Hard to believe surgery was 3 weeks ago yesterday! Incisions are healing nicely. Will post some close-ups soon.

Thank you! It's hard not to obsess over every teensy weensy perceived flaw but we just need to step away from the mirror and the phone/camera and focus on LIFE and our loved ones.

A Few Random Selfies

I hate selfies. I hate taking them. It's not easy to take a good selfie. I suck at taking selfies.

Thank you! I'm enjoying my results but I too have fallen victim to the Little Monster that lives in my head who says "Is there really an improvement? Is my old face coming back?" I know there is an improvement and my old face is not coming back (yet) but it's not easy to step away from the magnifying mirror!

You look great and so quickly!! I hate looking at selfies right now! I can't imagine my face looking as good as I want it to after my surgery but hoping for some relief from all the sagging and old appearing face! You certainly seem to have gotten great results! Thanks for sharing!

2017

Speaking of satisfaction, I will be going back for upper and lower Bleph in 2017. I don't "need" much. Just the tiniest bit on the upper lids and a bit on the lower. I could have done that with this surgery but I just didn't feel comfortable heaping too much healing into a single event.

I'm also going to get Botox in the 11's in about 4 weeks. I've done that off and on for awhile. They are looking especially good right now sans Botox and I'd like to stay that way!

I might consider fillers in the cheek area and lips to restore some youthful fullness, but only f I thought the result would appear completely natural. I never had especially full lips so it would probably look a little weird on me to go that route now.
