Time to Look As Good As I Feel and Ready to Hit 60 Head-on!! Neck Lift, Brow Lift and Facelift Should Help!! - Oklahoma City

In many ways it's hard to believe it's already been six weeks since my FL and NL! Anyway, went for my six week post op visit yesterday and nothing really to talk about as it was pretty uneventful...a good thing in the world of plastic surgery! I was supposed to get Botox above my eyebrows and crow's feet, but he was very busy and I opted to return in three weeks for that and I feel like by then it may be more beneficial since there will have been more settling occur. I'm still pretty tight in my neck and some days it almost feels like I'm wearing a turtleneck sweater or have a scarf tied around my throat, but I'm sure that feeling will dissipate over time. I think I still have a tiny amount of swelling, my ears still feel a bit weird and it is still uncomfortable to try to sleep on either side, but by and large this has been a pretty easy ride and for that I am eternally grateful!! I certainly have no regrets and no horror stories, so I feel like I'm batting a thousand, even if I don't look 20 years younger, I certainly feel I look closer to my age than I did pre-surgery and that was my biggest desire. Here are a few current photos :)

I didn't realize it has been a couple weeks since I updated...time flies when you're having fun, I guess!!
Today I am THANKFUL for the opportunity to have had my surgery and for the healing process to have gone so smoothly. I have honestly had no problems whatsoever and had the most minimal of bruising and swelling. I went for my three week postop visit yesterday and received a glowing report from my PS! I'm going back in three weeks for a little Botox above the outside corner of my eyebrows. Seems I'm a bit hyperactive there :). Today I am THANKFUL that I can now move my neck in any direction with no worry of doing any damage! Things are still quite tight, but a little less so each day. Today I am THANKFUL for my results in that I feel the goal was achieved to look my age and no longer feel that I look 10-15 years older than I am. I was never hoping to look twenty years younger (although I wouldn't have complained)!! Today I am THANKFUL for my family, my friends and ALL of your wonderful ladies here on RS!!

Because of my naturally curly hair being all wadded up under that glamorous head bandage, I got all dressed up with a headscarf and dark shades and went to the doctor for my one week postop visit yesterday and he was very pleased with the way I'm healing. Suture sites look great and I just need to keep them slathered in bicatracin for another week, but got to lose the head wrap!! Sweet relief! Still need to take it easy for the next couple of weeks. Shampooed my hair and let it just hang and air dry as soon as I got home...it's the little things!! Slept in the bed for the first time last night with an extra pillow and no problems...I'm a side sleeper, but I guess I willed myself to lie perfectly still last night!! My biggest issue right now is dry eyes!! I'm using ointment at night and drops in the day as though I have stock in the company! This, too, shall pass!

Planning to make my first public appearance tomorrow evening at my grandson's basketball game if I can get the hair to cooperate...wish me luck!!
