I was heavier when I was younger and went through menopause early. That left me with a bad combination of loss of collagen and loose skin around my neck and face. At 58, I decided it was time to do something about it. I went to see Dr. DeJoseph who recommended a mini facelift and a neck lift. I also did a laser resurfacing to remove a lot of sun damage. I was extremely happy with my procedure. My main concern going in was that it was not going to look natural. It is so natural that even just a couple of weeks post surgery, no one even knew I had anything done, but just remarked how good I looked. He is an amazing doctor.

Thank you for the additional photos. You're gorgeous and he did a great job.
I grew up at 8000ft, lots of sun damage, so I am really interested to what he could accomplish. I am assuming that the results from the laser resurfacing will only get better in the coming months. It looks so natural, just as if the clock was rolled back.

the laser resurfacing produces more collagen in the skin and that does improve the look over the first few months. To be honest, I think I will likely have another round of it in six months because it does even more the second time to get more of the sun damage off. The only down side to the procedure is that you really can't do much until you don't have to put all the ointment on. It isn't painful at all, just a nuisance in terms of being able to resume normal work life.

It makes such a huge difference, though. In six months, the first round will have really taken effect and the second will be great! I guess you can try to schedule it around a long holiday weekend.
Sun damage! If we had only known before we did it!
