Photos from this post stolen and used for world wide advertising facecream scam
Just letting everyone know my photos were stolen from this post and used in a world wide advertisement campaign for facecream stating you can get these results with this facecream. You can imagine my horror when I found out. This was not a one time thing. The ad has been posted all over FB and in Shape Magazine online. The ad starts out with a photo of Dr. Oz, but as you scroll down you see me and the photos from this post of my before and after mini facelift. Creams can't do that, only sagging skin being cut away.
2 weeks post op and incision sites healing
Yeah, I'm at my two week mark. No pain, just tenderness when sleeping on my sides (normal). Face is still numb (normal) but I feel a tad of improvement each day. Bruising is almost all gone but in a few places. Easily can be covered with shirt and makeup (normal). I'm very hopeful that Dr Tate is right about incisions on front of face not going to show with time without "looking for them". Still up in air about behind my ears and hairline. I'm not stressed about it like I was. I am resolved that if it shows, it shows. I still believe that each individual heals differently and I knew before hand I scar easy. That has zero to do with any doctor. I don't have full range of motion of my neck. I'm not sure if that is due to sweeping or just all that area has been pulled. I'm afraid of popping a stitch. I will talk to doctor about if I'm being over protective or if I need to do gentle stretches. My skin has slight rippling around front of left ear, but that could be swelling.
My jaw line is not as pronounced as the ones on Dr Tates web page. That may be due to swelling also. I'm crossing my fingers on it. If not, I may save up for lipo. It will have to take a back seat to the LASIK eye surgery my husband and I are starting to save for.
I had someone take my outside photos but most are a little blurred. So I took inside photos which are more clear. You can clearly see great progress in the healing.
We were with a group of 9 family members this weekend and no one noticed. If they did, they did not say anything. Overall, I'm doing a happy dance that I appear younger. The staff at Dr Tate's Medispa sent me some thank you gift cards. It's a marking thing to get hooked on their services, which would be say to do. I'm going to hold off on using them to see which service I want to invest in, be it makeup class, a snazzy skin product, or style consult. So many options.

7 days post op mini lift
Photos today look better than they did just 14 hours ago, so wanted to repost to reflect that.
With hair pulled back, you can see incision. My fear is that they don't heal like Dr Tate anticipates and they are always visible with my hair pulled back. I'm assuming this is a common emotion those with lifts feel.
Hoping that is swelling and not sagging neck and Jowls I'm seeing in today's pics. My neck line line looked better in previous photos IMHO. Dr Tate did worn to not put too much thought into final outcome this soon post op and I realize that.
Bruise around neck and eyes is a lovely shade of yellow. That's wonderful, means it's going to be gone soon.
