They say one more week for face swelling to be resolved. I feel my face is pretty much where it's going to be. My nose continues to improve. I have more good days then bad. Since I last posted, my daughter that took care of me the week after the facelift came over on Christmas day. As we were talking she asked, did you have a facial, your face is glowing and a bit red? I say "it's from the facelift and the red is the burn healing." She replied, OMG, I forgot you had a facelift." hehehe, really she is a bright girl! I also saw my sister this weekend. We haven't seen each other since the summer. I told her I had a facelift before she arrived. So sitting inches from me after dinner, she asked, "so what did he do, you look the same". I chuckled and said, you mean I spent all that money for nothing!! None of my family thinks I needed a facelift. That's very nice of them. The comments are not what I expected; I thought more people would say you look good or great but I get: something looks different or you look the same or like yourself. I think most people are amazed at the doctors work and the comments have started to give me confidence that I don't look strange or like I've had a facelift which is a good thing. The different comments I think are mostly because of my new nose. My nose seems to be improving regularly OR, I am just getting used to it. My prayers to the facelift gods to heal me well, are working. Now I just hope the hair fairy will let my hair grow back in! Happy New Year RS friends! -Poppy

You look great ! I am a little behind you. My surgery was Dec. 11. I understand the anxiety and obsessing over symmetry etc. But, you look wonderful. Happy New Year!

I am planning a face lift in march. I understand the apprehension and fear. After looking at several before and after shots, I realize how critical we are of ourselves. I think your after pictures are fabulous. I hope I will remember this comment of "crictical of self" in my post ops!!!

Hi Jenkie-I would be happy to remind you not to be critical of yourself after surgery. You clean your wounds and ice your face and try (TRY!) not to obsess too much. I guess that's a big part of post-op. Let's face it, it is our faces and there is some insecurity about how we will finally look; you just have to give it time.

you are lovely. your eyebrows need to be evened. Clinique makes a great powder with a brush as your right one starts in the middle and it distracts from your lovely face!
