Neck and Lower Face Lift – Asheville, NC

I have a neck and lower face lift scheduled for...
WORTH IT$6,400
I have a neck and lower face lift scheduled for April 15th and I am just now starting to get both very excited and a bit scared. I've never had any sort of surgery.
Since I live in another town, Dr Harley called me to discuss any issues or concern I had about the procedure. Both he and his staff have been very kind and more than helpful since I made the decision to have the procedure.
Each day, as the date gets closer, I look in the mirror at my wrinkly old neck and jowls and again- I get so very excited to have this done, finally, and terrified of what all the procedure and the aftermath might entail!

Two weeks out and I am VERY nervous today. I had my hair cut this afternoon and made sure she cut it so that it would fringe my face well so as to hide my scars. I have to return to work exactly 14 days after the procedure! I teach teenagers and they will gladly announce it if they notice the scars.
I've been reading my pre-op instructions over and over and going through reviews and pictures of similar procedures this evening. Rationally I know everything will be ok, but I still am experiencing a lot of anxiety right now.
I turn 45 next Thursday, and then have my surgery the following Tuesday. This is a good thing. I should be excited! Instead, I am second guessing myself and thinking of all the possible problems that could arise.
I'm just being silly... right? Every time I looked in the mirror while getting my hair cut, I just couldn't wait to be free of this jiggly wiggly neck and jowls.
These pics were taken 3 days before I had my Botox and Restalyne. You can see the banding and all the excessive skin. yuck.

As I add this I know it is now 8 months since your procedure and you look fantastic. I am now trying to decide should I or shouldn't I? This is so damn scary - it's surgery arghhhh. Going through the second guessing period fluctuating between yes and no. My friend has offered to help wheee that is a big concern off my overloaded plate. I get so tired trying to figure out everything. So all your feelings are what everyone else goes through. I'm attempting to eat better than I ever have and not think about surgery because when I do I get stressed and that equals food not to mention more lines in my face LOL

I'm glad you're here starting your story with us! Surgery can be frightening, especially if you've never had it before. What are you the most nervous about? Maybe isolating that and addressing it will help your nerves.

I'm nervous that something will go wrong and I'll wish I hadn't done it.
Then I look in the mirror and see that neck and know it's what I want. I also have total faith in my surgeon, but things can always go wrong, and it's my face we're talking about. I kinda like my face ;)
