pic and updates!
Hey, I'm doing great. Had a hiccup on left side along hairline incision. One part, the size of a pin prick, wouldn't close and whitish yellow liquid would come out. I was scared it was a suture that wasn't dissolving and the Dr would have to re open the area up and dig around for it. I wasn't mentally prepared for that. Anyway at one point I saw the Dr and we put silver on it to prevent infection. That was an experience in itself. After about two weeks of of it being open and having silver on it and me cleaning it often, it closed up and looks great.

I was hoping you would update with pics! You look great and I thought I was crazy to have a facelift at 43 until I found your story. I need one, but still feels crazy. You inspired me to over ahead and finally have my surgery set for Feb 2016. Thank you for posting your journey and know that it inspired me to start my own. =)

rest of sutures and staples come out today
My cheeks are slowly becoming less numb. I'm taking a trip tomorrow so am getting the remainder of the sutures and staples out today. Not looking forward to the staple bit. Here's the latest pic.

So your price for the facelift was $5000, correct? That is a great price for California.

Well, you neck looks lifted anyway! I am going to 2 consultations in New Orleans to plastic surgeons that I am a repeat patient of and I am dreading to see what the quotes will be. I know based on past procedures that I will probably pay double for the same exact thing. What you needed, I need exactly. I already had a forehe
ad lift years ago and my neck done as well. I don't have jowls at all but that little triangle right in the middle of my throat where the thyroid is has extra skin that I would like taken care of and my mouth looks like yours did preop. If they gave me a $5,000 quote I would jump on it.
