68 Year-old Arrests Aging with Lower Face and Neck Life. I've Never Been Happier!

WORTH IT

Although my procedure was 6 months ago...I decided to share it now because it has been so life-changing for me. I was growing increasingly unhappy with my sagging face, and very self-conscious with my drooping neck, so I decided to take some action. Having already visited one of many local, cosmetic doctors, and being so disappointed with how that appointment turned out, I had kind of given up hope of finding a good, reliable, (and affordable) cosmetic doctor. So, sadly, I decided I'd just have to live with my aging face. But, in early October 2016, I saw a commercial on TV of Dr. James Newlon and his practice. I was immediately interested and decided right then to look up his website. Being very impressed with his website (and Dr. Newlon's credentials), I called for an appointment right away. That's when I met Jacob, Dr. Newlon's assistant. Jacob was amazing, patiently taking time to answer all of my initial questions. (Throughout my entire process, Jacob has been wonderful!) I scheduled an appointment and went to see Dr. Newlon for a free consultation a week later. It was a pleasure meeting both Dr. Newlon and Jacob. They work amazingly together as a great team. Dr. Newlon is very professional and experienced, but also is laid-back and easy-going, which made for a comfortable environment and visit. That really calmed my nervousness. He assured me that he would be able to do a terrific job on my face, especially my neck. I was thrilled and finally full of hope. After years of being self-conscious and unhappy with my sagging jowls and neck, I now believed there really was a chance to have these aging issues addressed...and, Dr. Newlon was the perfect choice.

I cannot say enough good about Dr. Newlon! To me, he's a miracle worker! I am SO, SO pleased with my results.

Thank you! Yes, I've got the best cosmetic doctor in the world! I hope he never moves away! Ha! Am loving my new face.

You look great! Does the $5800 include everything, like the surgery room and anesthesia.

Yes, that price includes everything, however, I was not put to sleep, so there was no anesthesia. I didn't want to be put to sleep...I think it's too risky. So, I was sedated and then Dr. Newlon numbed my entire face with injections. I was very relaxed and didn't feel a thing.

I might still post my entire procedure, but just can't wait to show all of you my amazing results. I have never been happier. My doctor is the best in the world. I feel like a new person.
I am posting, again, a few pictures of me BEFORE the procedure, and then a few from AFTER the procedure. What a transformation!

Good! I am so, so happy with my results, and am excited for you. The entire process wasn't near as bad as I thought. You will be so happy, I'm sure. Just make sure you get a really, good experienced doctor. That is key.

I am now 6 months post-procedure.
Couldn't be happier.
I am going to have a total face laser (CO2) treatment next week, to get rid of my sunspots, wrinkles above my lips and lower mouth, and to even out my skin tone.
I'll be writing a separate review about that procedure.

I'm so excited for you! I will be having the same surgery sometime in the future--just can't take time off work :(

I know you'll be so happy to do it. It was the best money I've ever spent. I'm so much happier now. I only needed about 6 days to recover, then I was out and about. Good luck on your future procedure. I'm having the total facial laser (CO2) treatment done next week. Am more nervous about this than I was the face/neck lift! :)

You look fantastic! And I noticed the skin on your chest looks great as well. Was this part of the procedure? CO2 will do wonders as well. Congrats!

Thanks, momo50. No, nothing was done to my chest, but I think that the procedure on my neck must have helped tighten part of the upper chest, too. That's what I'm thinking, anyway. One way or another, I'm very pleased with how smooth that whole area is.
Yes, be sure to check back for how my CO2 treatment turns out. Am getting excited to have it done.

Thank you, suitsmefine! I sure do feel a lot more confident and better about myself. Not ready to be/look old! :)
My laser procedure is today! Might not get my review up for it right away, but will do it soon.

You look amazing! I love to read the reviews of women in their sixties as I am 63. I have wondered if I've left it too late, but from these photos I've decided it's not.
