Age 38, lower face & neck lift, lower bleph - younger & more refreshed

I am a young facelift patient (38), but had loose skin around my neck and my lower face had lost a lot of volume due to a stressful few years and an autoimmune disease that resulted in my losing a lot of weight. Even as I got healthy, my face did not rebound! I tried everything from profound to C02, botox, fillers, and more, all of which helped, but I knew that to get the results I wanted I would have to have surgery. I had a rhinoplasty with Dr. Holcomb in January which I am pretty happy with, I have some scar tissue on the left side but that's not his fault and a little steroid shot once every couple of months helps that!

Anyway, I decided to invest in myself and do the lower face and lower bleph. I had had an upper bleph from another doctor in Beverly Hills, when I lived in LA. I knew that Dr. Holcomb did a lot of facelifts so I wasn't particularly worried, but I do have a daughter and a job so recovery was critical. Honestly, the experience was totally great. I look just like myself, just younger and more refreshed. I'm SO HAPPY with the way I look now. Shoutout to Dr. Holcomb and to his entire staff, Jackie, Pam, Morgan, Tina, Becki, Krissy, and anyone I am forgetting.

I am currently almost 4 weeks out. I hope to post photos when I have more time. I know I really wanted to know about recovery, so I will say that the first night is bad, the first week is tough, and you will be more and more swollen every day for the first 5-6 days. Then everything turns around and by 2 weeks I could have gone back to work, but I had 3 weeks off which was nice. By 4 weeks I am back to my regular exercise routine (maybe a little less intensity) which includes jogging, yoga, and resistance training. I can't wait for my next facelift in 10 years lol! I will definitely go back to Dr. H.
