I am healing from my surgery, almost 5 weeks since I had a facelift. I didn't even need pain pills cuz there was no pain! I see major improvement along my jawline and neck and improvement in my lower face. Differently worth it!! Back to work in 7 days. Hardly any bruising. So glad I did it!

My face, neck lift, and fat transfer is scheduled for November 9, a month from today. I am so nervous I don’t feel like eating. I’m scared but I’m doing this anyway.

I don't get it - she has beautiful before video and no after video and pictures. Where are they. Zero point of video without both before and after.

How long of recovery before looking lime a normal face... not that stretched look?

BS. Not ready for public viewing for at least 5 weeks, but still lots of tightness and swelling. Honestly, you will need a good 2 months or more, before looking normal.
