WORTH IT
I want to have a long life without a long face.! I had wanted to do this for a long time. When I told my husband, he said he would find the best doctor. We went in for a free consultation and quickly made the decision to do it. I did not dream it would turn out so well. The first night was very uncomfortable but after that I began to feel better.

What a transformation! You look absolutely beautiful. No one would believe that you are 74 years old! What procedures did you have done and were any fillers used? Also, would you post the cost. Many of us who would consider a PS also would like to know what to expect as way of charges, especially if one travels to that PS.

You look amazing!!

You had wanted to do "this" for a long time. What did "this" consist of? Seems like more than a simple face lift...eyes? brow? fat/fillers? Looks great whatever it all was.

Thank you again, beautiful. Not only your overall face but your eyes and lips are so youthful, too. Youth is juicy and so are you. Did you have fat transfer to any areas?

Thank you. 50 is the new 70 they are saying. I'll take that.

Absolutely, Michael Douglas was on Jimmy Fallon and that is what he said because he just turned 70. I agree 70 is the new 50.

Thanks! I agree. Make up can only go so far. I needed the whole 9 yards. It's still new to me.

Trying to lose weight

It has been an exciting thing for me to read all the encouraging comments on this site. I have recovered from my procedures but still have numbness on the sides of my face and the top of my head. The scars around my face are all healed. Scars on my neck are sometimes tender but not painful.overall I feel I am happy with the results!

Do you plan to post the cost of everything or did you do that already somewhere in your comments. This RS format makes finding things incredibly tough~ whatever it was, it certainly seems worth it!

I chose not to disclose the price. I had so many different things done. It varies depending on how much you decide you need done. I wanted it all. Face, brow, neck. You can get a free consultation.

Thank you!

The Numbness last about a year or can. Do not lose too much weight or it will affect your beautiful new look. Thanks :)

Great! I get so many compliments. That one is SUPER!
May 12, 2015
You are going to be just fine Lovely Lady. I personally know that it takes about a year for ALL the numbness to leave. Seeing you gives so many HOPE that just maybe we do not have to look OLD and just maybe all of our results in all procedures will be as good as yours. I am very happy with mine!!! :) and when I am 74, I sure hope I look as GREAT as you :)

Oh, thank you! Make up helps a lot!!! But yes, I am amazed at the wonderful comments on this site.O had a friend that prayed for me before and during surgery that God would guide his hands. She gave me strength to go forward when I got a bit anxious about the surgery. I do feel Blessed. j

JaJ, Are you at all concerned that losing 15 lb or so would have an effect on your lower face or does weight loss not impact the lift?
User Avatar
May 15, 2015
Dr told me my neck would never return like it was previously again as I continue to age. I assume also for 15 lbs. I hope not though.
