WORTH IT$5,500
Hi i had a mini facelift 5 days ago. I am very happy with the results, i have had little bruising, slight swelling and obvious tightness of skin. I love the way i look at the moment and hoping it does not look too different when all the swelling and tightness goes down. I am feeling quite tired, but luckily i'm being looked after, so have a full week just to doss about :) would love to hear from others who have recently gone through the procedure. I'm not quite sure what type of facelift i had, but i know he pulled up the deep and superficial muscles and slightly tightened my skin back, My turkey neck and sagging jowls have gone, my cheeks were sunken in, but are now fuller and my cheeks appear higher. If anyone could tell me what this kind of facelift is called id be most grateful, i went under general anesthetic and the op took around 4 hours x

Hi just a little update to say that i am all back to normal at 3 weeks and hoping to post the most recent photo, if i can find out how to do it on this :) but it was a breeze really after the first week of tiredness and numbness, highly recommended by me :)

Hi, You look fantastic! Which clinic did you use? And did you need a general anaesthetic? I'm frantically searching surgerys throughout the UK for ones that'll do the procedure with a local. So far the only one I've found is the ME clinic in Bristol (I'm in Derbyshire, a bit far to travel).

Hi Steph, yeah i had a general i'm afraid. I used the spire clinic, which are available in a few cities, if you give them a ring, they may do the local. Good luck :)

Hi, just wondering how you are doing after your surgery, was it worth it in the end!

Hi Suze, sorry for the late reply. Yes, it has definitely been worth it for me. I will try to post a more recent picture. I sometimes think i'm looking a bit old, but then when I look at those previous pictures before the lift, I can really tell i'm not back to that stage yet :)

Hi Suze, yes I think it was worth it, i'm now just two years post op and I don't think i've got back to where i was and thinking of having a upper facelift next.

Thanks for getting back to me! I spoke to Mr Hayter today. I think I'm going to go ahead (your photos and comments really made my mind up for me, although Mr. Hayter was great, really reassuring). He offers twilight anaesthetic which doesn't sound too bad (less terrifying than general).
Thanks for your comments. I'm actually quite looking forward to it!

Hi Steph, Ohhh i'm so pleased for you, you will be delighted with the results, he is a great surgeon, IMO and very professional. I am totally back to normal now and there is no lumps or bumps or any numbness left. I hope it goes really well for you and be sure to post your before and after pics, if possible :) good luck.

Hi minifacesan, I'm very interested in your procedure, you look great, i had a one stitch facelift 2 years ago under local anaesthetic, but feel like my jowls and lines are back.
your results look great straight away, can you let me know which surgeon and clinic you used & cost if you don't mind please, many thanks Kayla

Hi all, thank you all for the comments and interest in my post. I just thought I would give an update because I know people are still viewing the post and would probably like to know how it's doing. I think all the numbness went totally about 3 months after the operation and there was no concerns at all and i'm still happy I had the procedure done. Although, thinking of a upper face lift will be in order soon :/

Thanks for sharing this it's very helpful to those of us thinking of doing similar, possibly with the same doc as I'm in the UK.
How do you feel about your scars now? are they visible when wearing your hair up?
You look fantastic by the way :-)

The scars around my ears are still slightly visible on one side. I did pick them quite badly though (in the car on the way home).Apart from that they're not too bad. I don 't like tying my hair back, I'm worried people might see them.
