I want to Just fix lower face and neck area . I feel like there is just too much skin .
I have had eyes done and a brow lift and full face lift years back when I was 43 but the lower face is just got a little excess skin and there are small pockets around sides of mouth. I am hoping this will be the tune up I need. I usually don't scare bad, bruise too much and am pretty good and bouncing back .

Just wanted to Improve
Vanity QueenJune 13, 2015
I have had other surgeries about 10 years ago and even did this mid face lift before as well as eyes and brow lift. The lower face lift did not hold so decided to try this again . As you will see in photos not terrible looking lady and have capacity to look really great. I even model for part of what I do for work. However, there are angles etc I just didn't like anymore. I did the Full on Real Facelift before where I went under general anesthesia and this time trying a simple "mini" facelift . Much less invasive and cheaper . I was a little concerned it wouldn't be enough but I was very impressed so so far and it seems like all the extra instructions and preparation make a huge difference in recovery and results... I am just now on day 4 after surgery and catching this page up. I went in on Tuesday after several days of preparation. No vitamins , alcohol, and no ibuprofen and smoking (which I don't anyway) and added vitamin C and vitamin K and started antibiotics..
Had procedure Tuesday Noon and its Saturday Noon now. I will give picture history of before up until now and the process..... Here Goes ......

Hey! You look better than Cher! And you're younger, by far!

Seriously: You have the basic proud bones, and beautiful skin. Congratulations on making a very good move.

Thank you . yes I am grateful and impressed. This Dr did a fabulous job and it turned out better than I expected. I still don't have stitches out and 100% better but I can see a huge transition. If anything I feel like I ripped the Dr off for getting such a good result for the money. He is usually $5500.00 for this as no anesthesia fees and operating room . You do a lot of self care and getting ready and after care but so worth it. It was on sale for $3900.00 . Some of best money ever spent.

You look wonderful - think you made a great choice! You are a beautiful woman, but being 51 myself, I know what you mean. Some angles - argh!!! I am thinking about this procedure. I don't want (or need) a full facelift, so maybe this is what I need. Your doc is in Phoenix? Beautiful, thanks for sharing.

Day 4 and 5 After Surgery ....
Vanity QueenJune 14, 2015
Hello
Well here are a few more from yesterday and today .
Feeling pretty good, the incisions still have pains and still wearing the head wrap they asked me to. One more all day and night of that. Been doing all they say to do. Still cant get jaw open very wide or chew so still eating soft foods. All done with steroids . Tomorrow stitches come out and just have to wear the headdress at night.
My 20 year old youngest daughter said - wow you have less wrinkles than me.
I did botox for upper forhead and around crows feet as well.

Big difference already, you look good. Please update when you can. I've had three consultations and so far - not sure who to choose. One said cheek implants would help- not doing that. The next said full face lift-might do. Today I was told a mini lift but didn't like the PS staff/office. confusing!
