Photos from 6 weeks post op.

It is now 6 weeks post op.

The swelling has gone down now and my cheeks have softened. My face now looks thinner without the swelling in the cheek area and my cheekbones look sharper. I now have more feeling in my face and my ears. There is a little mottling on my left cheek and a small dent too which I believe will disappear in the next few weeks with a little massage. I am unhappy that my neck still has some sagging skin directly under the chin which is not going to get any better. My PS says it is because of my age and the thinness of my neck skin. However, the lower bulge of my turkey neck has gone now though. I just hope my jawline remains as it is.

Day 19 post op! I am thrilled with my new face!

I had my stitches out Day 14 post op, and quite a relief to wash and brush my hair without catching the clips and stitches. My PS gave me my pre-surgery photos and how awful I looked with jowls and sagging turkey neck. He then took fresh photos at 14 days post op with my face at the same angles, and showed me the camera images. The difference is unbelievable and I was absolutely delighted with the transformation, and the brilliant surgery Mr Grover has performed on my face, especially from the profile view, which I cannot see for myself. You will notice there is no incision in front of the ear, which means no tell-tale scar - how wonderful is that!! I have been far too impatient with the swelling. Even the slight swelling under my chin has improved and will keep on improving. My husband has also remarked on how well my face now looks - praise indeed!!

Mr Rajiv Grover is the President of the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS) and works as a Consultant Plastic and Aesthetic Surgeon at the King Edward VII Hospital in central London, renowned for its Charter to serve the Royal Family, and winning awards for being the cleanest hospital in the UK with no MRSA or C.Diff infections since records began. He aims to achieve a natural look after surgery and does not promise more than it is possible to deliver, although his before and after photos show he is able to deliver a remarkable success rate with face and neck surgery. I felt very at ease with him, explaining what I wanted from a lower facelift and neck lift. He was also interested in my previous cosmetic surgeries and he also examined the scars from a previous facelift 15 years ago, and more recent rhinoplasty which was unsatisfactory. He also required to know my present health and medical history in order that he could accept me for the procedure. Mr Grover usually operates during weekdays, 5 times a week, I believe, and I was able to be fitted in for surgery a month after my consultation, the earliest date possible. Communication with both Mr Grover and his Assistant, Jacqui, was friendly and excellent, and after care was brilliant and could not have been better.
