Hello, Looking forward to my procedure on April...
WORTH IT
Hello,
Looking forward to my procedure on April 21st..didn't realize when scheduling that I scheduled on my birthday..I guess a rebirth on my birthday ????.
April 9th Pre-op with nurse and Dr. Stanley Jacobs.
If anyone has any info I should ask at my pre-op please let me know..
I'm 48 years old and realizing that there is a shift in my appearance. Even thou it's subtle I look in the mirror and see the changes and I'm at the best age to have the mini lift procedure done and hopefully it will give me significant time 7-8 years of looking good that by the time I'm 57 I'll age gracefully. I look forward to sharing this journey with all of you and please let me know any thoughts or helpful hints to manage my recovery..Thanks!

I was looking at your photos and comparing the before and the after. You look about 15 years younger, really!

Pre-Op update
Pre-op went very well, a bit overwhelming but very informative..brought a friend with me so there were more ears to listen. Many things to read. Prescriptions to fill. Had a EKG, vitals. Had the elasticity measured in my skin. Met with Dr Jacobs to go over an questions. Surgery will take aproximately 2 hours, under twighlight sedation. The great thing is for one year Dr. Jacobs will monitor my skin, and included in my package I will have 3 mini peels, micro dermabrasion and all skincare line.
I'm getting nervous but know I'll be extremely happy with the outcome. The photo I've included is from their office. You can see the difference in side by side what I currently look like to what I will look like..

Good luck. I know you must be feeling anxious. I'm not familiar with the mini lift. What exactly will dr Jacobs address with the lift portion? I am researching what I'll have done this August, so I'm curious to hear for that reason as well.

Hi,
The mini lift isn't as invasive as a full face lift..it focuses mainly on lifting the jowl and a bit of the neck lifting..he will suture the inside between the cheek and jowl area back..and also make an incision under my chin for a little lipo. Dr Jacobs is consider one of the best for the mini/vector lift. His specialty is doing a TCA peel along with the mini lift to get the best achieved look together and healing time is together instead of going in for one then in a couple months getting the other what most do..this site is quite helpful but can also be overwhelming to..just do your research and ask lots of questions..

Thanks for the replies..The vector lift is more of a natural face lift. The facial technique tightens the facial tissue covering underlying muscle in multiple directions or vectors which counteracts the sagging and laxity that occurs while we age.
I need what you are having! Thank you for starting your story and please let us know how it all goes! You might want to check out this post about "What I Wish I knew" before a facelift.
