66 Yrs and "Aging Gracefully and Thankfully" - Newport Beach, CA

Thanks to good genes, I've always looked 10 yrs younger than my real age. Still, at 66 yrs, there was some loose skin around my mouth and neck area. I never thought I would ever be bothered by the signs of aging, but I didn't like it. Do you?
I don't know how you are 'supposed' to feel at 66. I do know that I feel great; I'm a healthy, attractive, socially active, married woman. AND most importantly, science has come a long way, today we have options! If God wanted us to look droopy, he wouldn't have given us Dr. Lee and his skillful hands!
I had the surgery to lift cheeks and chin. Slept through the whole procedure even without anesthesia!
(Secret: I had minimal sleep the night before, so I was already sleepy. I recommend doing this ). Some pain the next couple of days, but nothing unbearable. I took pain pills the day of the surgery, and twice the following day. After that, Tylenol at bedtime because the head wrap was uncomfortable during sleep. Did not go out the first week because of the swelling, except for my follow-up visit with Dr. Lee. After that, I was out and about. but I did not visit with friends or family until the following week because of the swelling. (I hadn't told ANYONE that I was having the procedure done.)
I had told Dr. Lee, that I wanted a natural look; nothing extreme. I was not trying to look 40 again, and I didn't want people to whisper: "Oh, she had 'work done'"! And natural is what exactly what I got! I received comments like: "hey, you look good"! "Rested". Why confess?
Aging gracefully ? Absolutely! Thrilled that I had it done! Thank you Dr. Lee. It was an amazing experience.
