Lower Face/neck Lift Journey...

7 & 1/2 months post Lower face and neck lift.

WORTH IT
It's been awhile since my last update, so here I am checking in to show how my results are at this point. While there has been some softening of the neck, it is far better than it was before the surgery! In addition, some softening makes it look more natural, which in my eyes, looks better than being too pulled. Hope this is helpful.

You look so lovely - plus have a very youthful glow about you. So glad you are happy with the results. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much, how very kind of you to say :)
You look great ! You looked great before also! I think you did it at the perfect time. I waited too long out of fear. Tried other things first. Tried Morpheus 8. What a disaster that was . Melted the fat in my face and left a few dents my forehead. My advice to people is just save your money on the lazers and have the facelift. You will be azed howuch it changes/improves the texture of your skin through tightening the muscles in your face. The wrinkles I had around my chin and mouth area... marionette lines etc continue to smooth out...no lasers needed.
Thank you! So true, save the money on all of that, it doesn't work, not the way a lift does. I have the same result too, my chin and mouth area, plus my crows feet are so much less!
Wow! Amazing difference. You obviously are a beautiful women;l and from the video, it shows beautiful both inside and out (great attitude, positive, realistic). Congrats on such great results and thanks for sharing your progress, very helpful.
Wow, thank you so much for such a lovely comment!
Absolutely beautiful!! May I ask your age? How much did it cost you for the procedure?
Hello, thank you. I was 54 when I had this done, it was a year ago. At the time it was 10,000, but I know it's more expensive now with my surgeon because he's not doing local IV sedation anymore. However, most other doctors of his ability are double or triple the cost.

3 months post op

Hi Everyone. Here are pictures taken at my surgeon's office 3 months post op. I have barely any makeup on so you can really see the true before and after results. Sensations are still weird, but after any surgery, it takes a long time for everything to feel normal again.

You healed amazingly. I’m about to start the process and you have given such a thorough review of the process. So informative and resourceful. Not an easy feat, but you have eased my concerns. Well done! Simply gorgeous.
Thank You so much! Good luck with your procedure and just know, the healing takes a long time. I am still experiencing lots of sensations, but it's all a part of the process.

Amazing results. Can I ask how much was this procedure?
Thank You. I had it done under local sedation in the office which lowered the cost. It was 10k.
Wow local sedation? And it wasn’t painful? I didn’t know it can be done that way. Thank you for the information.
Yes, many doctors are performing this under local in the office now.
Wow, awesome results ! Happy for you. If you don't mind me asking, what is the good age for this kind of face lift?
Thank you. Everyone is different, it really depends on what is happening with your skin, and other individual factors. Best to consult with a plastic surgeon.
Incredible results
Thank You so much!

10 weeks post lower face and neck lift.

This is at 10 weeks post lower face and neck lift. The healing continues and at this point, it's not visible that anything has been done. No visible swelling or scarring unless I point it out. A Side benefit is the reduction of Crow's Feet which was a big issue for me having such thin skin!

You look marvelous! I am at 2.5 weeks and the numbness near the sides of my face and ears is sooo strange! I truly wasn't prepared for how weird it would feel. I'm still swollen and small hematoma but feel great and hope to be where you are at 10 weeks! Thank you for the videos!
You are so welcome! The numbness takes a long long time, I still feel it, it has subsided a bit, but far from normal.As the numbness begins to subside, expect to feel it be a little needly pain like, it's sensitive. I would say it's going to be about 6 months before it feels totally normal.
Who was your plastic surgeon
Dr Ari Hyman. His link is at the bottom of my reviews. His # is +1 (818) 501-3223. Ask for Shantal and let them know you saw my review. So far someone that saw my review has already booked a lift with him as well.
How much did he charge? Where is he located??
Thank you you look fabulous I had my procedure Dec 9
I had a few issues with healing and a infection but I’m happy with the results
Oh that's great that you feel good about it. Did you have a full facelift, or lower face and neck? I was scheduled for December 9th, but the head nurse tested positive for Covid the night before so we had to reschedule. I had to have some steroid injected into some of the incisions today because I tend to have a hard time with them being puffy and red, but overall you can't see anything unless you look hard.
I had a smas lower face and neck the infection was near my left ear lobe apparently 1 percent get infection lucky me I was the one
The doctor was very attentive and continues to be and will laser the slight scar near ear
I went to Sadati in Newport Beach
