Dr. Sasson is the very best in his field. If you want the very best and feel safe at the same time. My results are excellent and I am very happy I chose Dr. H. Sasson. I look like myself, but much more refreshed. I have not told anyone other than my husband. I get a lot of compliments on how great my skin looks. Sometimes I'll be talking to friends and they'll say you are so beautiful. I have to just look at them, say thank you. But then I'll laugh, because I'm 63!! How can one look beautiful? It's a very nice compliment. I just wanted that neck to tighten up. That was a little hard to take. I don't go around thinking, oh I'm the cats meow now. I feel like the same person. Sometimes I'll get a glimpse in the mirror and say, wow, I look good!! I guess I did this because of my age, it's the last I'd do, I would not keep going for surgeries. I wanted to feel a little more confident. I think if I had to sum it up, it was about the neck, the few wrinkles on my face weren't bothering me, I like them, when I smiled. Sometimes I'll get some stares and it's like, What??....I'm not a slim girl, kind of solid actually, I work on my weight when I'm not stressed. I have been very busy with work, I got myself down to part time now. Soon I will retire. My Dr. was awesome and I am very fortunate that I could do this. One thing I would have to say to women who consider this, is to go ahead, go for it. But I know in real life, I know that you can't really tell people of plastic surgery. I told my husband and an acquaintance because she told me of her surgery. It's a shame, because I don't want to mislead a person that there is some miracle cream that can fix aging. There is none!!! But I'm wise enough to know women....they judge you, they see you as a person that does not except the aging process, that are only into what they look like. And it's not so, I feel all of my age and think when a woman or man does this, it's about preserving. It's about trying to stay active and healthy, even in our sixties and yes, forever will women want to look nice. And any woman or man that doesn't want to look nice, does not exist.

Thank you for keeping real, I agreed with you 100%. Continue enjoying your outcome n looking forward to your retirement, best wishes. I understand perfectly about telling others. I went to a family gathering after my surgery n got slot of compliments n I later found out they were all gossiping that I probably looked so good cuz I had surgery but for me that wasn't nothing new because they always assume surgery even before. They never have the nerves to ask me just talk behind my back. My conclusions is that is envy, as they see how I maintain myself youthful by cheating the yrs! I call it loving life n looking good :-). My choice- My life.

Good for you!!! Same here. And your conclusions are right, envy!! I have sister in laws...they'll stare....like mmmmm she looks good. Then one time one stared as one was sitting down, and I walked into the room, I could see her head nodding, like she was saying in her head, "yep she did something." Ha ha...so funny. I know she's been in to plastics too. People are very predictable. I actually have fun with watching them look. One time I had Bells Palsy, my corner of my mouth drooped one Christmas. And one big mouthed lady came up to me and said, I hope you recover from the Botox. I was like: what? That's not Botox, (I never even had Botox back then, I do now for muscle spasms) I said who the heck told you that? and her eyes went right to another sister in law, I have 3 none blood related, there sitting right next to me was and she's lightly shaking her head no, at the woman!! I'm sitting right there...looking at her..does she think I'm blind?? Family...in laws are the worst!!! All my family knows, they know me. They'd love to do it, but have to many fears. My Mom and Dad, sisters were so happy for me. My kids were but afraid I was going to look different, my one daughter cried. But then when she saw me, and saw I look like myself, she was happy. Like you said, my choice, my life!!!! No ones going to tell me how I should look, dress, or wear make up. If they don't mind the aging process , wear minks, and expensive jewelry, travel, wonderful!!!! Enjoy their lives as they see fit. And I would never say anything about what they do. I'm a fan of traveling too, but just not as much. I'm very content in my community and with my husband and stay very active.

Lol, I love it, because everything you say is so true about family. I can definitely identify with you! So glad we connected in the same level. :-)....

YOU look absolutely wonderful! Many women get lifts in their 80s, & I applaud them. You most certainly look decades younger.

"As Good As It Gets"

I'm doing well, my cuts are still red by my ears and behind them. When I look down I see a little swelling, not sure if it's my outcome because I'm real close to 3 mo. post. But I have a small chin, so every tiny thing shows. I see my PS in 2 days. He knows about the left side under my chin there's a little bulging. It's where he tied the knot under my chin stitch. He said he'd fix it. We're waiting to see if it goes down. Last time I seen my PS I had a tad of filler in upper lip. The nurse said and my PS oh I'll be swollen and look like a duck for a couple of days, I'll have to stay home. Didn't happen!! I barely notice it!! It costs $650.00. I will find out how much he used. But defiantly needs more. The nurse gave me cortisone shots for the raised scars behind my ears. But on the left she broke the needle, so that's still raised more than the other side where she was able to get all of it in. No charge for that. I have photos this time. I've been very busy at my job and haven't had much time for updates. I titled it my review: Its as Good as it Gets, like the movie with Jack Nicholson and Helen Hunt, because that about sums up my photos! I'm 63!! But I think I look good, happy with my results! I probably could use a peel of some kind!! My skin gets these clear little bumps called seboric - keratosis. Not a lot, they come with age and from the sun. They're harmless but I hate them, they're rough to the touch! I get them mostly on the chest. But i figured a way to get rid of them. And I wear sun screen all the time!! I'm fair complexioned!

Hi my my friend, this is your partner in crime (lol)! I think you look wonderful!! I am not just saying it! I mean it! Absolutely wonderful! P.S. I still have uneven smile, 7 weeks postop.

Thanks my partner in crime!!! How sweet of you. Funny, I look and see blotchy red bumpy skin and not much definition in jawline. But I think it's because I really never had too much of a defined jawline. I had my PS put some filler under the corners of my mouth, it look a little better, he uses a filler that begins with a B----? I never heard of it but did find it on the internet one time. I haven't taken any photos lately, soooo busy!!! I think you just need time to heal those nerves there. I'm sorry that happened. You must be back to work, correct? Has anyone noticed, besides your daughter? I'll have to read your review to see what's new. Take care of you

You look great! Recovery really is a long process isn't it? Every time I freak out about some detail I find out that it's just part of the process. Best wishes to you!

Thanks and yes recovery is a process. I'm not thrilled with the turned down mouth, but at the same time, if that the shape of my mouth what could he do? I'll have to smile constantly. Lol!!
