Finally Decided to Go for It!!
WORTH IT$10,820
18 yrs. ago I interviewed 3 doctors for a neck lift. One had suggested I have my eyes done as well. I knew I wanted to do this but let my fear make my decision. In April of this year, I met a woman who had the exact procedures I needed. It was 3 weeks post op and she looked great. When she showed me her before picture, I was sold. I asked the name of her doctor and called for an appointment. I met the doctor April 20th and June 20th had my surgery. Next week, Thursday, staples, and stitches will be removed. I can already see the huge improvement in my neck. My eyes are purple and swollen but I know that will get better. My doctor also removed fat from my stomach to fill in the marionette lines and nasal lines on my face. Today is day 3 and I am quite swollen. Tomorrow, I plan to shower and wash my hair. I have been eating all soft foods without a problem other than not being able to open my mouth very wide. I want to fast forward a month to see how I will look and feel. I guess I just need to be patient. I will post another picture after my next doctor visit which will be one week after surgery.

Finally decided to go for it.
15 days post op, no makeup yet. Still a little swollen and numb on the sides of my face, but planning an outing for Monday and will add pictures then. I still have some scabbing which I hope is gone by then. I visit the doctor again on July 17.

Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing what I am. I had fat transferred to my cheeks and now 20 days later I am still numb but I have bumps on my cheeks that don't seem to be improving much. They are noticeable so I am not really eager to go out in public. My eyelids are still swollen but worse when I first wake up. They are also peeling skin under the bottom lid and I have small lumps in the corner where the lower lid stitches were. I see the doctor in seven days, I am hoping for some improvement by then. I am doing my best to be patient. The numbness is to be expected but the lumps are troubling. I am getting a bit anxious over it.

Thank you! It is a big improvement. I still feel like there is excess skin under my chin. I really expected a tighter, smoother appearance. Since it is only a month, when I expressed my concerns to the doctor, she said it can take up to a year for a final result. I will be leaving the area so I won't see her for at least 5 months. I guess I have to hope I see more improvement by then.

One month later
I put some makeup on and went to get a mani-pedi today. I use the same nail tech all the time. She looked at me and said you really look good today. You look younger! I said, really? She said yes, did you have something done. She really did not remark about my neck but believe me, the difference is huge. That was my main motivation.
