It is so funny that this email came to me today as I actually went to the PS tonight for a follow up.. I still have couple lumps under my chin that most days dont bother me at all .. Actually I dont see it unless I take a close up picture then it shows up... I have asked several people and they all said the same thing they don't notice it.. I asked the dr what he thought and he said what I knew he would say It was because I had SOOO much excess skin in my neck before he could tighten it more but would need to have it done in the hospital because it it would have to be pulled behind my ears again...... I asked if it would get worse if I didnt and he said no, it is what it is When I had my surgery I was hoping for like a 50 percent change and said I would be Estatic. well I have about a 90 percent change so I have decided to accept it and just be grateful I read before I had it done that it takes a year to 18 months to see the final results and I am at the 16 month mark.. I am happy with my results and most grateful to the dr.. I didnt have my eyes done and I dont regret that . I am most grateful that I do not have any pain I still have little bit of numbness on one side but very very little Check my latest photo and see if you can see it....... If you want pm me and I will send a close up where it looks sooo much different If I hold the camera head on and close up is when it is visable otherwise not so bad........ Have a good day all..Hope everyone is doing well Praying for all

It is so funny that this turned up as an email to me today as I actually went back to the dr today for a followup.. I still have a few small lumps under my chin that bother me, but everyone else says it is no big deal.I asked the Dr what he could do , he said it certainly fixable but I would have to have it done in the hospital becuase it would have to be done behind my ears again. I had SOOOO much extra skin... I looked at him and said No never mind.. I didnt expect perfection when I had it done and I am about 90 percent better than I was.. I told him on that day if I could look 50 percent better I would be thrilled. ......... I asked a few people what they thought and all said the same thing Unless you stare at it no one sees it...... so It is what it is.. Once all the swelling does go down which takes about one year to see all the changes you really dont see the final results.. I am happy I did it.. I didnt have my eyes done as I wanted to look real and not plastic as my kids say......... I will still say Dr Lalla is awesome ,kind caring and gentle He is a gift from God.............. Included is my update photo 16 months since surgery

Still waiting for my neck to totally tighten up. I am probably too critical I know I had such a Horrible neck. And I didnt do my eyes. My family didnt want me to. Don't get me wrong. I look sooo different and everywhere I go people tell me I look soo different. I will wait until the one yr mark for my final decision. It is none months and s seeing changes. I thought people were kidding but it does take that long. Does anyone know why. I will pat a new photo this week

Awesome my PS called today and wants me to come in for a follow up.. I will be one year the end of June I just assumed I was done with the dr, I NEVER expected him to call me.. So I will now question my neck It is really not bad for my age but not what it was when my face and neck was swollen I ACTUALLY loved it then.. I understand I had a LOT of extra wrinkled skin before surgery... No one seemed to know I had the surgery they said my vacation made me look relaxed and younger It was funny.. I have grown my hair some and now I am trying to decide If I look better with it shorter.. Anyone else do something and now wonder about it.?? I will let you know what the PS has to say... I really dont have a complaint I can live with this fine but hope he can improve a TINY bit more.. I didnt get my eyes done as I didnt have the money . I just paid off my face this week so I OWN ME> lol
