WORTH IT
My experience with Dr Dean Kane was and is wonderful. His staff and office setting are great! I just had a lower facelift with neck tightening. TCA peel to eyes and mouth area. My neck is awesome my jawline unbelievable! Hugs and kisses

I feel good

So tomorrow is 2 week mark post surgery and it's been weird, boring,tight hate soft food now hahaha but my face looks amazing and I really can't believe it's only 2 weeks. I'm whinny about not being able to color my hair but I'll get over it. I'm not used to being still not inside like this that's where the boring comes from. I figured out how to do my tulip massages 6 times for s6 minutes I put a favourite song on my phone and play it twice. Come on who doesn't have a favourite song you could listen to over and over again. I hate just hate sleeping on my back so I really don't sleep more like cat naps . I can feel the middle of my face nose mouth chin but not under chin. So feel like I'm progressing like most I've read about on this site. I love my doctor, Dr Dean Kane and staff they are great!

Today is exactly 2 weeks

I met with the Dr and staff yesterday and they are very pleased with my progress. I still have uneven swelling on each side of the face which is normal or as time goes you feel like it's the new norm. The first week I didn't want to go outside I mainly cat napped and TV. The second week is when I started feeling better, I have to date not been in any pain just the numbness of the face and tight feeling are weird. Until you experience it it's hard to discribe. You do need help the first week, not supposed to bend over or put your face face down, no picking up anything, no cooking or cleaning. It was really stressed over and over that I will feel better before I'm allowed to move. The incisions won't be strong until starting 6 weeks and are at their weakest 2 1/2 weeks till about 6 so no straining is allowed
The cost was 14,700.00 + and I feel it was well worth it!!

I hope you don't mind answering this. I'm undecided about having fillers vs. Facelift. InsteAd of the invasive surgery, which you had, were fillers not recommended to you first?
You look beautiful btw!

Thank you! I've done fillers, earlier this year I did sculptra and I did love the results and will continue with that yearly. Here's what the fillers won't do make excess skin go away, extra fat go away, sagging muscles perk up-- that's why I needed a face and neck lift with the muscle tightening. I will still need fillers and peels and sunscreen to maintain what I have now.

I love the fact that you're telling us what you are and aren't allowed to do. I need to know how much time off I'll need from work.

Kudos to you for kicking the smoking habit and concentrating on your health. Your pics are awesome. Great story! I'm going to have my lower facelift in 4 days. I wondered if I would still need fillers. Thanks for the info. I've been considering doing Sculptra but decided this was a first step. Then we will see where to go from there. Hopefully nowhere for a while! :)
Thanks for sharing your review! How is your recovery going?
