6 Month Update
Hello, I had a request for an updated picture of my scar under the chin; so I thought I would update with some 6 month update photos ( has been exactly 6 months today since my May 21 Lower Face/Neck surgery ). Everything is healing nicely....still feels a little tight in the neck area - but I consider that as a reminder and hope that everything is staying 'put'!! I'm sure that things have softened a bit, but overall, I'm pleased with the results, and just hope it lasts for several years. I did have a touchup with the Botox between the brows and in the crows feet area in August, but that is wearing off a bit. My PS has mentioned the Fraxel Laser treatment several times (he says that a lot of patients add that treatment about 6 months afterwards) -- but from reading some negative reviews and seeing pictures of the recovery and downtime of that procedure, that is a little scary to me -- and frankly, I think my skin looks pretty good as it is; so I am not inclined to do that at this point. I have discussed Juvaderm with the staff that does the injectables, and am considering that in the area around the mouth/chin. Does anyone have any experience with that? I really want to look as natural as possible, and don't want anything that will change that.
This site is such a wonderful resource for those that are considering any type of cosmetic procedures, and I appreciate all of you that have posted and commented. I still like to read about the experiences and results of this journey.
Blessings,
Maggie

2 Month 3 Week Update
Thought I would update with a few pictures, now that it has been 2 months and 3 weeks since surgery on 5/21/15. Everything is healing just fine. I still have some numbness in front of the ears and along the jaw line. Incision under chin is still red, but a lot smoother now.
I went to the PS's spa for a 'Hydrafacial' this week. However, no one had informed me that I needed to be off of Retin-A for a week prior to the procedure. So I will go back next week. Have any of you had a hydrafacial before? Would be interested to hear of any experiences with it. I was not familiar with it (it is complimentary after my surgery). Sounds sort of like microdermabrasion.
I still enjoy reading all the success stories on this site, and seeing the transformations. So happy for all of them.

3 Week Update
Yesterday was 3 weeks, and I saw the doctor for another post-op. There was one little stitch that was still under my chin (he missed it the first time), which he removed. He said I still had a bit of swelling in my lower cheek. Also said there are no restrictions on my activity now, and I don't have to wear the ace bandage at night anymore.
Prior to the surgery and again today, we discussed that a facelift is not able to correct nasolabial folds and the corners of the mouth. His recommendation is some filler for those areas after about 6 more weeks.
I still feel some tightness in neck and numbness in front of the ears, but feeling more and more normal. When you can go for a few hours without even thinking about having had the surgery, you know you are getting back to normal!! Best wishes to all of you in your recoveries.
