I choose Dr. Rabach because she is experienced in the deep plane facelift. A deep-plane facelift repositions the deep soft tissues of the face. It lifts the whole face, accentuating the jawline, neck and cheekbones. It produces long lasting, natural looking results, without giving you a ‘done look’. It requires less time for healing than a skin only or a standard facelift. Only a small group of highly skilled surgeons perform this procedure worldwide.

Jcnn! You are looking good already! Keep posting your pics! So you had an upper bleph and face and necklift? Kathy

You look amazing already! I love the great jawline - so smooth and natural looking. The upper lids are amazing too. Please post more 'photos when you can. Also, I live in Canada and this would be at the higher end of cosmetic fees. I think , looking at your results, well worth it. Catherine H.

What great results. You have beautiful skin and cheekbones, too. Can't wait to see your progress as the swelling resolves ...

I can believe how great you look so soon after surgery. You must not be a big bruiser. Thank you for sharing and I'll look forward to following along as you continue to recover.

Looking forward to Monday to get these stitches out! My ears were hurting yesterday, I guess from the stitches. These are my new pics. Also looking forward to putting makeup on my new face :)

I will have a revision in about a week, I had a drain the first time and it left a pouch on my neck, which is why I am having a revision. I am encouraged to see how well you look without the drain. I wear my hair short like yours so with hair styled and a little concealer on the discoloration around my ears I hope to be able to slip out on errands without looking like I was beat up! I have a 95 year old mother to take to appointments and to the grocery store a week after surgery and I am not going to tell her about the surgery so she doesn't worry. You look great!

Looks fabulous! If I may ask, did you have fillers or use botox previously? Also what is your age?
November 29, 2013
I had botox on my crows feet & the bunny lines between my eyes about 2 months ago. My forehead does not have any lines or creases. I do not have any fillers. I am 56 years old. The oily skin that I have been plagued with my life finally paid off! LOL

Happy Black Friday! Day 10

Happy Thanksgiving:) I had my stitches out on Monday and have some scabbing and dried blood along the ears and behind my ears. The one in my left ear is very painful but i think it should fall off today. I still have some bruising on my neck but it is minimal. I'm still swollen but this lessons every day too. Under my chin is very stiff and turning my head left or right with a limited amount range. This too gets better each day. Eyelids still a little sore but yesterday was the first day I put on a full face of makeup.
Thank you everyone for all of your kind comments and encouragement!

Did you have general anesthesia or conscious sedation?
December 1, 2013
I had "twilight sedation" which I guess is conscious sedation. I had to take a pill one hour to getting to the office and then I was given another pill when I go to the office. Don't remember anything else once I was laying on the table, thank goodness!

I know many surgeons use twilight... just sounds super scary to me that the patient might wake up... then again, general scares the crap out of me because maybe I won't wake up, ever, :-)

But at least you wouldn't KNOW about the later! LOL!
