36, Having a Mini Mak Lift at Complete Laser Clinic in Nebo, NC - Nebo, NC

3 weeks post op

WORTH IT$3,500
I know one of the big things people worry about with this surgery is the visible scarring around the ears, so here are some 3 week post op photos.

It feels like all of the stitches have dissolved. I was a little worried when it started happening because I had a few lumps form under my skin, but I called the Dr's office and they explained that this was normal. They were small, just a little larger than a grain of rice.

I have resumed all of my normal activities. I wear sunscreen anytime I leave the house.

Once again, I need to brag about Complete Laser Clinic. I live out of state so I can't exactly drop everything and run to the office if I have a problem. When I started freaking out about the lumps in my neck, it only took one phone call to get in touch with someone (Jennifer). She very patiently listened while I had a good old fashioned freak out, and then told me she would talk to the Dr. and call me back in 10 minutes. 8 minutes later, she was on the phone with me again with answers. It is a very big deal to me that I didn't need to wait around all day for someone to help me.

week 1 done

Things are continuing to heal quickly. I am thrilled with the results so far. My ears are still tender. I saw a side by side pic of me today and a week ago and can't believe the difference.

you look awesome!!!! Did he do a SMAS lift?
Yes, pretty much, but he calls it something different. I love the results.
Would you share some "now" pics?
You look totally amazing. Your confidence level must be through the roof! Congratulations. Happy for you. I hope my outcome is half as good
You look fabulous! What a beautiful result! I am very excited to have my lower neck/face lift now. I have been flip-flopping because of my fear of how much pain or scarring could result. July 28 is my date. Thank you for sharing your story and pictures!
AMAZING, you are so BRAVE.
You look so good!

Day 6.

I drove back to Atlanta today. My neck is a little sore but nothing terrible. My neck looks like I have jaundice. I shouldn't complain, I had absolutely no bruising on my face.
