May 20th update!
WORTH IT$22,000
I am doing great, NO MORE spitting stitches for me! Dr. Rosenberg injected the areas that were affected with (I believe) cortisone and all is well now.
I will return to his office in the next few weeks for a 6 month check up and post again at that time.
Happy Camper! :)

It's February 20th and...
I still have spitting stitches! Mind you, they aren't horrible, but they return in different places. Mostly they are very annoying, itchy and I go to Dr. Rosenberg to get them taken out.
He told me that only about 20 % of people get this lovely side effect and eventually they will either dissolve (as they were supposed to) or finish spitting out.
So.... apart from a little continual swelling under my chin and some on my neck, around ear, etc things are moving forward.
My ears are still sensitive. Even the tips of my ears (where there was no incision) feel very odd. I am certain that is normal and that all the nerves are figuring out how to realign due to the incision in front of and behind the ear.
Will update with photos in a week or so!

Hi !!
Thank you for this update, I haven' t experienced the spitting stiches ..yet ...
I am 3 weeks and 4 days post....still numb around the neck chin and the bottom of left ear ...also on my neck a little pinkish , guess all the blood reorganising stuff down there and lumps..one in particualr that ressembles a small cord running horizontally....my doctor requested a skype meeting ( which I thought was very professional of him , since i am an out -patient ) and he explained that all these concerns of mine were all normal processes of healing...Sometimes i am already so used to my new face that i have to look at the before pictures to remind me why i did this...my doctor made me laugh saying , you are already used to your new face because it is actually the old face you are used to see , not the sagging jowl face just before surgery haha !!
Anyway , glad you are doing fine , your posts are always nice to read .

Glad you are doing well! My spitting stitches continue. I HATE them! ;) Annoying, itchy little side effect . Other than that, I am also used to my new face. It' s become normal to the point where I have to ask my husband if my old face was different in terms of more droopy and saggy. My husband carefully says "yes, it very noticeably better" . ;) Makes me happy to hear that !!!!!

Hello. I was referred to and am consulting with Dr. Rosenberg for the same procedure. For me, I am concerned about the horizontal incision over the ear into the hairline. How do you find that area is looking? Is the hair loss and hairline change noticeable? Btw, thank you so much for you generative posts and photos. It has been very helpful to me so far in coming to a decision about having surgery to correct my jowls and making peace with the fact that this is the right decision for me.

The horizontal incision in what I call the 'sideburn' area is not in the least bit visible AT ALL. I do not see any hair loss there . I will post picture later but I dont know if that will be helpful since I never took a picture before in that particular area. My hair dresser definitely says no loss of hair. Hope that helps.

You look so good! I cannot believe how quickly you seem to have recuperated. You look amazing and are very VERY beautiful!!! Congratulations. I hope you are doing well and are happy with your results.

Really want to meet with Rosenberg. Everything I've read is positive. Keep wondering if it's just his great Pr team. He's more expensive but if he's worth it I'll travel. Thanks for sharing your experiences.

excellent results. Just to be sure: this was just a lower face lift + neck, right? Can you PLEASE post pics of the scars now? How long would you say they were REALLY visible? Thank you

A little over 6 weeks later
Swelling has moved downward so jawline is not quite as sharp at this point. This is all normal as swelling does move down.
Some internal stitches on scalp are coming to the surface. This is called Spitting Stitches and is normal too. Went to doctor and they just cut the ends. It just itches a little but nothing to worry about.
Behind ears still sensitive but getting better. Yesterday I had my hair colored and highlighted which did not cause me any discomfort although I have to make sure that no one touches my ears :)
Thanks! This is my latest post. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask!

Thanks for the videos they are great. You are looking terrific at 6 weeks out.

You are so utterly stunning, I love the shape of your face now. I am dreading going to the hairdressers afterwards, mine is next week, I broke it to them this week and they all said 'don't do it, that's crazy' UGH.

I'm thinking those girls are in their 20s-30s give them time and once their tight smooth skin starts going south they will think otherwise.
