Thanks for the update, you look awesome! I'm booked with Dr Marten next year and have a few questions.
1. Have your scars healed completely by now?
2. Did he do an upper and lower blepharoplasty (eyelift)
3.How has the fat lasted and are you happy with the fat transfer - would you choose to do the fat transfer with the facelift if you had the choice again, or would you just opt for the facelift?
I'm nervous about fat transfer as my cheeks are very full and round as it is...

Thank you so much for the up date. I was starting to worry that something wasn't right being that you dropped off. So happy that it was simply you've been too busy enjoying life!! Thank you for being so open and sharing your journey with us. You are an inspiration!

How much did you pay for the face/neck lift total. you do look a lot younger. wow. good job. do any of your friends bring up the word..vain... around you. i dont want anyone to think bad of me, like looks are all I think about. But they are important. I've been the pretty girl all my life. That's my identity. Its who I am and strive to be. But hitting 42 now, I really scared how wrinkles, age will affect me pysche. If I'm not the prettiest anymore then what am I. I already had a BA, which I love that I did. I'm so happy with that decision. But two surgeries.....I'm afraid my family will call me selfish and vain. thanks,

I think the total is on the top of my review. It was not cheap! Vanity.. hmm that's a tough one! Most of my friends actually don't know about the surgery and others have even forgotten I've had it. My family thought I was crazy, but never brought up that I was being vain. I wouldn't worry about you being thought selfish, I'm sure there are many many things you do for others all the time. We have one life, and we want to be as happy as we can and make those around us happy too. Best of luck in your decisions, you'll know what it right for you in your heart.

I can't believe it's been 5 months already! I am soo pleased with my results, I feel so much confidence, again - which is priceless to me.
So within the last month, I did go and get botox between my eyebrows. The brow lift Dr. Marten did was a conservative one and he doesn't do the thing between the brows that make women not be able to frown. So I went and saw the other Dr. in his office, because Dr. Marten doesn't do fillers because he's so busy.. Well the other Dr. is Dr. Elysiana (I think that's how you spell it) he said he will soon not do fillers anymore either (boo!!!) anyway, I have been getting botox between my brows for 5 years and this is the first time IT DIDN'T HURT! He was very gentle and did exactly what I wanted (only between the brows, and a tiny bit above the brows) I think it cost about $350. Anyway, after a week, I saw the results and he did an AMAZING job - not only that he is super cute, haha!! I did schedule my next botox session with him, but not sure how much longer he will do it - bummer..
I am posting a bunch of pics from the past couple of weeks, can't remember if I mentioned that I got the lash extensions again. I know they are super long, but I love them and so does my new boyfriend - goodness does he love them!
I feel great, am running and going to the gym.. trying to eat healthy (super hard during the holidays) and enjoying my family. I will go back to auditioning in the spring.
I was able to put earrings in my right ear, but not my left.. my entire left side is slower to heal than the right. The bump under my left brow is now undetectable. It just went down on its own, like I thought it would..
Hope everyone is doing great and I wish you all a very happy 2015 - best of luck to you who are getting your surgeries this year! I put a couple body shots in, from Hawaii a couple weeks ago while I was visiting my parents - as I mentioned I had a mommy makeover 3 1/2 years ago. (tummy tuck/breast augmentation) I had Dr. Commons in Palo Alto. I may not have nice furniture or a new car, but I would much rather feel good about how I look and travel than have nicer things, but that's just me and I am very happy.
Best wishes to everyone, and thank you for all your love and support..

Happy New Year to you too Fallen! I am on the same page as you, that doing things to look and feel good are a priority for me this year.... as opposed to purchasing a new car etc.You look great!

Love your attitude, I'm with you. If I look good, I feel good and nothing is better than looking in the mirror and thinking "you rock". Your results are fantastic - I am looking forward to a new me in 2015.

You Do Look Absolutely Stunning. Can you tell me how long it took for your natural smile to come back? I am about 9 weeks out AND I Think My Smile Is Scarey. Or perhaps it's the eyes as well due to bith upper and lower blepharoplasty. I want to feel like you Now. Thank you for sharing and updating your journey. Happy new year and many blesssings!!

You look wonderful. Thanks for the update. I am 7 weeks out and it is wonderful to read about your recovery. My early weeks were very similar to yours, especially the neck stiffness.
