoothly. Swelling is mostly gone and I had no bruising. Basically I was up on my feet after the first week.
You look amazing! I am scheduling mine with Dr. Machida in May. So nervous, but ready!
I was nervous too but it was so worth it! Good luck!
Thank you!
May I ask, when did you feel good about going out in public? Did anyone notice you had it done? I realize that my close family and friends might notice something but hoping no one else really notices. (If that makes sense.)
So I felt good about going out and really showing my face (the best we can) about 10 days after the procedure...literally only my boyfriend and my closest friends could tell a little bit of a difference. I just saw some other friends for the first time in a long time and I asked them if they've noticed anything different about me and they didn't...the change is very subtle but beautiful
Okay, awesome! Thanks for sharing. This is just what I am hoping for. Not the wind blown Barbie look!
You definitely won't get the stuck in a wind tunnel look :) good luck!
Haha! Thanks!
Jessie did you ever go with dr machida? Are you happy? I would like o we more reviews. Ty
No, I had to postpone it to the Fall unfortunately.
You look amazing. What was the cost ?
Thank you !! My total was $8,250.
You look great - I'm so happy you had a great result! Your before looks like my after; this botched gal will go broke fixing my mess. A few more months and hopefully it'll be the end of this nightmare. Enjoy your lovely new look! :)
Curious if previous neck lines got smoothed out. Just got it done and it's day 4. You look Great
