WORTH IT
I am discovering new things about makeup and hair color. It's been 22 days since my surgery, and my face and neck are looking better every day.

Loving the hair and the colors looks very good on you, brings out your features... you are healing nicely and you look years younger! I'am think in my 3 week coming up of doing new hair too.....highlights (lots) and maybe shorter hair, something much easier to deal with, I had my hair to my bra line but cut it before surgery to a little past my shoulders, so maybe I'll just go have highlight done.......Looking fabulous!

Hi Altamira55. Are you still happy with your results? it's been a while since your last photo. Would you be able to post more recent photos & how you're enjoying your lower face & neck lift?

How quickly time passes. There's still some swelling and a little bruising but nothing noticeable. The pink in my cheeks is not makeup. I just got back from a walk. Aerobic exercise helps with the swelling, I think. Speeds up the circulation. I wonder about the little fat cells that were transferred from my abdomen to my face. Are they happy in their new home? What can I do to make them thrive and grow?

Looks like they're growing very well - you look amazing! Lovely youthful look. Cannot believe you are 68!!!! How long should the fat transfer last?

I don't know how long it will last. Best I can tell from everything I've read is that the fat cells that take hold and develop a blood supply will last as long as any other fat in the face. The aging process will continue, and over time the fat will be lost, just as the original fat was. I expect it to look OK for at least 5 years.

You are looking fabulous, your face is much more even on both side, I can not see any dips, bumps or lump...like my face. The fat in your cheeks to the lower portion of your face are nicely distributed, giving you a nice fullness. My lower half of my face doesn't quite have that same fullness, I seem to have fallen flat there or need the fat cells to grow and take hold. You've got great results so far!

I guess I should say how old I am ...

I'm 68. It's just so cool to be able to push the re-set button, as it were, and look way younger. My hands give away my age, though. I've got to do something about my hands next!
