Your results are amazing! It must be great to wake up and feel good about yourself. . The changes when we age can be unwanted, esp if you don't age so well with jowls, sagging skin etc (which is me.. Looks like my lower face has given up already and I'm only early 40s!), to turn back the clock a little would be amazing. My husband isn't supportive of this for me at all, he says it's just vanity, not sure he realises how depressing it is when your face looks way older than you feel. Hopefully you had someone who supported you :)
It's hard not to have the support of your loved ones. I had to keep mine a secret from everyone. Why is "vanity" such a bad thing? As long as that's not all you're about, there's nothing wrong with wanting to restore and refresh your face. I bet yoyr husband does maintenance on his car!
cindy hardy thank you. It is always hard to find the time to do procedures especially with little children. But I’m a firm believer that every few years the tires need to be rotated. 😄
Hi. You look amazing not just because of the surgery but the glow that I can see on your face. Who is plastic surgeon and how much did it cost You? How long was your healing period after surgery with the stitches and the bruising?
Hi! My surgeon has since retired. His name was Dr Michael Whetstone. It’s been a few years but I think the cost was between $17k-$22k USD. If you watch my other videos, I document the healing and bruising. I would say I felt pretty good at the 3 week mark, best at the 3 month mark, and could see final results at about a year. I am very pleased.
I saw ur before pics and how u looked while filming before surgery...i thought u looked great and didnt need work done, but u look good after surgery too...glad it turned out well...
L Taurus thank you! Well I’m a big believer in small tweeks sooner and not waiting too long and having to pull a lot. By doing the facelift and neck lift now vs later I still looked like me in the end. Good luck!
Wendy Perryman awe thank you! I have so much hair...fine but lots of it. I do use a round brush to lift at the roots when I dry my hair straight, then I like to use a hot tool like a curling iron or hot rollers just for a few minutes to give my hair bounce. I did hair for 30 years & owned an agency that represented hair and makeup artists for video, film and print. Doing hair and makeup on celebrities was my passion. Now I just do my own hair! Ha!
I’m 41 and having a facelift and neck lift next month. My “before” is very similar to yours and I’ll be thrilled if my results are as good as yours. I also have sunken-ish eyes and I’m wondering how yours were improved during facelift. Did you also get lower eyelid surgery? I’m so impressed with how good your scars look after just a few weeks!
Good luck with your procedure! I didn’t have lower eyelid surgery but have used filler options in the tear trough area that helped. Only special ophthalmologist perform this filler. I’m still happy after all these years and even with some weight gain it still has held nicely. All my best for you to have a speedy recovery!
I look ok but don't understand the endless fillers etc.; I would have a minor face lift and also upper eyelids and have done with it. You look BEAUTIFUL, before and after but I get it. Tx for wonderful post. I live in Toronto and did some research into the most reliable plastic surgeons; it's an investment certainly. I think age is a state of mind, but being fit and feeling attractive and alive helps too. Tx so much!!! (PS this is meaningless but your vlog posted on my 64th birthday … got me thinking …)
You look beautiful. If you ever felt like having your hair pulled back tight you could have the neck lift scars tatooed cosmetically. Once dark they would naturally blend into your hair. Just a thought. Thanks for sharing.
You are incorrect on the differences between the facelifts...an SMAS is superficial and deep plane is just that, involves the underlying muscles...."The deep plane facelift reduces the appearance of an aging face and neck. It removes excess skin but also tightens and reshapes the underlying musculature" "The SMAS facelift is a superficial facelift. Surgeons developed this technique as a less invasive alternative to traditional facelift surgery. It shows significant improvements aesthetically, giving more natural results"
Thanks for your comment. I had to look up the differences between the two. So from what I read…deep plane moves in one unit where as SMAS moves it in two units (skin being separate from the muscles). Also SMAS can be multi directional where as deep plane is one direction. I’m sure there are benefits using these various techniques that doctors can best to advise as to which one would benefit the patient the most. It is amazing all the new ways to lift the face that are developed or in development. Can’t wait to see what will happen in the future!
Hi there from Australia! Thank you for posting this video. You look fabulous. Can you please tell me where the other person in the comments saw your full before and after footage? Your channel says there are no other videos... Also, do you have full feeling in your face again? I have a phobia of nerve damage, and very few people seem to touch on this subject (pun there was seriously not intended! 🙄) I look forward to seeing more of your experience, hopefully xxx
Thx for sharing , you look great . What procedure did your Dr use under your chin ? Did he tighten the platysma bands and defat your under neck area ? Normally they open a line under the chin for this ….TY for your clarification ❤
It was called a SMAS face and neck lift. I have scars under my chin and around by ears and on lower back of head. It’s been several years now. Results still look good even with significant weight gain and loss…again. Ha!
Nazish S. Only thing that bothered me were my ears when I would lay down to sleep. Also turning side to side was difficult the first few weeks. No other issues.
Many thanks for sharing your face lift experience with us, you do look beautiful and the muscles of your face look so perfectly re positioned, what about the scares at the back of your head, are they the results of your neck lift? May I ask if you have consulted several plastic surgeons before making your decisions? Did it cost you over 10 000 USD for the face and neck lift and liposuction you talk about? One last question about the specificity of this type of face lift, does this mean you could I have chosen not to have your face muscles lifted but only the skin? Thanks again, you are really beautiful and your joy and fulfillment are like the sun in the sky , enjoy!
AVERYCK77 I wanted the SMAS facelift where they move the muscles, otherwise you’re just laying skin across a saggy surface. Yes neck lift, facelift and liposuction on stomach was well over $12,000 maybe more it’s been a while and I honestly don’t remember. I talked to 3 doctors and happy with the one I selected. Yes my scars are from the neck lift. They don’t bother me. I’ve always had an issue with my skin wanting to keloid. There were scars around my ears from facelift that you can’t see at all now. Good luck!
Wow! The result is emaizing. I would like to make the face lift for me too. Can you tell me how much did you paid for ? I live in Germany and nobody here makes so beautiful face lift. Thank you so much for sharing your Experience.
My doctor has retired. It was Dr. Michael Whetstone in Irving (Las Colinas) Texas. The cost was around $18k-$22k but that was a few years ago and I’m not 100% sure.
I am 47 years old. I had done several rounds of IVF. The medication side effects causes the elasticity of the skin to deplete. I had lots of sagging skin around my neck and jawline. I’m also a firm believer to do procedures sooner than later. It prevents so much being done and drastically changing one’s appearance. I didn’t want to look “done” I wanted to look like me but refreshed.
Greetings. You may have already shared this information, but I'm seeing your video for the first time, who did your facelift? I'm 50 in October, and I would really like to do this.
It felt numb for a long time while the nerves came back. My throat tho felt like I had on a tight turtle neck but only if I thought about it. It took a while till I could turn to from side to side…maybe a week or two.
Hello mam....i m ur new subscriber from india U look very beautiful mam Actually i have a question... I lost almost 23 kgs in last 10 months.. Now i can see sagginess and loose skin kn my face... Especially forhead... My age Is just 28 I consulted wid a surgeon... He suggested face lift. Mam my question is that are there any side effects Is this procedure permanent... And how much safe is browlift? Plzz reply mam Help me!!
Tripti Gena Hi! I had issues at your same age with my forehead and sagging skin. I did a brow lift and took the excess skin from my eyelids in a separate procedure when I was 28 and at 35 years old. The brow lift was the hardest surgery to date to recover from. But, the results were wonderful. The eyelids was hands down the easiest procedure to date (I felt like I could’ve gone shopping that afternoon if it hadn’t been for swelling and bruising). Make sure you research all doctors and do multiple consultations. Ask people you know who they have gone to. Good luck!
@@modfablux4496 thank u so much for replying mam... May god bless u... Mam i m from india...i m really not sure about how perfect are plastic surgeons here...(sorry for my bad English) Mam i have just 2 more questions in my mind...if u can answer.... 1) is there visible scars after brow lift or forhead lift.?????..and also there will be hair loss??? 2)is it ok to have face lift and forhead lift together....

I m so stressed... I cry many times bcoz of loose skin at such an early age... I need my confidence back.. I wana go for forhead and facelift... But scared of the procedure Plzz answer mam...
hotpink000 SMAS Facelift. I wanted a doctor who was an artist, one who had a great reputation for his procedures, and one that would be available if I ran into any issues. I loved that he was conservative when it came to surgery. And, I had used him before and felt comfortable.
Incredibly beautiful natural looking results😊

Just curious if the surgery was due to age or just personal reasons. You just had a baby so obviously your not old
I am 47 years old. I had done several rounds of IVF. The medication side effects causes the elasticity of the skin to deplete. I had lots of sagging skin around my neck and jawline. I’m also a firm believer to do procedures sooner than later. It prevents so much being done and drastically changing one’s appearance. I didn’t want to look “done” I wanted to look like me but refreshed.
How do I find a good surgeon in Wisconsin?

Where do you live and are you still interested in finding a doctor?
no one would ever notice or comment on the scars tbh.
My question to you is does your face feel weird while it's healing does it feel out of place or stretched or tight
It felt numb for a long time while the nerves came back. My throat tho felt like I had on a tight turtle neck but only if I thought about it. It took a while till I could turn to from side to side…maybe a week or two.

I lost almost 23 kgs in last 10 months..
Now i can see sagginess and loose skin kn my face... Especially forhead...
My age Is just 28
I consulted wid a surgeon... He suggested face lift.
Mam my question is that are there any side effects
Is this procedure permanent...
And how much safe is browlift?
Plzz reply mam
Help me!!
Tripti Gena Hi! I had issues at your same age with my forehead and sagging skin. I did a brow lift and took the excess skin from my eyelids in a separate procedure when I was 28 and at 35 years old. The brow lift was the hardest surgery to date to recover from. But, the results were wonderful. The eyelids was hands down the easiest procedure to date (I felt like I could’ve gone shopping that afternoon if it hadn’t been for swelling and bruising). Make sure you research all doctors and do multiple consultations. Ask people you know who they have gone to. Good luck!
Tripti Gena congratulations on the weight loss that is amazing!!

They never show when facelifts go wrong which they do often. Make it seem so easy!!

Think it depends on skin. I had mine done at age 44.
