58 Year Old Grandma Got a New Look! - Grand Rapids, MI

Best thing I have ever done! I had a facelift/necklift done, with the majority of the work done on my neck area. I had quite a bit of extra skin that had to be removed from my neck, and I had jowls forming on my jawline near my chin. The loose skin was ugly and I felt like it was just going to get worse as I got older. I'm not a heavy person -- I lost 25 lbs on Weight Watchers 8 years ago and have kept it off. I work out 3 times a weeks and to me my face made me look heavy. My mother has a LOT of extra skin on her neck, and I felt that genetics were not in my favor, so I chose to have the surgery. I didn't experience very much pain at all, just some discomfort, but all very manageable. NowI feel like my face and neck match the rest of my body and I don't mind having my photo taken any more! Some say I look 10 years younger and some can't tell I've had anything done. My after photo below is 2 months after surgery. I am SO pleased with the outcome of my surgery and I have to thank Dr. Alfonso for helping me feel better about my appearance. I would recommend him to anyone!

Update: I am posting a couple of additional photos to show a more dramatic view of my neck (a selfie taken with other people) and one to show a side view after photo where you can see some of the incisions. The after-procedure photo is about 2-3 days after. If you go to "Forums" on this site and go to "Would anyone be interested in sharing their experience", you will find my post detailing my procedure.
