I am expecting to not look like I have had a face lift. I don't want people asking me who my PS is. I expect to just look refreshed and well rested. I have reached the point to where I hate pictures of myself. My fiance has learned that I like pictures better when he holds the camera higher and I look up into the camera. I am so excited about the procedure. I am not one bit scared.

I know it's only three days, but it will seem much longer for me. I am ready today.

Six more days until facelift!
So, I had my pre-op with my doctor 4/6/2016. He told me what he will be doing and took my before pictures. He will do upper eyes, lower eyes, cheek lift with fat injections, fractional laser resurfacing, and neck lift. I will have to sleep on my back with neck elevated for ten days. I was written prescriptions for Keflex, Percocette, Valium, and phenergan. I will have to use gauze soaked in ice water on my eyes. I was also instructed to get lubricating eye drops and eye ointment. I'm a bit scared about my eyes, because there is a chance they won't close when I sleep. I will have to wash my hair in baby shampoo. I can wash my face in two days with warm water. Also talking must be kept to a minimum because talking can increase swelling and bruising. So many do's and don'ts I sure hope I can remember them all.
