WORTH IT$11,000
Ever since I was in my twenties people have said "Why do you look so sad?", when actually I had a 'neutral' face expression. In fairness I've also been told I have beautiful eyes...but they are kind of 'puppy dog' eyes. In my thirties my brow started to get heavy and quite lined early and I decided back then that one day I would get a brow lift. Now at 45, my eyes no longer look beautiful...they look tired as the heaviness of my brow makes them look so, unless I force a 'raised brow' expression. It's time to bite the bullet and get this done...I'm terrified!

Good for you. I think it's very normal to be nervous before any surgery but if you've lived up your name sake! you've done the research. I think you will be in very safe, capable hands. Dr Webster appears to be one of the best facial surgeons around. When the time comes in the next couple of years, I've chosen Dr Webster to do my face/eyes. Can't wait to follow your progress.

I had a brow lift this year and it had totally restored my youthful look It raised my brows and made my forehead less wrinkled. Look at my profile. You can see my pix. I'm a happy younger looking lady.

Thanks for your encouragement. I am still very swollen but I'm sure that it will settle.

I'm sure in a week from now the swelling will be history. You will look in the mirror and you'll have a huge smile on your face. Omg. Enjoy. Did you look up my profile? Thoughts??

This time in 3 weeks it will be surgery eve! I'm pleased I'm getting this done, but also scared. My biggest fear is that my eye brows will be raised too high or in a shape that just doesn't look like me. But I remind myself that I chose Howard Webster carefully and because his reviews were consistently good. I also reflect on the brow lift pictures he showed me in his office, and not one looked over-done. The way I look at it, my brow is heavy now- it's only going to get worse as I age. The time is now!

4 days post surgery..recovery is tough!

I had my surgery late Monday afternoon; it's now Friday afternoon so technically I'm on day 4 of recovery.
Well I'm not going to sugarcoat it, the first 3 days of recovery were TERRIBLE. It's not uncommon for nausea to be a side effect of a brow lift, and Howard had explained this to me...but the reality was much harder than I'd let myself register. I had illusions that I'd be a bit queasy and headachy ....in truth i felt violently ill and couldn't get enough drugs into me to ease the headaches. Up until today if I'd been able to push a button and magically not have done the browlift, I'd push it.
But thank goodness, today, day 4, I've had some blessed relief.
I can't update my results to say its worth it yet because my eyes are very swollen and bruised, so I can't comment on the outcome yet. What I can say is that Howard Webster has been absolutely amazing in the post-op stage. One of the reasons I chose him is that not only are all his reviews amazing, even when something doesn't go to plan (as can happen), Howard is available and attentive. And my experience certainly reinforces that. Because I've felt very sick (according to Howard my nausea is worse than average), and he has been at the end of the phone, asking me questions to assess how I am, reassuring me. Sooo totally impressed with his care.

You poor thing. I hope you're feeling better today.
That's great re: Mr Webster being available for you.
I'm having a skype consult with Dr Bryan Mendelson's co-ordinators in a couple of weeks. Apparently Mr Webster doesn't do skype so we'll have to find a day to drive down to Albury.
Thanks for sharing. I hope you continue to improve each day.
