WORTH IT$17,500
I'm scheduled November 2 for endoscopic brow, face, neck lifts, fat transfer to cheeks, marionette and nasolabial lines, laser around mouth and tweek to my crooked nose tip. I'm soaking up as much info as I'm sure everyone does.
I've had 3 consults with Dr. Bonaldi and each time he has answered all my questions and made me feel confident. I'm sure I'll come up with more!
All the women here on Real Self inspire me with their photos and daily updates. Thanks to you all!
The profile photo is me a few years ago with some photo tweaking. It's what I hope to look like after all this is over!

More background
I started out only wanting a brow lift to get rid of my 11's and horizontal line across my nose bridge. But after the first doctor consult I realized if I'm going under the knife, I might as well address it all! Eyelids hanging on my eyelashes, lateral hooding, looks of cheek plumpness, all those lines around my lips and flat lips, and the neck...how did I not notice the hanging neck puddle?
I'm 65 and retired and don't really look at my face very often. After shoulder surgery earlier this year, I realized how much I've aged!
I'm almost embarrassed now when I go out. Dodging other shoppers or doing my standard big smile and raising my eyebrows so no one notices the sag and wrinkles I see in my "resting [RS bleep]" face! UGH!
I'll post pre photos just before surgery. Can't wait.

You are so beautiful I don`t see much you would have to get done.
Make sure you check your Dr`s out not on their website but on RealSelf.
They pick what they want to show on their website. Good luck. Keep us up to date.

Sleeping arrangements
I'm scheduled for November 2nd surgery but my sleeping arrangement will be the same as for both recent shoulder surgeries. Recliner! I add a slim pillow on each side of my hips. Soft pillow behind head to keep from drifting off to the side. Water, meds, tv remote (in case I can't sleep), iPad and iPhone on side table (in case I need to wake up my guy for help). It's amazing how comfortable it has been in the past. I'm a side sleeper so this works perfect for me.

Great foresight as lots of us don't think about that until it's too late. sleepless nights are not great for recovery.

Wow! That's a brilliant idea!! I have a recliner, a cheap china-made one, I think I can make it comfortable.
How long do we have to sleep upright, do you know?

I haven't been advised on how long but I like the recliner to sleep and will be there until I feel good about sleeping in bed.
