6 month update

WORTH IT$13,500
It is 6 month since I did face and neck. I am happy and feel that I look good for 59 year old. I never hoped to look 35 but just want to look myself without wrinkles and turkey neck. I still 85% numb around ears and under chin. I also feel little numbness in my eyes but it's nothing to be worry or uncomfortable at all. I may do fat injections before it's expires in 6 month since I have it frozen and don't want to miss that option. I uploaded pictures without make up and just with lipstick. I am happy it's done and I still think my PS is good and honest and delivers what promised. My experience was easy and just as expected.

Thanks for your excellent review! You look marvelous!

You look great! A little surprised that you are 85% numb around your ears and under your chin at 6 months, but everyone is different. I have had a similar procedure (love my result) but agree the reinnervation part of healing is interesting. :)

Did you decide to do the fat injections? I'm considering it.
July 27, 2017
Yes I did it and I am happy. I had added more fat 7 month later and I was glad I had fat stored for future. I still have enough for adding more and will do it before one year. After year fat is no good to use. I believe in adding a little at a time then do too much. I have very natural results for my age.

It's two month since my surgery. Feel good and look ok and totally normal. Still numb around temples, ears and under chin but it's not bothering me. So glad I did it. Just went on vacation and nobody can tell that I did something - very natural results.

You look wonderful. Very natural and not 'done'. Thanks so much for sharing your story - the good and the bad!. I'm getting the works done on the 16 May, 2017. Wish me luck.

Good luck and remember that you have to be patient. I am 3 months after procedure and still recovering - I gained about 80% of feeling in my face but my neck and temples and around my ears are back about 50%. When someone tells you that you can go back to work in 2 weeks its true but they way you look and how you feel is real different. My dr told me that I will be able to judge full results after 6 months.

Thanks for the advice. I'm taking six blissful weeks off. It's getting really close now! I hope you are continuing to recover well :)

This is good - 6 weeks is great time for recovery. I am 4 and half month after and I am still numb around ears and temples and under chin. Numbness is about 50% gone there. I am planning to add more fat to my face next month around lips and all over the face a little and under eyes. My dr froze fat during surgery to be added as needed. And now since most of my swelling gone I am using fat as filers. I have very natural results and I don't mind anyone saying nothing. I know some ladies dissapointed that no one notice difference but I did it for myself and I like how I look. I did not want people to see I did something.

Nothing new and some areas still very numb. Scars are getting better and neck turning good in all directions.
