WORTH IT$3,700
I am sending an update from my surgery from July 2022. Since then a lot has happened health-wise and I lost weight from a knee replacement surgery. (I highly don't recommend getting one unless you must!) I have not really taken care of myself like I used to but here are two pictures taken almost a year after I took the other ones. It looks like my philtrum is a little longer but I can still see my teeth and it also looks like my neck bands want to come back but I'm hoping they won't. I have to realize I'm coming up to be 70's and my boyfriend Mick (Jagger) is now 80 and he's still rock and rolling and I want to be rock and rolling too at that age, hopefully with a 30-year-old husband, ha.

Deep plane facelift and lip lift without anesthesia in Florida - Love it!
aluiciousAugust 18, 2022
Today is one month after my facelift and lip lift with Dr. Azzi. He did my lip lift in 2017 (reviewed here) and I recently went to him to get a facelift and lip lift (July 18, 2022). I wanted to just fix my wrinkly neck but he said the best results would be from a facelift/necklift. He did a small lip lift, about 4 mm off. I guess it's ok. He wanted to do more, I thought it would be too much. Now I think he was right, dang it. My big complaint was the bands on my neck. Please get rid of those ugly bands!
He did. This was an easy procedure. Why? Because Dr. Azzi did not use anesthesia. I went in, took some valium, and mostly slept through it all while they played airy-fairy music. Before the surgery I took Vitamin C and Arnica Montana 30x Tablets two week before and stopped taking aspirin, hormones, etc. There were stitches behind my ears, in front of the ears, behind my neck, and under my chin. He does the best, tiniest stitches ever and now I don't see scars at all. I had a lot of bruising and that all went away after about nine days.
Dr. Azzi and his staff were, once again, the best. I saw him in Jupiter this time. (I refrained from asking him if he would marry me. That would be wrong.)
Here are some before pictures and after pictures. This time, instead of giving me your honest opinion like last time (which hurt, by the way), just tell me I look like a million bucks.

You look a million $$! Your neck, face and lips look amazing. You have beautiful skin. Would you mind sharing the cost of your surgery?

I think it was total $16,000. There was $2000 extra for the liplift (that was a discount). And extra for the necklift (scar under the chin) to pull out the bands.

You look beautiful. it's not uncommon to fall in love with your doctor (I did) but nothing came of it.You are so vibrant and your references to Mick and the stones didn't go unnoticed. by me. Your face is as young as your heart. I am so very happy for you!!!!

Mick and the Stones are in their 70's and every excess and over indulgence shows on their faces. But do they get surgery to look younger No. Why do we do it. Anyway that photo where you said "It's hard to be a super model. You look so much like my teenage woman crush Bridget Bardot. I think there is something in one's soul and outlook that makes age on a woman look less important. You've got that vibe and energy that screams youth from the inside out. Your surgeon put the cherry on the cake. Your energy is contagious! Go sister, Go Sister. (lady marmalade) Bless your heart I'm getting your vibes.

Even Brigitte Bardot has aged! But what a beauty in her day, thank you for that comparison! I don't come close! I try to keep my sense of humor, even in these crazy times.

Update on lip lift in 2018- Florida
aluiciousApril 29, 2022
I had my lip lift done in Feb 2018. I'm sending updated photos so you can see me currently. (Notice, same scraggly hair. ) I have not had any lip lift revisions. I have kept my lips supple with filler and had some done February 2022. I get a very natural look. Recently I wrote to my plastic surgeon, Dr. Azzi (best surgeon ever), that I thought my philtrim was too long again. I sent photos and he said he thought my lips look great but he would do a revision if I wanted. I think instead I am going to ask him for a neck lift or deep plane facelift, even though for some reason my neck looks ok here. The bands are showing and make me look old, and we all know I am not old! I am going to talk to Dr. Azzi virtually very soon and will keep you posted. But what do you gals think? Facelift? Lip lift? Hair extensions, ha? Be nice!

I think you look lovely. I would start with having your hair cut shorter with layers to give it more body and make it look thicker. Thick hair youthfulness! It may also help to gove your face the appearance of a lift as long hair seems to drag a face down.

I love your honesty and had a chuckle at what you wrote-:)
I think you look great!!
I understand when you ask…if you should do more surgeries.
It’s so hard to know.
If it’s any consolation, I’m looking at getting my nose done…and re:vision to lower blepharoplasty I had done years ago!!
I wish you all the very best!! If you get more surgeries

My suggestion. If you can do it, do it. Research surgeons and do it. Don't go years "wishing" you did it. Good luck.

Hi!
Your candor is refreshing.
I would not cut your hair. I truly believe that longer hair turns back the clock.
I think you’re lips are lovely. I can see however that perhaps your phitrum has lengthened just a bit. I wonder if you could measure it? Mine was 17mm. And I got 5.5mm removed. It’s made so much of a change. Perhaps just getting an additional 2-3mm *if* you’re contemplating another surgery would be worth it. But that’s only if you’re already having another procedure…

Agree. I just got my long hair highlighted and it looks great. I like looking like a hippie chick! I'm getting a facelift from Dr. Azzi in July and he said we could take off a few mm of the lip while I get it. It doesn't look too bad in the photos but I like to get things nipped in the bud before it gets too awful. My neck/face ages me. I want to look 20 years younger than I am.

I got a lip lift/ corner lip lift with Dr. Mascaro a couple of weeks ago. I went from 24mm to 15mm. . He could have taken off more but we agreed that amount was just enough for my face. .

I agree about her hair. I think her cut is very youthful and I'ld leave it be. Are you a hair dresser.
May 16, 2022
Prp for hair works to grow thicker hair! You look great how long after could you move your lip properly ?
June 2, 2022
Yes Iv had 3 goes now and it’s worked a treat I mean so good I feel like cutting my thin grown hair off it’s that think at the roots !
May 22, 2022
WOW, your fresh post op photo looks like it hurt but your results are great, so pretty. And 4 years later you are still looking beautiful !
May 23, 2022
Thanks! When I had this done, it did not hurt. I was awake! My lips puffed up from the numbing stuff, I think. The puffiness went away in about seven days. Also you could barely see the suture marks. He made a really nice bow that my lips lacked.
