10 weeks check up
GermicidalApril 9, 2016
This is my final update as truly feel not really anything I can add to help,others..
Went up to London March 25th for my belated monthly check up hence was 10 weeks
Dominic was pleased with my healing
I should also add a few positives have come to fruition.. No wonky smile and less ridge
I still,get a slightly mottled bruising effect after exercise but was reassured this is abs. Normal
I still have pink scar lines but this is all par for the course
Numbness is 70% gone just feel numb at cheekbone area but still can feel slightly
Hooray can now also sleep on my side!..
but curiously months of laying upright with ridiculous amounts of pillows have set a good habit as revert to this to save scrunching my face
I will post my updated pictures..
I should just conclude after a rather up and down 'journey' my thoughts are that this was definatly a positive outcome ( although still not one person has noticed!)

The difference is subtle but shows very much more on your left profile (I had one side older than the other too).
You have gained mid-face volume and definition too and you generally look smoother which gives a more youthful appearance. [RS bleep]

Don't panic, generally it's because we sleep on one side more than the other and all that squishing into the pillow melts our face (caveat; totally not the technical explanation).

Looking much better darling girl. It's good no one has noticed....you didn't want that! No one has noticed mine either but I feel soooooo much more confident. [RS bleep]

You look so beautifully fresh faced and gorgeous, and far closer to a 30 year old than 46! No one noticing (ie commenting on the fact that you may have had surgery) is actually a huge compliment to you. You are stunningly, naturally beautiful! Well done, enjoy it! :)) [RS bleep]

What as truly lovely thing to say! 'Thank you'
I should just add I think Dominic has some knd of 'filter' on his special camera as I can assure you his photos are far different to the real thing!
Hey has any of you Bray girls' noticed this!!??

Oh I can second that. I look terrible when he uses his dementor box (aka camera)! :D You look fabulous in the flesh.
I think that having to keep a neutral expression for the photos doesn't help though...

Hi there.....I'm having my facelift with Dom on 5th July.
Been reading everyone's comments. Starting to get nervous ....even weepy...at times.
Can you explain what you mean about the camera. Does the filter make people look worse, or better?
Eek!
Are you happy now after the surgery and can you tell me anything that hasn't been covered?
Is your scarring healed and do you have full sensation in your face?
Do you have any regrets or was it well worth the cost/procedure?
Like most I'm sure, I'm needing some company/reassurance so I'd live to hear back from you.
Best
Heather

Planning to make an appointment with Dominic, so reading with interest. Your healing is amazing. How do you feel about the 'wonky' smile now, have you asked the Dr. about it? I hope you don't mind me asking, but did you also have fillers in your lips?
February 18, 2016
BTW, in the week one photos, you look so much younger already early 30's despite all the bruising, and you actually looked great for 46yo.
February 18, 2016
Ha ha no fillers in my lips ( as I was born) but did make me smile as so far not one person has commented about my facelift apart from a client asking the same question!?
Although I'm ok with that as was fearful before surgery that I would look 'done' hence no comments equates to subtle which is what I wanted :)
February 18, 2016
How lovely to have such positive feedback..'THANK YOU'
Re wonky smile it most defiantly is improving still not asymmetrical but I think once swelling abates it will return to normal (hopefully!)

thanks for posting this. is this profile scar pic at week 3 or 4? thanks! x

3 weeks and 4 days sorry about the no make up!

Just a quick update as have had a few requests to see development of healing
I did want to wait until I saw Dominic as my camera is dire!
Just a tip.. Take a photo in same mirror/light so that you can see for yourself the healing
But if it helps others .

Looking good! You are healing really quickly. How is the wonky smile, is it getting any better? Is it possible to do a close up of scars ( your hair is over them in your photo)?
Also, did you have to have someone stay with you overnight the first night - did you have a chaperone or nurse? Thanks.

Hi Eva
I had a client chaperone me back to hotel.stayed a few hours then yes alone
To be quite honest with you for the best as I really didn't want to 'feel responsible' for anyone or chat etc
You are a little 'not with it'
Would be great though if you could post maybe in another 3 months and maybe a year. People do find these posts very helpful.
