Did it!

Loved not lived. Well lived too...but fat finger typing!

Hi Torey,
Many folks have written about the challenges of posting before & after pics in order, as a consumer searching for the right practioner I believe this process on Realself needs to be improved. I enjoy this site & it has been helpful, however, I believe there is room for improvment, thx

You look so perfect. Which is the before?

So sorry that it put my one question twice. Would it be okay if I messaged you. I am 54 and I am starting to seriously think about this...You really do look fabulous. Your recovery was insanely good too. You must have good genes!

You are welcome to message me. If you want to do it, I say do it. We only get older and harder to heal so waiting just makes it harder. But I have to say, recovery from the facelift was seriously NOTHING. I was swollen and looked silly and had my head bandaged funny for a few days. But no pain, very little fatigue or after effect. One day and if I were not so ridiculous looking, I could have stepped back into.normal life without missing a beat.

Great review!- And, the part about trying to find English speakers in Ca made me laugh out loud!

I fine know how you didn't feel pain, goodness this is very painful for me. I did have pro fractional laser around mouth though and my lips are insanely swollen, hut honestly my sutures, neck, ears hurry constantly

You are beautiful! What did you mean, that you can back for a much bigger procedure? Did you do more than a facelift? Your results are stunning! I am only in my 30’s and planning ahead as you did! Hugs, Lu

Thank you! I planned my facelift between 45 and 50 - before I needed it. I think the longer term effects on aging are much more natural. So good luck!

I came back to the same doctor for tummy tuck and some lipo on the flanks. I saw the work he had done and met some of his patients and I was sold. I am currently recovering and already can see how great the results will be when the wild swelling subsides.
