Neck and Lower Face Lift 50 Yr Old

WORTH IT

I had lost weight and noticed I was getting a slight turkey neck even though the rest of my face looked ok.I knew it would just get worse so I thought a neck lift now would be enough to fight of any further gravity.
I had been to turkey before for breast uplift with a differeny company however researched this surgeon for the neck.

I did fire off a lot of questions prior to op...and he did respond. After sending my videos and photos and past history. He advised along with neck lift ..a lower face lift would support and improve look.

Day of surgery I met Dr Hakan Gundogan and he was lovely. English was excellent. He explained his process and my case and expected results. Op went fine and was in no pain. I did not wear face support as he felt i didnt needed it. I had 1 slight bruise under eye..which was from swelling as my eyes were not touched.

Its day 6 now and im still in turkey. Still no pain. I still have swelling but expecting that. Happy so far with results.

I have had check up with Dr..and he has removed drains himself, checked for nerve damage and answered all my questions. He has offered another check up prior to my flight home if needed.

Walked through scar process and healing..and what i should do.

He has asked I keep in contact with any further questions and photo updates. Honestly he was great.

My neck feels tight and im stiff turning head which is normal and should relax a bit in around 3 weeks

Its been 4 weeks since my Op..and so far everything has been going ok. I started Scar treatment at week 3 with silcone cream..twice a day..that has helped to get rid of the odd stitch left.
I still have a slight bruise under eye..
My smile is slightly wonky when i open my mouth but have been told it can take a while to go back to normal.
I do feel tighter on one side..but that could be the nerves healing at different rates.
My scars look ok..healed well but red..aware it will take time to fade. I Wear my hair down when out so no issues

Everything seems to be settling down now...my neck does get pockets of swelling 1st thing, however its mostly gone during day.
My focus has been on the scar treatment. Twice a day rubbing the silicone cream into scars.
I sometimes think I still have a little pouch under chin, which I will keep an eye on.
So far happy with results.
I am back to Gym fully now, however still not lifting as heavy as I was just yet,as i can feel my face swell if I have done a heavy session.
I have had my hair cut and coloured and haf no issues with scars..it was 8 weeks after op.
