6 Months After
WORTH IT
So, September 5 will be 6 months since my facelift, eyelid & fat transfer. I can't see much difference from the 3 month point, but I'm very happy with the results. Plan to continue the fillers above my lip & regular Botox in the 11s; otherwise my doctor would miss me, lol!

3 Months & Still Happy!
So I'm coming up on 3 months, since my surgery was March 5. Other than itchiness on my face and neck, and still a hint of a bruise on my right cheek, I'm feeling recovered. Love the results & grateful to Dr. Eric! When I look at current pictures clearly showing my "11" wrinkles, I wonder if I should have gone ahead with the brow lift, but with a very high forehead & receding hairline, I was hesitant to do it. More Botox, maybe fillers will help. Went to my 50th high school reunion & don't tell anyone, but I felt sort of sorry for those other ladies who looked so old. Nobody said a thing! Even the lady I shared a hotel room with didn't notice my scars. I have gotten pretty good at noticing who has had work done & who hasn't! I'm going to play some unusual pictures: Found some pictures of myself at 25 & thought I'd compare than with my new 67!

Has everything related to the eyes cleared up~ tightness, dryness, blurring? They look great! Just wondered if they are back to feeling like they did pre surgery. tks, grace

Still some tightness, drying, blurring, but seems to be getting a little better gradually. Thanks for asking.

really stunning. Are you using Latisse on your lashes?
June 1, 2015
Thank you. No Latisse, just a new mascara from It -has a tiny [RS bleep] on end of applicator that lines the bottom lid when you apply. Afraid to get too close on upper lids, so don't know if it works there!

You're looking great. My 3 month check up is this Wednesday, my surgery was March 6. You are one day further along in healing than me LOL. The 11's can easily be fixed with Botox if you are concerned. I have same stuff going on itchiness, sore areas, still have spots of very dry skin and puffiness on left side. All I can say is we came out the other side looking fantastic and happy with a new outlook on life. It doesn't get much better than that.
June 1, 2015
Yes we did! I've had Botox in the 11s, even got a touch-up at one of my follow-up appts. Didn't help much. Maybe I'll keep them as evidence I couldn't possibly have had any work done, lol!

You must have very strong muscles between the brows. I know a friend of mine had to have her dosage upped because the 11's kept reappearing. And of course, there is always filler. Have a good one.

Looks great! Thanks for sharing. I am having surgery on the 10th of June.

8, Weeks Later
Must have miscounted at 7 weeks, lol, 'cause it's definitely 8 Weeks on Thursday. Still have numbness & visible scars, but almost all bruising is gone. Back to the doctor tomorrow, after 3 weeks. Spent last weekend in Charleston, SC & posted a picture of my husband & me on Facebook tonight. My young friend (30) , whom I haven't seen since Christmas, commented on the picture, then texted me: "Have I missed something? You look 20 years younger." Can't bring myself to tell her the truth - I'm just too happy! (Cut hubby out of the picture & posted here.)

You're looking great and what a smile! The under chin swelling is the last to go away. I'm now massaging daily under chin because that area is swollen and lumpy. 20 years younger - have any better words ever been spoken? You saved that text right?
April 29, 2015
Thank you, and of course I'm saving the text! I feel like we've been on this road together & we're both happy campers. I expect we are both normally happy folks, though, & have reasonable expectations regarding just how much of a silk purse can be made from our raw materials! Check out my drugstore story I told dozecats!
April 29, 2015
Oh my gosh, I love the silk purse comment. I'll have to check out the drugstore story. I believe you hit it on the head, it is about attitude and realistic expections when under going PS. Next time I have another Ah Ha moment I'll invite you to dance with me.

I have been following your story and you look wonderful. Still not sure yet where to have my surgery. May not stay state side. But you look fabulous. And more important you look happy . Following your journey through this and others on realself has definitely been my , yes i'm going to do it decision. Just need to put it together...
April 29, 2015
Good for you! I have never regretted any cosmetic procedure!. When I told the CVS cashier I was shopping for my 50th high school reunion this weekend, she said, " Do you know you don't have a single wrinkle in your forehead?" I said, "Yes, I do!!!"
