Neck and Lower Face, at 67 Years Old After Losing 140 Pounds 6 Years Ago
good so far. three days post op. Outpatient, with a great view of Colorado''s Grand Valley. double teamed by docs. went fast. great nurse. Two vicodins and 3 valiums and locals. Had already had Ultherapy, worked for a while. But needed more. No pain at all during procedure. Pain next couple of days. Did not recommend ice. Absorbable suture behind ears. did SMAS. remove stitches in front of ear friday. Out patient suite attached to regional hospital. So far so good.

Amazing doc. Answered my freaked out text and reassured me from Rocky Mtn hike at 12 qm Saturday night. How is that for real country service with urban flare? I have three friends who are so impressed with his work that they have taken his information. Dr Hartshorn and Regenisis in Grand Junction , Colorado really offer big city service in a beautiful and affordable setting. Here are some pics. The profile before and after is startling. The rest are with and without wrap from days 7-10. I am living my life and enjoying myself. I had a small issue with a hematoma behind one ear which seems to be resolving (hence my texts) it is now much smaller. I get my stitches out tomorrow.

day 15
low level necrosis & hematoma behind (r) ear. Necrosis is almost gone. Still have swelling in neck behind ear but not visible because I have long hair. Had some fulid/blood drained on Thursday but it is still swollen. They tell me it is okay and will resolve. Seeing doc again in 10 days then flying to NY for HS reunion (50th) . Still very glad I did it . I like the results even if they are not all in yet. Here are some pictures from day 15 post surgery

My doctor has been very supportive along with their staff . They are rural but urban level professionals. True pleasures.

You look great! Did you Local or General A and was it a deep plane or skin lift and would you mind giving an idea of the cost please?

It was just 10 mg vicodin and one valium. it was SMAS lower face and neck. Took about 2 hours I think , and cost $5600. It was completely painless and the view out the window was beautiful. There were two doctors board certified plastic surgeons and a nurse. It was the easiest surgery I ever had. Way less painful than Ultherapy. I did not need the vicodins until later. The recovery at night sleeping on your back on a wedge is sort of painful. I used the vicodin mostly in recovery, but I didn't need them that much at all during the day. Really it is only I think something like day 17 and I am going to my HS reunion (50) on the 22nd. It was an easy thing. I wish I had done it 6 years ago when I first wanted to . It was a piece of cake.

Thank you . I am in NY now and have had tons of compliments on how it looks . My right ear is still a bit numb but no big deal . I Love ❤️ it . I am getting my dented saggy boobs done next. Same doctors . Sooooo excited . Almost 70 and my husband just divorced me and I am feeling good about the future now instead of like a discarded old bean bag
