Neck lift
WORTH IT
Hi from scorching Cardiff! I've had a couple of people ask if my neck lift has dropped. Here's a one year untouched photo. As you can see other then me gaining a couple of kilos my face is still as good as when it was first done!!!
Why would it droop? It's all been tucked away!!!!

One year update written!
So having finally managed to upload a video I've no idea why my face is frozen in such a weird position.
Anyhow.
A year after my op I'm shocked when I see photos of what I looked like before. I hadn't realised I wore so much make up to hide the wrinkles.
At age 53 I used to catch sight of myself in shop windows & not recognise who I saw. I used to hate the close up photos I had to send in to work. Now I take selfies & not think about it. My op made me walk taller by giving me confidence.
My recovery was swift. I was back at work relatively quickly with the last of the bruising going by week 3/4. The swelling lasted longer the numbness lasted almost 6/8 months. The only feeling I can equate it to is having a giant plaster on the side of your face. I didn't really tell anybody about my op apart from certain people who asked me point blank! I also made the mistake of telling my sister in law who then told everyone. Nasty!
I'm so pleased I had it done. I'm even more pleased I spent a long time researching to find the right surgeon for me.
You did a great job mr B! Thank you!!!

Your detailed experience and thoughtful commentary were so inspiring to watch and read. You look beautiful and you seem like such a lovely person to top it all off. Very best to you and thanks again for sharing this.

Thank you, reading others experiences helped me so much. I used to scour posts for useful information on all sorts. If my posts help others then I'm pleased!x

you look lovely, can I ask you if your neck has dropped at all since you had it done?
June 20, 2017
Gosh no, not at all!
It's been lifted , there's a scar in my lower hairline. I do look after it now with factor 30/50 same as my face! It shouldn't drop if the surgeon does a good job, the excess skin is gone. Xx

Are you still happy with you're results?? Any pics ? Love to see you're results a year on... Hope all is still holding up well for you X

I'm also pleased - I do have slightly uneven brows from the lift but Dominic is going to address this. My only concern is that I have had hair loss particularly on one side. Luckily I have/had thick hair but I don't like it! Have you noticed this at all?
May 21, 2017
Mm definetly no hair loss! Can't Understand how that's happened to you, it can't be face lift related. Possibly hormonal? My hair grew around the scars which you can only really see if my hair is scraped back tight.
Hope you're well.x

Chelmer! I followed your complete journey. I would love to read your update as well. Please do. ♥

Hello and thank you for sharing your journey.
I am due to see Dominic in September the nerves are kicking in.
I work in sales and every day I get up and look at myself and think I don't want to change myself I just want to brighten up what I have.
I am currently going through the stages of what if it goes wrong or I look odd.
I look at you and would never know I just see a woman who looks great actually fantastic for her age.
I will document my journey so others can see.
Thank you again reading your posts made me find Dominic.
Thanks
Jenny

Jenny , having a facelift is unbelievably stressful. There are so many doubts. You sit there & think 'why can't I grow old like everyone else' but all you see is someone you don't recognise in the mirror. The most important thing is to find the surgeon you trust , who inspires confidence in you & trust that he will do his magic. After all it's your face!! I understand, everyone who's had the surgery will . Have faith , it'll be worth it. There s a lot of us here to see you through.
Are you having your consultation or op in sept ? X

Thank you for responding.
Consultation is September op in December so I get as much downtime as possible before going back to work. I can work from home for a small amount of time so should get about 5 weeks recovery.
The worst part for me is catching a glimpse when wondering past a shop window and catching a glimpse I do not recognise myself I gasp some days.
The worst time is when I think I look pretty good and bam I get this glimpse and it just wipes me out.
I do think why I cannot just not except myself for me getting old am I just very vain ?
I am not doing this for anyone else except me I know that 100%.
Anyway I am looking forward to September and I am due to give Yvonne tomorrow.
Keep you updated and thanks again
