Lower Face and Neck Lift. Excellent Experience

WORTH IT
I am aged 44 but had been unhappy for some time regarding my neck and jowls. It made it worse by knowing the turkey neck ran in my family so I knew it was only going to get worse.
I chose my surgeon Dr Lam as he did my upper eye lift last year which gave me excellent results so I had confidence in him. He explained that I was a little young and could wait few more years but could see the areas I was concerned with. I had the surgery 4 weeks ago and I feel 100% back to normal. I was never in any pain, it just felt tender and uncomfortable with the tight band for a week a so. Ice packs really helped. I work from home so just had a full week off doing absolutely nothing except eating and sleeping. The next week when I returned to work I just kept my camera off for meetings for another week. I only had slight bruising on the side of my face and neck which was easily covered by my hair and a scarf. I am now 4 weeks post op and feel 100%, I just have a few very pale yellow bruises which are easily covered with make up. I was worried about scarring around my ears but they have already faded and healed very well, and are hidden in my hair so I am sure they will be barely noticeable in another feed weeks. I am happy with the results. I have my jaw line back and look really natural. I don’t look dramatic or scary, just refreshed which I was worried about. My surgeon was very happy last week at my 3 week post op check. I believe my recovery was really helped by taking arnica tablets before and after plus eating lots of protein. My advice is to relax and enjoy the pampering and rest. I will post more pics in 2 months after my 3 month post op consultation with my surgeon. Any questions please let me know.

I feel 100% back to normal now. Bruising has all gone and scars are healing well . Scars can still feel a little tender and tight sometimes but I am massaging them with E45 cream 3 times a day which has really helped. I think I am still a little puffy under my chin though.
I sometimes wish that the result was a little tighter however I did not want to look unnaturally. I have started to feel like I cannot remember what I looked like before so it’s difficult to appreciate the difference, however I am still 100% happy that I did it. I have my 3 month post op with my surgeon at the beginning of December so will update further then x
