WORTH IT$9,500
After years of fillers and a waste-of-time-and-money Ultherapy treatment last year (I have a review of that fiasco, click here) I am having a face lift! Nek lift, lower and mid face and upper lids to be exact. I am going with my beloved PS Dr. Leonard Hochstein who did my breast lift/reduction a few years back (click here to see my review, "New Boobs This September"). Surgery is 1 week away, pre-op is Monday. Watch this space for lots more details!

Only 5 days away...
I've uploaded more before photos for documentation purposes. How did my lower face end up looking like a 70 year-old's? Unbelievable.

Did you lose a lot of weight over short period of time? I'm 47 and recently underwent a neck and lower face lift following a three-stone weight loss that left my neck looking like an accordion!

Good luck to you! We're close in age and while some felt I was "too young" for a lift I also was not happy with the direction my neck was headed -- south -- and came to the conclusion that Thermage and Ultherapy would be a waste of money and time. Keep us posted on how you're doing!!

Late 40s sounds old but if you need it you need it! I'd rather enjoy a 10 - 15 year reduction in my face NOW than in my 60s. I also had Ultherapy and it was such a waste.
My surgery is in just 4 days!!!! Wish me luck!

The aesthetician at my doctors office tried to talk me into Ultherapy too. After reading some of the reviews on here I told her to forget it. I agree with you completely. I would rather enjoy the reduction in my face NOW than in my 60's...

I think you look awesome. Really good work by your doctor. How are the sutures by your ears healing? They looked wicked awful.

All scars are invisible except for a tiny sliver where lobe meets cheek and behind my ears they are still white (but not raised). When I put my hair up I just make sure a little hair hangs out (in other words, no sever pulled-back pony tails) and I'm fine.
