52 Years Old and Needed a More Youthful Appearance - Baton Rouge, LA

I am probably as vain as you can get. I have always been comfortable with the way I looked until I turned 50. It seemed like over night I was now seeing my 93 year old mother when I looked in the mirror. I knew that at some point in my life I would need a neck lift, but I just figured I could wait until I was somewhere in my 60's. My mother's square jowls and sagging skin when I looked in the mirror was making me look far older than what I felt. I was satisfied with the rest of my face, cheeks, eyes, etc. but my neck was making me look old. Two of my sisters had a lifestyle lift in their 50's and were pleased with the results so I decided it was my time. I am 7 days out from surgery and so far so good. The pain has been minimal, but I have bruised considerably. I am swollen as well but I am sure it will all subside in the next few weeks. It is very tight under my chin which is expected and after all that is what I paid for. It has gotten better with each passing day. I know this sounds crazy but the absolute worse part to me has been wearing the head compression and sleeping in an upright position. I am so excited to see the final results over the next few months but am happy I made the decision to have it done now and not wait.
