It is just after 6 weeks after surgery. The swelling under my left eye is gone. I have noticed that the extra fat in my upper cheeks has really helped reduce the appearance dark circles under my eyes. I no longer need to put concealer on to hide them.

I sent you an email a few days ago, but have never received a reply. Did you get my email?

Nancy in Sydney. I am sorry I did not see your e-mail. My hubby and I were out of the country a few weeks on a Mediterranean Cruise. I think your e-mail might have been deleted by my hubby. I have changed my e-mail address. I would be happy to reply if you want to send it again. Sorry I missed the first one.

I am interested in far grafting, but I have not seen any impressive results. Do you have any before and after photos? Thank you.

Hi Misty,

I am considering having a consultation with Dr. Cruise. Can you please email me or post a picture of you BEFORE all procedures? This would be before Nov. 2009 timeframe. I just turned 50 and want to do eyelids surgery, facelift, and fat transfer to breasts. I still can't decide if I need all those things. You look wonderful now, but I'm curious about how you looked BEFORE and wonder if the differences are drastic. I also worry that I will be convinced to do more procedures than I need.

Also, do you mind telling me the costs you paid for upper & lower eyelids, facelift, and fat transfer to face? Did you do the breast implant? I want to do the fat transfer to breasts (kill 2 birds in one stone) and wonder if you had that procedure done and how much it costs?

I appreciate your valuable advice. Thanks a million.

The red marks under my left eyebrow and on my left cheek are gone. Only a little swelling remains under my left eye and it is not very noticeable.

I am now 3 weeks post surgery. I like the fullness the additional fat has added to my face. The only swelling I have notice now is on my left side under my eye. I think this might be due to the fact that I sleep on my left side.

No more bruises, but only 2 red marks are left. One under my left eyebrow and 1 on my left cheek. These aren't doing much. But I know I bruise easily. My bruises from my facelift last year took 7 weeks to go away. I know I am still healing.
