WORTH IT$10,500
My eyes were swollen shut for 2 days, but I was amazed at how little pain there was. You can see from the picture taken at Christmas how fast healing is. I followed all the rules, did nothing but rest, lay in bed, read and watch TV...no bending, lifting, housework, etc.

I had just turned 60 and although most people said I didn't look my age, my face & eyes were really drooping. I grew up in the 70's - we loved dark tans, so I spent a lot of time at the pool covered in baby oil & iodine. In my early 20's I did get serious about good sunscreens and hats to protect my face, but I still could see a significant change in elasticity from 50 to 60 years of age. I taught aerobics for 15 years and I know exercise helped me maintain a youthful look. I don't consider myself vain or narssacistic about my appearance, so I my goal wasn't to look 20 years younger, I just wanted to look good for a 60-year old woman.

You look great and not for a 60 year old woman. Let's go for 45. How did you manage aftercare and the drive to and from surgery - a friend? Are you willing to post a before picture?

yes of course I'll post before pictures, both of my sisters decided to have surgery too, so Lisa (52) actually went first (due to a cancellation in PS schedule. I drove her, we spent the night before surgery, and 2 days after (we got very reduced rates) and the hotel was 5 minutes from his office, drains are removed the next day. We spent another night at the hotel, I kept a journal to track pain meds, had crackers, bananas, pineapple juice to ensure no nausea. Then 4 weeks later, my surgery, my older sister Karen (62) drove me and we followed the same routine. We each had slightly different procedures, Lisa had face & neck & brow lift - Karen had face, neck, and lower eyes, I had face, neck, liposuction to remove fat pocket under my chin, upper & lower eyes.

You look wonderful, very youthful and I agree, elasticity just takes a nose dive after 50.

Thank you so much, I'm very satisfied and so glad I did it. The only other procedure I plan on having is a medium depth facial peel to improve Eliminate sun damage and improve my overall skin texture.

you look great! I am getting a brow, face and neck lift. I am worried about the scars and swelling. I am taking two weeks off from work to recover. We're you able to go in public after two weeks?

I had a death in the family and had to attend a funeral, my face was still puffy, but I wore shade when outside and when we were inside no one really paid attention to me because of the circumstances. I've used bio-oil and massaged my the only scar which was visable (which was under my chin. I'm very pleased and at 61 years of age couldn't be more pleased.
