First trip to hairdresser post-op

WORTH IT
Yesterday I got my hair cut and colored...finally!! I have to tell you all, it was the first time in years that I looked in his mirror and didn't flinch (and cry & scream a little inside, OK a LOT inside!;) What a journey! Thank you all for your support and for sharing your stories...they have truly helped me as I wrestled with nerves before the surgery and as I've progressed down the post-surgical road!

8 week mark!
AliceCooperFebruary 20, 2015
Feeling great after 8 weeks! I saw Dr. Romo today and things are healing and progressing nicely. It's always a pleasure to see him and his staff, and I continue to highly recommend him for ANYone considering anything facial...I couldn't be happier with my results and patient care! I turn 50 in five months and I'm looking forward to it now (although I'm NOT looking forward to my son turning 30 the month after!). I haven't had my hair cut or colored since a week before the FL...can't wait until Saturday for that. Now to just get back to the exercising! ;)

That's what the doc told me...nice to hear it from someone who has been there...thanks! :)

Oh and yes --- what a great feeling to finally be able to get color!!!!

You look gorgeous! Unbelievably fabulous result, you must be thrilled! I just compared your 'before' with these, and O M G, congrats my friend, you hit the jackpot! SO happy for you :)
February 20, 2015
Thanks SO much! Yes...I put the before and after next to each other, and WOW! Thrilled is an understatement! :)

PS (lol) had to comment on your gorgeous lips! They are beautiful. Alas, I'm a lipless wonder, don't make me mad they disappear lmao... you are stunning!
February 20, 2015
Thanks...those lips are all mine! The top lip is slowly disappearing, which doesn't make me happy. Before the FL I would get Botox injections that would raise the top lip up a bit to give it a fuller look. I'm thinking of a tad bit of filler...but not blow fish lips! ;)

Are you still happy with the result? I'm thinking of getting a tad bit of filler...emphasis on TAD...in my upper lip. I've heard (and seen) it's quite painful. Slice me open, do anything while I'm asleep or completely numb, but needle of any kind in the lip is painful!

30 days post
Day 30...woo-hoo!
AliceCooperJanuary 24, 2015
Healing continues to be going well...swelling and bruising decreasing while range of motion is increasing and stiffness is lessening. Feeling better by the day! Had a few "stubborn" bruises that just didn't seem to be going away. Had a check up with Dr. Romo III on Monday and began taking RAC, which is part of his Rapid Recovery plan. I feel amazing and the "stubborn" bruises are gone. THRILLED!!! :)

Love the new look. Thanks for sharing your experience and pictures, they are very helpful. It doesn't seem like you bruised as badly as some of the pics that I have seen. What kind of facelift did you have? Also, what is the RAC that you were taking.

Thank you! Below is a link to Dr. Romo's website for information on RAC. You can also click on a link there that will give you more information about the product.

Wow -- day 30 -- how exciting -- I remember my 30 days saying "ok" worse is over -- and it was - but now you will see that down the line even farther -- "man" it just gets better --- I think I took a picture at 30 day a profile photo and I thought this is good - nice neck line -- now almost 12 months "no this is Good" :)
January 30, 2015
Excellent to hear...thanks for sharing...it's been six more days and you're right...every week is better! :)
January 24, 2015
What is RAC? You look great! I felt the same way at Day 30 - that is when I felt the initial healing was complete, too.

What type of plastic surgery did you have? Did he do the eyes? Is RAC a vitamin? What is it made of ? I couldn't tap on the link below.
Thank you!
