Revision Update
WORTH IT$24,140
Last Monday (6 days ago) I had my revision. On the right eye, a little more skin was removed and he did two more cholesterol removals on each eye near the nose. So far the recovery has been uneventful. At the same time I did this I had some post-tummy tuck upper ab liposuction and most of the recovery has been related to that (which was a bit more painful than I expected). I had a lot of bruising particularly with the right eye. I am posting pics of the day after surgery and today . One thing not on either set of pics is that on my right cheek I had a huge bruise for a few days and a lot of swelling but it has mostly faded now. I still have bruising but it is OK. I am getting the stitches out on Tuesday.
While I can't tell a whole lot at this point I think that from what I can see so far the right eye is improved. I was happy with it overall but felt it still had some droopy skin. This revision seems to have taken care of that. Of course, I have to wait and see how it heals but it looks good so far.

Scheduled my revision
Went ahead and scheduled my revision for May 22. I will have a little more skin removed on the upper right eye and will have one more cholesterol deposit on my left eye removed. I will be doing some upper abdomen liposuction at the same time.

Good to see these updates; you look wonderful! I'm just 2 months out from a SMAS lift which I'm overall happy with but am hoping a few little issues that bug me will resolve. It's so hard to be patient!
A lot of the little things both on my face and my tummy tuck/breast lift did resolve in time. At 2 months out, for example, I had these really deep dimples that looked strange to me, but that really went away eventually (I still have slight dimples but they look fine). Patience is good (but hard)!
Thanks for that - it's encouraging :) The hard part, of course, is you don't know what will and what won't resolve. Some things don't matter as much but with the ones that do, it can be stressful. Anyway, appreciate your kind words! XO
I know. The issue on my right upper eye has bothered me for months but I had to wait it out. There were other things that did resolve so maybe that one would have. I just tried to keep it out of my mind while waiting. Easier said than done, of course....
You look fantastic!! And I love the hair!

Almost one year
I am just shy of one year since my surgery and had a follow up appointment today. Overall, I am still very happy with my surgery. I took some pics a few days ago and they they are good at showing where I am currently. I also attach a comparison with a pic taken a year ago and the differences are obvious.
During the last several months, I have been undergoing a series of Resurfx laser treatments and IPL to improve my skin. I do think this has been effective. The effects are fairly subtle but I can see that my skin tone is more even. I often find myself skipping foundation and just wearing some light tinted moisturizer. I have one more of those treatments to go.
I also recently had Botox redone. Last fall I also had Juvaderm done on the lines in my face and that has held up well.
I am going to have a small revision to my right eyelid. I have a bit more skin on outer upper part of the eye. I've noticed this a long time ago and I was basically watching to see if it improved. A lot of little things I was concerned about early on did resolve on their own. But, this one hasn't. I have a pic attached showing that.
Dr. Lyos said it would be an easy revision to do so I plan to do that. I also had a tummy tuck/breast lift last summer and I may do some upper abdominal liposuction. If I do, I will do the eyelid revision at the same time.
I am still overall very happy with the results. When I see the comparison to a year ago...well, there is no comparison.
