UPDATED FROM Rafiji

The new me is peeking through the swelling and the bruises!

WORTH IT$7,000
Today is a great day. Doctor Lev took some stitches out from infront of my ears and from under my chin. He is so very nice and so very careful. As I have thin skin he sees me quite often to do various things that normally would be done later. He's keeping close tabs on me. I feel I am in the best situation possible. Today he said You look like a teenager. I laughter with happiness :)

OMG—absolutely incredible. You are totally gorgeous. You must be feeling pretty wonderful about the results! If you put your pictures from your mid-twenties next to pics you take after recovery, people will be hard pressed to know which is now & which was then!
you are gorgeous!
He's right...could be your high school picture. You look awesome!
You look so amazing! You must be so happy! I am really excited for you and so glad that you have had a wonderful experience in Costa Rica. Loved your video yesterday too!
You look so young!

Holy Cow! You have dropped DECADES! If I ever have the $$, you have convinced me that Dr. Lev is the only way to go!
Unbelievable result! Can you please, let us know what was done? Upper/lower eyelids and neck lift?

Helmet came off today and eye stitches removed. Tomorrow I get to wash my hair after compression garment comes off.

I was very ready to get the heavy, restricting helmet off. Also eyes feel more comfortable now stitches are removed. Around 3pm tomorrow I get to wash and dry my hair. I see Dr, Lev on Wedensday morning . So far so good.
