Always was told I looked young for my age and have always took very good care of my skin and myself in general. Have used Retin A since my mid thirties; always use sunscreen. Have also added a derma roller, a little facial exercise, and an at home LED light to my arsenal in the last couple years. And have been using dermal filler here and there to plump out wrinkles since age 51. Have maintained stable weight (only weigh 10 lbs more than in my 20's and was kinda skinny then!) But no matter what, you can do everything "right", but gravity finally takes over. I first became aware of my falling neckline by a profile view pic taken by my sister (thanks sis! lol!) with a waddle under my chin in plain sight! Had been aware that things were a little looser than they used to be, but this turkey gobbler! Oh no! Then there were those few horrid looking down selfies than finally convinced me that the time for more extreme measures had finally arrived. I'd also realized my brows were drooping! My eyeliner barely showed anymore! ...I chose Dr. Warren as he had previously done some liposuction on my tummy/ thighs in my early 50's with excellent result. I also know 2 other women who had face lifts done by him a few years ago, and I'd liked what I'd seen--natural looking but refreshed; a better version of them. Also, his incisions are amazing. I asked my one friend if I could check out hers prior to my surgery as I was a little nervous about possible visible scars as I wear my hair up a lot. I had trouble finding any on her even under close inspection! And I can tell mine will be just as hard to find once they fade. Dr. Warren uses only sutures, not stables, which I believe probably makes a difference. And puts as many in the hairline as possible. It is not yet a month since my surgery, and I am able to wear my hair up again already with just a tiny bit of make-up over the scars. Totally not noticeable, and I am very particular. Huge improvement to my jawline, lateral brow lift has opened my eyes once again, and the turkey neck is gone! ...His office is immaculate; the staff friendly and professional. The surgery itself was done without anesthesia in his office surgical suite. Totally painless except for some slight discomfort from the numbing injections. Given xanax beforehand to relax me. Really remember almost nothing of the procedure... Also, Dr. Warren will never do anything he doesn't think you need. I had asked him if I was ready for a face lift about 5 yrs. ago, and at that time he told me that I wasn't ready. I feel he gave me an excellent price (maybe partly because I was a previous patient). And his office takes Care Credit which I used. I am convinced Dr. Warren is absolutely honest and will never perform a procedure just to make money. He is also extremely kind, caring, and listens to all concerns. Wonderful bedside manner. Very, very pleased.

You look very beautiful and amazing results. But is this a facelift? Or is this something like a lifestyle lift? You have had no swelling whatsoever. Did the dr day how long the results should last ? Thanks !
July 10, 2017
he called it a "mini lower face and mini brow" Yes it was a facelift with incisions. I did have post-op swelling--check the pics again you can see it on day 4. My PS said he also tightened the underlying muscles in my cheeks which will make the results last longer---he did not say "how long", that probably varies from person to person. A close friend of mine who he also did is still looking wonderful with only a few small changes 5 yrs after her lift. Hope this helps!

Yes this does , thank you ! One other quick q: do you any special dermaroller or LED ?Your skin is also beautiful.

The derma roller is a 1.0mm by La Fontaine Cosmetics called Derma Dream, and Thank you! I think my skin is mostly good because I don't get sun on it, and haven't since my twenties---I DO love the beach and go on it, but always with at least 50 SPF sunscreen, a sun visor, and sit under an umbrella (use fake tanning lotion or occasionally treat myself to a professional spray tan---don't like to look pasty-pale in the summer)... I still have fun--go in the water and take walks on the beach, but sit under the umbrella otherwise. Bought the roller online--use it once or twice a week---not Too aggressive with it--I get very red but the redness is gone in the morning. Forget the brand of the LED, but use that too at least once a week on average. Also brought it online.

You were pretty to begin with and now younger looking and pretty! Good for you. Where were your incisions located?
July 10, 2017
Thank you! the incisions are in front of the ears and behind the ears and in the hairline behind the ears and in the hairline for the brow lift. He uses dissolvable ones in front of the ears and they are healing great---very fine lines.

July 13, 2017

You really look great! Did you have a lower face lift?
July 14, 2017
thanks! yes, "mini" lower and "mini" lateral brow...whatever that means, lol...he tightened my neck up quite a bit. That was probably the main thing.
July 14, 2017
Thank you so much. Obviously you take good care of yourself and it shows. (Wish I had stayed out of the sun.)
