Really happy with results so far
WORTH IT$23,000
I flew down to Sydney a couple of days ago to see Dr Nettle. He said I was looking good and was pleased with my progress but said I still had a way to go. He took lots of photos so I have posted a few of them. The photos are invaluable as they really bring home exactly how you looked. I am now sleeping on the sides of my face which took me 6 weeks to do, Im still numb on the sides of my face but thats easy to live with and is better than it was. I feel great and I'm really pleased. Dr Nettle and all his staff have been fantastic.

6 Weeks
Hello I am now 6 week post facelift. Im liking what I'm looking like a lot, I have a nice jawline and that was the most important thing for me. My eyes along the scars are still quite noticeable and red but a bit of concealer does wonders. I have learnt to accept the numbness and just go with the flow.
I'm flying down to Sydney on the 17th to see Dr Nettle, hope he is happy with my progress.

wow you look gorgeous especially with your hair up
thanks so much for the compliment x
What procedures did you have done? Looks great so far!
Hi
I had a facelift, Neck lift, Lower and upper eyes done, I also had some fat transfer done on various spots
you look gorgeous!!! what are you using to cover the scars? I haven't found a concealer that can cover my eyelid scars.
Hi Joanne
The concealer I've been using is a brand here in Australia called Thin Lizzy. I think it's a NZ company. Its pretty good and I think the trick is matching it correctly to your skin tone X
I love the concealer by Skin Food, out of Korean, that can be bought online on Amazon, for around $9. When applied with a Q-tip, it easily glides on, when compared with other tar-like concealers, but gives good coverage, and moisturizing. When applied around the nostrils, it nicely softens your appearance, too. Plenty of product in the jar, should last "forever".
You look wonderful...good for you!
Beautiful jawline :))
Thanks, I love my jawline, that was the most important area I wanted fixed!

5 weeks
Hi ladies well 5 weeks are gone YAY, I know the swelling is going down to look at but it sure doesn't feel like it :-(
I'm still numb on the sides of my face, one ear, and under the chin area. I have read all about the numbness on this site but you really don't know what you sign up for, it just feels weird particularly when you accidentally brush yourself and you sort of don't feel it. I'm putting on my scar gel twice a day so hope it helps, still a bit soon to tell but figure it can't hinder.

The numbness will take a while, I'm 6 months post op and still have some numbness....the worst is under my eyes....hate putting on eyeliner!!!
That gives me encouragement, Thanks Joanne
You look terrific and are healing nicely. Please continue to post updates. You just keep getting better and better!
Thanks for the nice words, Today I think I look like a fat cat again, The swelling goes up and down, up and down, at least every day is a surprise!!!
Your looking really great! I'm coming up on 5 months and still have some swelling. It's an up and down merry go round ride. I'm ecstatic that I had mine done, just wait it's just gets better and better.
