WORTH IT$6,000
I'm a 51 yr old female.
Dr. Hankins did an outstanding job on my mini face lift !! I'm soooooooooooo happy!!!
The picture I am posting is "before" with a "3 day after surgery" pic when they were removing the dressing.
If you are thinking of having a face lift, I know it's a big decision and scary because it is YOUR face!!!
I would highly recommend Dr. Hankins. He has an office in Las Vegas, NV & Lake Havasu City, AZ
I did choose to go under anesthesia which added to my investment price.
The only problem I've had is sleeping sitting up.... because I like to sleep on my stomach. Other than that, It's a great investment!!!! So happy I did it!!!
Very little pain (if any), no infections, can hardly see the incisions, very natural looking....
I do have a ton of pictures before and after surgery. if you are interested send me a message and i'll be happy to share.
Good Luck with your procedure what ever you chose to do!!! YOU Are Worth It!!!!

I love how you refer to your facelift as an investment. I do believe that! Thank you for sharing your experience on RealSelf.

You say you're having a "crisis"? I can't really comment on whether I went through that as I haven't had my surgery yet. But I can imagine myself wondering afterwards if I really had it done. I've read the BEST facelifts are the ones that others can't tell that you've had one--you just look to them like you had a new hairstyle, or you just look "good" or/and "better"--they just can't pinpoint what. Does that make sense? You still look better. You just need to keep looking at your before pictures! I can definitely tell the difference--you look younger! Of course, I know you've had a facelift!

Sandy5220 I love you!!!! Thank you!! Actually the day before I went into surgery I had my hair color done a little different (ok it turned out a lot different), a little darker to make my highlights stand out more.....thinking ppl might say "oh that's what's different about her" mmmm I did receive a compliment tonight, well kinda sorta ... a man that is prob 100 and legally blind said I seem to never age.... haha just kidding!!! It's a Mini kinda day!!! Ya!

My face looks like your before photo. How long does the mini lift last and how bad is the down time? I'm not certain to go for a full face lift or mini . Ps you look fab!

I have some question about procedure.Did PS explain that mini facelifting lasting shorter??Reason?Ihave red about cutting extra skin with no deeper improvement ,becouse muscles staying intact.. Did you get information about procedure ??
March 27, 2015
Confusing cause I thoght that I was having a mini facelift but now I read my papers and is facelift and they adjust the muscle but is short incision not at the temple, of course include my double chin and neck, I think that I will do my upper eyes too, what the heck I am paying almost 1,000 for anesthesia , I will do another appoint to ask doctor.

Did he do a skin-only facelife or was the muscle (SMAS) pulled up as well, and was any neck work done?
