Age 57 Lower Facelift with the Amazing Dr Smoot

I am at 9 months post up, and would still recommend this surgery. I have received many compliments from my friends who know about my surgery on how well it turned out. I am very happy with the results and how natural the surgery turned out. Pre-surgery, my biggest concern was the scars by my ears. They are just barely visible at the very of the ears if you look closely. I am comfortable wearing my hair back or tucked behind my ears and am not self conscious about what little of the scar does show. I did end up getting some v-beam lasers on the scars to help them heal a bit more. All the feeling is back in the sides of my face and my eyelids. Every once is a while, just on the left side, I can feel a little dissolvable stitch come to the surface but I can scrub it off. I don't know how to describe it, but you can feel it under the skin a bit and then it goes away once it breaks the surface. I haven't had any complications or things I'm disappointed about 9 mos out.

It's been six months since my lower facelift with upper blepharoplasty and fat transfer. I could not be happier with the results from my lower facelift. If you are on the fence, I would recommend this procedure. I went to Palm Springs for a girls getaway last weekend (lots of sunscreen!) and my friends said I was "glowing". I am so happy not to look tired all the time. Although I didn't have a neck lift (I'm saving that for the future) my jawline looks much improved as do my eyes. My scars, while slightly visible at the tops of my ears, don't keep me from wearing my hair back or pulling it into a ponytail, they are very light and barely noticeable.

I am now 19 weeks post op. I had a Halo laser treatment a few weeks ago as a final touch to even out my sunspots and sun damage. I am so happy with my lower facelift. I feel like I no longer look tired all the time. My eyelids are no longer numb, and most of the feeling on the sides of my face has returned. Since I chose a conservative lower lift, I know there will be more surgery in my future, but I prefer to do just small steps at at time. I am so happy I had this surgery!
