Lower facelift, upper bleph & lip lift - 57th birthday present to myself

Here is my journey to hopefully help others (plus I’m stuck in my house for two weeks and will go crazy if I have to watch one more episode of This Is Us) lol

I went to Dr Ransom for “the works” for my 57th birthday present to myself.

Right now I’m on Day 5 so I still have stitches and swelling. I’ll add pics as I go. The procedure for all three (lower facelift, upper bleph, and lip lift) took about 6-7 hours. I would’ve only needed local anesthesia if I stuck with just the lip lift and bleph. Adding the lower facelift pushed everything to a whole other level.

Day one: I didn’t have very much pain, the doctor prescribed good drugs to combat any anesthesia nauseousness. I had to wear a large bandage “helmet” with two drains attached for 24 hours. To me that was the worst part. (Awkward and I really really wanted to wash my hair)

Day 2:: The “helmet” was removed and I was upgraded to a wrap placed loosely around my head.. Better, but still no hair washing.

I get my stitches out on day 7 so I’ll update with pics then. Right now I’ll post days 1-5. Not a lot has changed, but if I look closely and squint I think I can see glimpses of what could be Debbie 2.0. Fingers crossed!

There’s still a bit of swelling under my chin and above the lip, but I’m sure that will go away. Overall I’m very happy with the natural results and the process - I didn’t even need one pain pill. I think the upper lip might be still a work in progress to even out, but I’ll have to see after the swelling totally goes down. I’m confident that Dr.Ransom can do whatever tweaking is needed then.
