Almost 7 mos post

Can't believe I am almost 7mos post, what an adventure! Would I do it again, in a heartbeat! Finally got a chance to take some new pics, I'll try to post them now, seems they keep rotating in preview, hope they right themselves once posted . As for the healing process, all stitches perfectly healed, according to my PS a little red still but that's normal, still a little puffy under my eyes according to my PS, so I still take water pills, to be honest my eyes look so much better to me I don't care, but do what he advised. In front of my ears is still a little numb, but getting more feeling everyday. Otherwise almost feel like I never did it! I see my PS again beginning of Dec. so I'll update again then, and he was going to try a laser on some of the remaining discoloration under my eyes, but we'll see what he thinks! Good luck to all no matter what stage of this you are in!

Everyday is still a new adventure in the healing process, but if I'm stiffer one place, the next day it's better, Motrin and water pills still help a lot. Scars are healing great though and I think are gaining more feeling. No one seemed to notice at the graduation party except to say I never change! Haha posting some pics from today! Good luck to all hope they help someone!

I'm getting the pinch with mini lift tomorrow, i'm scared because i am going away on a family vacation in September, NOBODY knows about this except my husband. Can you cover it with makeup well? You look fabulous, you should be so happy with results. I hope i'm as lucky.

No one knew about mine either, told them I was having wisdom teeth out! After 6 weeks no one noticed mine and I have a super critical family. If you are having yours done tomorrow by Sept you should be looking fabulous! Let me know if you have any questions and good luck tomorrow!

Thank you so much! I am freaked out about this, first, it seems like such a stupid thing to do. It's a ton of money, (I'm in SF Bay Area, things are not cheap here), i would really like to remodel my kitchen, but my husband says "do it" (i don't know how to take that really :-)) He says i'll feel better about myself, it's something i've wanted for a long time (but was too cheap to do it). I don't hate my looks, my jawline is just sagging and profile looks like hell. Money comes and goes and we can redo the kitchen a bit later. They will both get done.... (i keep telling myself i'm not being vain, but that is exactly what it reads to other ppl) I can't use wisdom teeth, i had those out already, i'm going to use root canals (thanks for the teeth tip). I can wear glasses until then. It's actually June 18 at 8:30 a.m., i was off by a day. I'll post pics before and after. Thanks again Blanche.

I felt the same guilt, mine was 10k, & I'm in FL, UGH! , but your husband sounds like mine, they only want you to feel better(told him he was off the hook for any gifts for a while this was enough!) As for houses something always needs to be done, once you finish the kitchen you'll need a new roof, etc. I feel like this is a better investment! If mommy is happy, everyone is happy! Haha Good luck this morning, after the initial bruising you may question your decision again, but everyday will know you made the right choice!

Had it done, it took all day, and i am the ultimate pumpkin head right now. It was a bit painful, but with everything they did, i feel pretty good about the future results. I'm dopey, tired and wish i could drink water, but they lasered around my mouth so thats a non starter. Besides the lift and the pinch, they did laser for smoke lines around my mouth. I used to be a smoker. I quit years ago, but the residual effects are a mother. They also fixed my ears, my holes had gotten long and droopy, so i have better ears to boot. So far, my husband is being super sweet. I'll see how long that lasts.

Not as painful as i expected, this is a bonus. Thanks again Blanche52. You've been super awesome through this whole procedure.

Graduation party tomorrow, should be my biggest test, but I think my face is looking pretty good! My PS said to take an extra water pill or two to combat any extra fluid under my eyes, but that everything else looks great!

Was the "Fluid" from the lower BlEPH or also because of the mini lift. The reason I ask, is that I did not have lower Bleph with my face and neck lift, but have fat, swelling or something under and around my eyes. I hope it is "Fluid" and I do not need a lower Bleph :)
June 15, 2015
Hi, he said the fluid under my eyes was from the draining of the swelling from the lower bleph heading out, meeting with the fluid(swelling) of the mini, in his words all of the excess fluid will continue to head down to the lowest point! In any case, the water pills helped ALOT and my face definitely looks more like I was hoping it would! I'll post some pics later of what it looks like now!

Thank You Blanche52. I am Glad I had THIS procedure. I have had other procedures by other Doctors and it was always a bust. I really feel that since I am Sadly in Las Vegas :), DR H SHAH was the only one that could do things right. He is truly focused on his patients and not the MONEY. You got a Good one too. I wish everyone could get the result we did. A lot do but and some do not.
Hugs :)
