Last time I tried to post video did not work. If it doesn't work this time, you will certainly have some boring reading in this submission lol. Danny continues to be super responsive and I will go in for an appointment around 10 weeks. Dr Carmona is extremely talented and also has terrific staff. This is one of the better things I have done and a good investment for years to come.

Wow, you look fantastic!! Congratulations, even with some of the hiccups, I believe, probably like you do, that the procedure was totally worth it! Thank you so much for your updates, they are super helpful

Completely worth it! I was spending roughly this amount (maybe a little less) annually and not looking good at all. Really stunned with the results, and in general, the absolute smoothness of the process...

One question, did you spend 8 weeks after your procedure in Cancun/Isla de Mujeres?
March 13, 2021
Yep. Rented out my condo at home and stayed for rest of winter. I also thought to be near the dr for followup but as it turned out used whatsapp for those anyway.

You look great, and following your comments inspired me to go. Thank you. Facelift and neck lift with Dr Carmona May 5.

Great! Don't worry. You are in good hands. They coordinate everything like clockwork. The anesthesiologist is also top notch. Reach out with any questions... also, if you want to see how looks from day to day look for review "40s brings many unwanted facial changes". Her blog is fantastic and really helped me understand how things might look at various stages...

I'm thinking on having the complete facelift and neck just what you had done I'm still a little scared but you look real good girl can you please tell me if the scarfs are despairing or to noticeable ? I have VERY LITTLE hair to hide them so that worries me a lot please let me know

Hi,

I'll post some photos. Most are smooth, but not behind ears, but they say it takes a year to have final product. You'll need cover up for a while. I'll post what I use. The main thing is you have to cover up with sunscreen and stay out of the sun, but that is true of a lot of procedures!!

You look beautiful, great results. Did you go buy yourself or you had someone with you? How was flight back home, did you had more swelling after the flight?

Neck Perfection

It would have been so easy to over or under do the lipo on my cheeks and neck. The neck is still a little swollen under chin (from chin implant) but look at this neck and the lines of cheeks. It is neck perfection.

So besides the lack of moisture on the incision scabs, there were at least 6 sections of suture string in my incisions, causing the scab to fail to fully heal and fall off. Within 2 days of using cerave, the scabs either came off during washing or I was able to use my fingernail to gently list off the scab. So at 6 weeks was when most of my incision scars began healing. So strongly advise ensuring the doctor removes all incision suture pieces very early in process, and use moisture (aquifor or cerave) after he removes sutures. Your healing will go much better!

Really looks terrific I think except for a small raised area on my left cheek. It's possible may still resolve on its own over next month to 4 months when we are supposed to see final results.

I wanted to stay near Cancun until healed to see doctor in case of any problems. I'm glad I did but frankly was not really necessary, and in the case of the bump, he can't do anything anyway, if needed, for a few months.

People on street guess me much younger! It's nice! The chin and incisions still give me discomfort, but it continues to gradually improve! I am no longer using topical anesthetic...
