4 months this week. Visited a friend while looking for a new home down south. I haven't seen her since pre-surgery. She loves my new look! Says I don't look "done" at all. Said I have the neck of a 30 year old. Just what I wanted to hear... :o)

I pretty much look the same. Scars almost invisible now. Almost all feeling back in my face.

You look great! Considering doing the same with fat added. My face has fallen and it can't get up!

It was 3 months this weekend, since my lower face/neck/eyelid lift. I'd say I'm very pleased! I did go get $1500 worth of filler & Botox 3 weeks ago but I knew that was to be expected. They banked 1/2 a syringe for me & using it next week. All swelling has been gone for a while now. I still have a tiny bit of numbness in my cheekbones near the ears but that's about it. I do see some wrinkles around my mouth--I wish the PS had pulled the skin just a wee bit tighter by my ears but he promised me a natural, not windblown look, so I'll just keep going with the Botox (or the likes) & filers. Pretty sure I could easily pass for late 30s - early 40s.

You look 34! Ignore your sissy - just giggle when she says anything... I am reading everything and having mid facelift and eyelift in August so It is such a help to read others reviews- thank you for yours.

Seeing Sis Tonight

Seeing my sister tonight for the 1st time since my FL. You know, the one who said a couple years back, "At least my neck doesn't look as bad as your's & Mom's!" And then told Mom she didn't think I needed to do this? Hmmm...

I'm still waiting to post my 1 month update for my 55th b-day (was Monday). Surgeon hasn't sent me the pics yet.

I enjoyed reading your journey! I hVe to say, god bless you and the fact that you can do everything you do. I have a horrible lower back that ruined my fish tank experience for sure. Couldn't do it. One time I had seven tanks. Your neck looks great, nice and tight and young. I still do ride my Harley, and I'm a tattooed woman too...love them! You look great...excellent outcome...

I NEVER lift a single bucket of water, even for my SW reef tanks, everything has been automated for decades...

She said she didn't notice any difference, thought I looked fine before.

Grrrr... At least she didn't say you looked plastic and fake like my friend did. You had an amazing result! Kind of jealous of you I bet. Too bad she didn't show you some love!
