58 Years Old, Facelift, Necklift and Upper and Lower Eyelid Surgery - Sacramento, CA

thank you so much! I am so happy and very satisfied after this last procedure. It was totally worth it.

Thank you!

He didn't think I needed a full brow lift. So he suggested just a temperal lift. I was okay with that because I wanted a doctor who was a bit conservative. A friend of mine had a FL and she now always looks surprised. I also would hear people talking about her behind her back how awful she looked, very obvious she had a fl. I did not want to look like I had a fl, rather to just look more refreshed or rejuvenated. So, when the results weren't quite enough, I was okay with that. Especially, when he did not hesitate to do the enhancement after only 6 weeks. I go back for a follow up in a month and I can ask exactly what he did during the procedure. Are you considering this type of "enhancement" ?

Nobody knows about mine either, except my husband who was taking care of me. My Doctor recommended brow lift and I'm so glad I listened to him, my lines on my forehead are gone! Also those ugly frown lines, my eyes look so refresh! So natural! All depend the kind of Doctor that you choose. BMW you look beautiful!! Congrats ☺

I had an upper eye lift at age 44, some 2 decades ago. He lifted it more in the mid eye area but with great facial volume it looked great. Now there is more laxity in the outer 1/3. So a lateral lift or a skin excision or both would address the issue. I was just wondering, in your case, why the original lateral lift did not do enough. Was the lateral lift incision in the hair scalp or in front of it? And where was the enhancement incision placed. Some lateral lifts are done with the incisions slightly above the temple (at about the 2 o'clock position on the forehead) and in front of the hairline. In such a case it would seem like that should be sufficient to raise the lateral brow as your enhancement did. On RS there is very little discussion of brow lifts in general and almost none on the specs of lateral. So thanks for the opp to get more info on this....grace

Thank you! I suppose I am the most excited about the new me. My husband says I look great, but loved me the way I was before, too. I didn't tell most family members. However, since I stopped wearing glasses before the surgery (I had cataracts removed), everyone attributes my new look due to that. Also, some have asked if I lost weight or did I have my hair highlighted? I'm happy that its natural enough to not be noticable, but enough to make a difference.

yes would also like to know.

Yes, I meant he extended the incision from the temple to the brow. To be honest I am not sure how the procedure was done. I'm not sure if I can post pictures that would show the difference. For me, it is really noticable, primarily with the upper eyelids. I am happy that I did go forward with the enhancement procedure. I am surprised that so many people are so curious about the enhancement.

He would not do any type of enhancements to give you the results you would be happy with?

Well I thought about that. But, no Dr. wants to admit not fulfilling what his patient wanted and paying for it. Plus I have no idea how much he would charge me. I have to save money.

Hi Betty, You look so refreshed! Glad everything is working out for you. Keep us posted in the coming months on how you are doing. Take care.

Thank you! And yes, I agree, he is very talented and super nice.

Kim, I originally had my lower eye lids done. The extended temperal/brow lift was to correct the excess skin of my upper eye lids. I did have those done too, but it wasn't quite enough.
