I'm 47 and have been unhappy for a while about how the lower half of my face has been dragging downwards. I've always had hooded eyes and they have now drooped so they make me look tired. Hollowing under my eyes often looks like shadows in photographs making me look worn out. I'm currently not working so I think I'm going to suck it up and do this.

This is exciting! Here's a list of Facelift tips for you. I hope you'll use this space to keep us updated on your journey! I'm 47 also, and just got upper eyelid surgery. Would love the whole shebang though. Remember that we are here for you and I will be checking back in with your 'blog' here. :)

Angie, I thought of doing just the upper eyes but I figured since I'm between jobs right now I may as well do both areas. I didn't want to go thru the surgery/recovery of the eyes and then just wish I had done the lower face too.

I think that is super smart!

That's the best upper eye job I've ever seen. So natural!

Thank you (well props go to my doctor!)

thank you so much for sharing Not only you feel that way. I think most women share the same issues too. How is that scar underneath your chin. What is that for? I feel when I was less than 5 on concrete steps, so I got stiched up under the chin, except they didn't do a good job and the scar show horribly

So I've committed to this surgery on 4/20. My final consultation is 4/5 and I have hair appt 4/16 (thanks to advice on this site!) Only 1 friend near me knows about this (and I think he's not over the moon about it). I will be in hiding for a solid 2 weeks post.

My date was Tuesday. Day 4 and I'm getting my energy level and movement back. Wanting to sleep on my side which, is tough to not do. TRYING not to move my neck but that is hard. The lower half of my face and neck are pretty much yellow. Starting to feel itchy but still a lot of hardness/numbness under chin and on sides of face. Patience is not a virtue I have much of. :)

Please let us know who is your plastic surgeon. I am in NY/NJ and I am looking to have a facelift also but is hard to know where to go.

I saw Dr Robert Freund. He did a breast reduction for me years ago and so I trust him and am comfortable with him!

Thank you I went to see him and I did not decide because I did not meet anybody that had him. I was between dr. Steven Pearlman, dr. Baker and dr. Freund

Honestly, I love him and his whole staff. His staff has been with him for years and the nurse who stayed with me at the hotel post-op was an angel and had also been working for him for 11 years. She told me Dr Freund studied under Dr.Baker. He knows what he's doing.
