6 Months post-op

Well here I am 6 Months post-op. It has been a great experience and would recommend it highly. There is nothing like the feeling of looking 10 plus years younger. I think I look even better than I did even 10 plus years ago because I don't have the double chin that I had through my whole life. Considering there wasn't even any pain involved, or no more than a Tylenol couldn't handle, i I feel that it couldn'the have been any easier. I still say the hardest part was trying to sleep on my back for the first 3 weeks.
So as long as you do your research and get yourself a good Dr. you will have nothing to worry about and in the end will be glad you did it.
I still have some numbness but only notice when I am actually touching the areas. Scarring is almost non existent, only with a magnifying mirror can I even see a trace and even that i know will only improve. The only issue I still really have is my smokers lines above my upper lip and I am not a fan of how botox looks so I will have to look into it to see what options are available.
I probably won't check in again before it is 1 year so good luck to all of you who have decided to go ahead with the procedure, I know you will be fine.

6 Months post-op


3 month

Well I am now at 3 months post op. I can hardly see the scars even with a magnifying mirror, I feel great and the surgery feels like a distant memory. The scars behind my ears are a little more visible but nothing that anyone can see. The scar under my chin is fading more and more every day also. My husband regularly remarks on how open my eyes look from the brow lift so I am especially glad that I decided to include that with my face lift and my jaw and neck area looks better than it ever has, as I always had a double chin.

I still have numbness by my ears, jaw line, top of my head etc. as in the begining but just less so. I am only aware of it if I am touching those areas otherwise I don't think about it or feel anything different than normal . Swelling of course has continued to go down to the point were it seems it is next to almost nothing. I know there is still some there but not that anyone would notice. They say at 6 months it is 80-90 percent gone. I am only at 3 months and can only tell there is swelling by feel not really by sight but then I guess I am use to it. The fat transfers have gone down some which is expected but still look good. My smokers lines are less obvious but are still there and could use something, although I am not sure what, to improve them further. All in all I couldn't be much happier with the results. Do not look done or obvious in my mind. So far the people I regularly see have not said anything. I only saw a very few people though after surgery before heading south for the winter so the real test will be in the Spring when I return. I will update again at 6 month.

I have only seen the Dr. once but have done lots of research on the Dr. and his clinic and feel I have chosen wisely. He performs a facelift procedure approx. once per week and feel confident that his experience with this procedure will give me the results that I am looking for. At 3 months post open I am very sure I picked the right Dr., I couldn't be happier with the results!
