Had my eyes done (upper and lower) in 2007 and now I decided to do my face. My husband claims I don't need it along with many others. I'm told I'm aging well for the ripe young age of 68. It really doesn't matter what anyone thinks. I'm the one who has to look in the mirror everyday. It would be nice if I look a little younger, but the truth is I just want to look better. So the deed will be done on Tuesday. I pray to God that all goes well. I'll keep you posted.

I had to put other pictures on the site. My bestie said the pictures I posted doesn't look like me, and she has seen me without makeup forever. She asked me what I did to my face... how embarrassing! I don't take good pictures and I hate selfies. So here goes...

Best of luck!! I am 3 days post op and can honestly say it was so much easier of a surgery than I thought it would be. The strongest pain medicine I've taken is Tylenol. I think your reason for doing the facelift is the right one, to look better. I have always been self confident until this past year when I started feeling very self conscious about the baggy skin on my neck. I only felt really comfortable when wearing a scarf to hide it. That's pretty hard to do in the summer! So far I have no regrets about having the surgery. You are going to do great. Best wishes!

Thank you for your kind words. I'm glad to hear the surgery was easier than you thought it would be. I hope I feel the same. I felt like you about my neck and the lines at the bottom corners of my mouth. I started feeling self conscious when talking to people. 3 days post op, WOW! Who did you go to? Are you in NY? Keep me posted too on your results. Do you post? Have a quick recovery. I bet you'll look beautiful when you're all healed!

Your eyes are very pretty. Are you using the same surgeon to do your lift that did your upper/lower eyelids? Btw, you look great for being 68. Keep us posted. I think you'll get beautiful results. Take care.

One more day and a wake up...Surgery Tuesday July 5, 2016

I scheduled my face lift one year ago for July 5. The year flew by and now it's here. I planned on losing weight before this surgery, but I procrastinated thinking I had all the time in the world. Well, every time I tried to stick to a healthy diet of just eating right...I sabotaged it. I think I may have lost 5 pounds for the entire year. I'm worried that if I lose 15lbs. after the lift my face with pay the price. Maybe I'm doomed to stay at this weight. Oh well...it is what it is. It's too late to turn back now. Has anybody lost weight after their facelift and experienced their face sagging? Or a big change in their face because of the weight loss?

I hate to say it but I lost 20 lbs last year after a very sttessful separation and my face and neck suffered dearly. I ended up having a facelift at the age of 43 to remove the sagging skin so I could look my age. My doc said he did facelifts on several women my age for the same reason. Good luck tomorrow... looking forward to seeing photo updates!

Good luck. I think if you were to loose weight slowly your face would adjust. I'd ask your surgeon who has no doubt encountered your dilemma.

Hi Corsi, Got home this morning (7/6/16). Had to stay at a hotel in NY with a nurse. I must say the experience was not as bad as I was anticipating. i'm not in a lot of pain (a little soreness behind my ears and very itchy. I'm taking an antibiotic, Arnica Gel and arnica pellets both for bruising. and a stool softner. I'm taking valium for pain as I an allergic to most pain killers...valium works. Face is swollen on one side more than the other. Tomorrow I will be taking a shower to get this blood out of my hair. Had to wait 48 hours. I was told not to turn my head left or right...must move whole body side to side, don't bend down and don't talk on phone unless on loud speaker for 10 days. A lot of restrictions. I don't know why you are in so much pain. I was told there's usually not a lot of pain in face. Mostly I'm numb and skin is hard. What pain killer are you taking? Hang in there girl, it will get better, and you'll look beautiful. Keep the faith!

I feel the same way. I wanted to get to a certain weight before my surgery, but was not successful. I read that gaining or losing 10-20 lbs will make a huge difference and not in a good way. So, I feel like I am doomed to be a size 12 and not a 10.
