These are not the official before and after from the doctor's office. They are just mine from 3 weeks out. The improvement is amazing. I really didn't take a before myself. I just found a photo from 2 years ago and cropped it.

One week out

My stitches have been removed. I'm doing great. Still some swelling in my neck but its going away quickly. I'm pretty amazed by only having to take 1 and 1/2 pain pills and only being actually down for 2 days. My incisions are healing very quickly. Not much bruising either. Dr. Reath has been wonderful.

Hope you are still doing amazingly
I can't believe how good I am doing. No swelling or soreness, incisions are healed. The results are better than I even expected. When I see Dr. Reath next week I hope to have before and after pictures. How are you doing?

I Am Having a Face and Neck Lift Tomorrow with Dr. Reath 8/14/18

I have had two consultations with Dr Reath in the last few years. He is considerate, compassionate and completely answers your questions and concerns. After saving money for years, I am a retired school teacher, tomorrow morning early, I am finally having a face and neck lift. I am very nervous and don't want to think about it. I just want to get it over with. I think everything will be fine, but I guess it is normal to worry about things like will I look fake or have odd looking ears. I will update this review when this is over. Wish me luck!

Congratulations and I hope everything went well. It takes bravery and trust. Will follow to read your updates. X
It does take a lot of courage. Thank you Wildflower. I can't believe I got the nerve to go through with it, now I don't have the nerve to look in the mirror.
Ha ha well that will change...mine is scheduled in four days I'm just tryin to keep busy......
Wildflower 111, how did your surgery go?
It went very well, I'm so pleased. :)
Good luck to you -- you are in good hands -- Dr. Reath performed my 360 Body Lift on 7/10/18 and I couldn't be more pleased -- professional - kind - compassionate - and just plain awesome -- be sure to get plenty of rest tonight -- do not fear - you are in good hands -- I believe this so much that my son is going to see Dr. Reath about his own possible surgery and you know MOMMY's are particular when it comes to their kids. AGAIN - good luck and please do keep us all posted
Wow, it was very recently that you had your make over! How are you doing, and how are you healing?
Sorry I didn’t respond sooner I actually have a full review in here. Just follow my name I think you can find Anyway I am healing well. Swelling is part of the healing process. You will be fine. Trust and don’t stress. The swelling will go down - I go back to the amazing Dr Reath and his awesome staff tomorrow for my 6 week post op appointment- hoping to be released for full workouts
I had my neck and facelift with Dr. Reath, it was in a hospital surgery center, which I think is very important. The staff at Ft. Sanders was great and everyone was comforting and supportive. The procedure its self was not bad at all. There has been little pain. I have only had 1 and 1/2 pain pills in 3 days. There is a lot of swelling though, My neck is exceptionally swollen in the front under my chin and down along the collar bone. I am worried about what my neck will look like and I am afraid to look in the mirror.
It is day 4. I have not looked in the mirror yet. I can feel that my sideburns are gone and I don't even know what to do about that. My neck is still very swollen, but it hasn't been very long. My stitches come out on Monday, so maybe then I will have pictures.
My side burns were not gone! LOL I hadn't looked in the mirror yet. Everything has gone into place very quickly.
The swelling is your body healing itself -- How did Monday go?
It went very well, I was back today just as a precaution. Swelling is going down. I'm going to look great..its only been a week. Dr. Reath couldn't be any better. I wouldn't trust anyone else. How are you?
That's awesome -- I am doing well - swelling is super annoying - lol - but heading my own advise to you and realizing I still need to pace my return to workouts - weighted lunges and squats felt great day of - next day and day after the swelling is harsh on my hips - ugh

My son has scheduled a man's version of the Muffinator and he is excited - his is in December -- my next procedure is ARM LIFT and that I just scheduled for next month - crazy and so excited -- I just love Dr. Reath and Mandy and the entire team - LIFE CHANGER for me and such a needed surgery in the next phase of my Journey
I can't believe how brave you are to go through all this. I can't wait to see the final results.
