I've been noticing over the past year that my neck looks wrinkly & saggy and my jowls are starting to show. I'm very fit and young for my age. So I felt the one thing that needed changing was a lift so that my face can match my body and my attitude. Well I did I it! 3 days ago today. I love my surgeon and his friendly staff. It's early to tell but so far loving what I see!

Thank you and very best of luck to you! I'm thinking of actually doing my hair and a little make up tonight to go to dinner and a movie with my hubby :-) can't wait to see yours!

Thank-you! You go girl! You didn't list what specifically you had done. Was it a straight up facelift? I will post!! I just turned 50. Better results the closer to 50 versus waiting, I've heard from several sources! Have a ball tonight, you deserve it!

Oh I thought I listed it. I got a full lower face lift with a little neck lipo. I'm glad I did it at 51 bc my neck & jowls just didn't match the rest of me. And thank you!!
November 11, 2016
Is there a difference between a full lower face lift vs. a regular facelift? I am getting a standard facelift with fat injections, except the lips, which I hear still do not take well. Well, your ps did a great job because your neck and jawline look great!

Thank you so much! When I say full face lift I mean he lifted from the muscles and only lower not my forehead. I didn't get injections just lipo under my chin. :-) I'm excited for you!

Oh awesome! You have very few wrinkles from what I could see in your pics. You're right, you're a great looking and fit 51 y.o. I'm pretty much in the same position as you. Excited to see your progress!! Thanks for the kind words!

Hi I was wondering did you have a fat transfer as well or just face lift? I am planning to have one, but haven't found a doctor to trust my face too.

No fat transfer, just face lift. Definitely take your time and find a doctor you trust! It's your face and it deserves qualified expertise! ;-)
