Feeling Great!
WORTH IT$15,000
It's been about 4 months and I'm thrilled with my results. I still have a little swelling on my left side which throws my smile off a bit but it gets better and better. Went to my nieces wedding and people commented hat my new hairstyle makes me look completely different. I had to laugh!
Scheduled for fraxel resurfacing on Oct 31. I'm more nervous about that than the surgery!

3 Months and feeling great!
Just had my 3 month check up. All is going well. My PS took photos so as soon as I get those before/afters I'll post them.
I'm still a little pudgy on the left side of my face but I'm really the only one that notices! I still have the tight neck feel but love the results. I'm also getting back my 6 dimple smile (as my hubby calls it) that I haven't seen in 15 years!
I am so happy that I did this. It wasn't as easy a process as I thought it would be but it's been worth it!

Still can't get over how pretty your eyes turned out! Not sure if this is his typical result (?) but you were certainly a home run. Nice to see an update from you.....grace

Thanks Grace. The eyes are really my favorite part of the makeover! I guess I never really thought too much about them prior to my surgery so I didn't zero in specifically on his work involving eyes. I didn't realize that my eyes were so bad but now that I see what they look like I recognize that woman of 30 years ago! I missed those eyes! They were my prettiest feature and I'm glad they're back. I would assume that if your eyes were great a long time ago there's potential to get them back!

2 Months Post Op
The time is flying by! No real major changes from last week. I am sleeping on less of an angle and on my side a bit more. I am sleeping with my jaw bra (I love that term!) which seems to help with my under chin and left cheek swelling. You'll also note from my side photos that there is still some discoloration that I still have to cover with makeup. The pain is completely gone with just a few fleeting phantom pains here and there.
All in all I'm doing great and I'm thrilled I chose to do this!

Wow, what a difference! I am happy with my results even though I am only 4 weeks post op. Go to the doctor tomorrow for a follow up, anxious to see what she thinks. My changes were too drastic to hide, most people at work know I had something done.
Can you tell me how you were able to post the before and after pictures together? I don't see where there is an option to do that on this site. I am guessing you used an app on your phone to do and then uploaded that picture to the site. If so can you tell me what the app is? thx

CatFer, I used Photoshop to put them together. You can also use PowerPoint to put the photos side by side and then save it as a jpeg. If you need help, let me know. I'll help you out!

You look beautiful!
Would be nice to see update on pictures on 1 year post and 2 years post. Those really tell how the fl holds and helps people to do informed decisions.

Thank you! I'll make sure to come back at 1 year. I'm planning on having Fraxel done in the Fall to help even out my skin tone. I've had freckles all my life and have loved them - unfortunately I now have age spots that must go!

That is such a transformation, you have taken at least 20 years off your looks. I agree that you are one of the most drastic improvements on Real Self.
