64 and Ready to Rejuvenate! - San Diego, CA

The photo (although making me look slightly insane) was taken at just about 4 months. I think my result is great! Natural. Looks like me but better :-) I get a lot of long pauses when seeing people I haven't seen in a while followed by "you look......so good...so rested." Love it!

At just about 4 months to the day my forehead suddenly feels lots better. It's been one of the lingering things that the area between and just above my eyebrows was super-sensitive to the touch and still quite numb. Now it's feeling a LOT better. The only remaining weirdness that I notice is right under my chin and my throat. Just a feeling of tightness and still some numbness.

Overall...feeling great and very happy with my result. Looking back at my anxiousness and getting through that first week or so, I can now say I am VERY glad I did it. I think it's one of the best things I have done for myself. I feel so much better about myself and am taking much better care of myself. And I just feel lots more upbeat and ready to engage with life!

I've been having a lovely time enjoying my new look. I get funny looks from people who haven't seen me in a while...never gets old :-) Then they look puzzled (like they're trying to figure out if I really look different, or did something, or what...) and say something like "you look sooo...you look really pretty...really rested..." Depending on who it is I'll say "thanks!" in a real perky way (like I hear such things all the time) or "well, could be the facelift!"

They took pictures again and then gave me my before and after pictures from the same angle, same lighting. It's pretty cool seeing how different my result is from before but without it being artificial or weird looking. Thought you guys would enjoy seeing them too!

Well, that actually went by pretty fast. Of course it didn't seem like it all that time. Surprisingly, to me, I'm STILL in a healing process. I, mistakenly (like an idiot) , thought "out of work two weeks" means "you are fully recovered and healed in two weeks."

Uh no. The healing process is really amazing and, for the most part, the bruising is gone after two weeks. And your discomfort level has subsided considerably. But things are most definitely healing within.

I have regained a lot of feeling around by ears and back of my head. Still have swelling but much reduced. My forehead...particularly at my brow line became super sensitive to touch (in the areas that are less numb) but also sometimes super itchy. Weird. I can comfortably put on and wear my reading glasses whereas for a while it was a little uncomfortable to do so.

I'm quite happy with my result! I really see a difference and I feel A LOT better about myself. I'm taking better care of myself: eating better (I've lost 16 pounds since surgery), exercising. So, I'm still 64 (yikes 65 in three weeks) but I find that much more comfortable than I ever have or thought I could. It may be "shallow" that my outward appearance seems more youthful and that make me happy. But isn't seeking happiness what we're all doing? This is working for me and I'm lucky enough to be able to do it for myself.

I think Dr. Miller did a great job. Exactly what I wanted. People definitely notice that you look "better" but, unless I tell them...which I often do...because I think it's pretty cool...they'll say "you like good...rested." And maybe that's what youth is...you've been able to get enough sleep that you actually look rested :-)
