WORTH IT$20,000
Had surgery to repair upper eyes and fat transfer one week ago. Used a different MD as my ps retired Glenn Jelks is terrific. It will take 3 months to see final results.

Thank you SO VERY MUCH for describing in such detail. It's so helpful as I am having mine done in just 6 days (8/21/14) and want to know what to expect.

One of my dgtrs is a trauma surgeon and the other is a physical therapist. Both of them say "You look beautiful just the way you are Mum, but we'll support you in what you choose to do." But if I die they'll be saying "I TOLD her about the risk of pulmonary embolism!" Sorry, that was a very bad joke, we are all in medical fields in the family so sometimes our "humor" is a little "dark". Already one dgtr has seen me since the TT/lipo and you can tell she is thrilled. And she came to visit while I was in the overnight recovery stay with her 11 yr old (who wants to be a doctor like her Auntie Kate.) I think they'll both be VERY glad when all the therapies are over. Me,too.

It looks GREAT! Just wondering did you need to add any filler to the cheek area?

Yes it has been one year .
So here is my update my neck is still tight and feels at times that I have a mask on. I am very happy with the results but it does take a year.my neck will be tight for a long time. It is major surgery for sure
But really worth it

Me too, Linda 1952. I expect I'll be a bit of a nuisance, altho my husband said I was great with the TT/lipo. (first few days steady use of Percocet. Then only needed at night. All of you who are ahead of me: did you have to sleep sitting up? My doc hasn't told me that (yet?)

Thanks for your update. I'm at 4.5 months and still have feeling of tightness under chin area. Left side of face feels swollen a bit. Scars don't show. You look great!

Hi, I know it’s been along time since your surgery, but was wondering if the tightness ever eased up? I am six months, post, face and neck lift, and still have significant neck tightness with choking feeling.

7 weeks out

Still have not much feeling on my cheeks and still tight around neck which is noticeable most of the time. I also just had my lower eyes done yesterday as they could not be done during the first surgery. Other than that I feel good am back to working out ( now out again for 3 weeks due to eyes) and just had a facial as my skin looked dull. She was gentle and it was a great improvement. Also had Botox a week ago on forehead where there was no lift. Overall I am very happy with the exception of the neck squeezed feeling. I still have one very light bruise on one cheek (stubborn!) but hardly noticeable. I know now that it takes about a year to notice all but happy at 7 weeks.
