Like some that are unhappy with an area/part of their body, too big, too lumpy, too flabby, too small etc, we go on a roller coaster ride of, will I, shall I, no I better not, yes I will, no I won't, I'm scared, no I'll be brave.
Well for me it's a FaceLift i'm having done, those saggy jowls arghhh I have finally booked my surgery in Sydney, I live in Brisbane so it means I will be staying in a hotel for about 12 nights.
I have been thinking about doing this for a couple of years now and in the last 12 months I have been doing loads of research. I was going to Thailand to have it done, then I was going to Mexico, then USA and even thought seriously, very seriously about Malaysia. I had made enquires and was so ready for Thailand it wasn't funny.
I saw a highly qualified Dr up here in Brisbane that was actually recommended to me by a lady that had had a FaceLift so was able to see the results which were excellent but still I kept searching.
My searching led me to Dr Warwick Nettle, I had to wait a full 6 months just to have a consultation with him but that gave me plenty of time to research him. I truly believe that I have chosen the right Dr and even though going oversea's or having the surgery here in my home state would of been cheaper for me I want exceptional results and I know I will get them with Dr Nettle.

It sounds like you've really done your due diligence on finding your surgeon, which is GREAT! I hope you'll keep us posted throughout your process. Here's a quick video about what the recovery time is like for a facelift.: <rs-video-player video='{"id":"1460","external_id":"3615986366001","uri":"video\/recovery-from-a-facelift-surgery"}'></rs-video-player>

I think you will have an amazing result! Your skin and face shape is very much like what my first consult doctor showed me would be the ideal type for most improvement. Aren't we fortunate to live now so this is possible? I am excited for you (and me)!

I'm up early and have to be at the hospital at 6.45am.
Yesterday
Went to see Dr Nettle and talked through the whole process about today. He was very informative and easy to speak with. I then met with his Nurse and we went through all the medications, the do's and don'ts and so on. My husband is with me so I'm feeling happy I have the support.
