WORTH IT$6,700

I am 68 and recently lost 79lbs which in turn gave me a turkey neck[UGLY one] So after MUCH debate I decided to get it tightened up as it looked like it belonged to a 100yr ol
13 days ago I had a neck and part face lift So far of today I am thrilled I intend to buy a pretty necklace to compliment my neck

Oh my what a change. You must be so happy. Wow oh wow. Congrats in losing all that weight and now a new face. You will be dancing all over the place. Your neck looks really good . Like you I tossed it around for many years then that was it. So happy got you.
I know now I think I look about 15 years younger. At least I feel it.
You have very little bruising

So much more bruising is gone today.. THANK GOD after washing my hair tonight a lot of the scabbing came out of my head , that was soo annoying.... I have some swelling in my lower face the rest looks pretty good.. I am still using ice but not sure if it can help anymore... I got permission today to be able sit outside as long as I use sunscreen 45 or higher.. I might actually go in the pool tomorrow thinking the sun might help heal some of the scabbing and brusing..Any thoughts on that subject?????

I am going to my grandaughters 17th birthday party sat my first entrance.. Cant wait to hear what everyone says... I decided to wait until monday to go back to work so maybe it will look better.. I am not a makeup person so I have no clue how to cover up the bruises on my neck.... Hope everyone is doing well tonight

For coverup on your neck I bought DermaBlend makeup. Its for scars or bruising and does an amazing job. I bought it at Shoppers Drugmart here in Canada. Not sure where you live?

Thank you I am going to google it.. Do I have to match color to my skin? Haha I have NEVER worn make up so no clue here... lol
July 13, 2012
Yes they match it to your skin color. It really works.

Thank you I actually went to the Ulta store and asked for it, the salesgirl said I didnt have enough bruising to need it so I didnt get it.. lol
July 13, 2012
Wow good for you...congratulations

You look fabulous! Thanks for going to the lengths of posting pictures. I went to look up your doctor and I can't find his website. Perhaps he doesn't have one...??

At any rate, I look forward to learning more about him.

Did you know if he did an SMAS or a deep plane lift? I'm curious about his technique.
