I had the lower face lifestyle lift, neck liposuction, and upper eyelid lift. The surgery, while awake and alert, was a breeze. The first 2 weeks of recovery was pretty rough with the swelling and some bruising. After that, recovery wasn't too bad. I went back to work after 2 1/2 weeks from the day of surgery. I work with doctors and nurses. Only one nurse asked if I had had a face lift. She's one of my close friends. She should have noticed. The others asked if I had lost weight, changed my hair, etc. The all said I looked great! My husband said I look like I did 15 years ago. It's all been worth it. I'm 5 weeks out now and there is a little redness on the where the scars are, but they are fading since I started using the Mederma.

How did your lower facelift come out. I hope you are ok. Am thinking about the Lsl but without the eyelift. Can u tell me if your jaw line looks alot better and is the bruising by your eyes or lower face? Many thanks for your input and good, good luck to you on your procedure

I am 3-1/2 weeks into my LSL. I had the lower lift w/o the eyes. I look wonderful. My neck is very defined and smooth, the beginning of jowels are are gone along with the folds around my smile lines. My jawline is beautiful. I still am healing around my ears, however, there are no scar lines, just still hard ande somewhat numb to the touch. I will be wearing the chin strap at night for another week and I still ice under my chin but these are all normal things which must be done with any plastic surgery procedures. I absolutely have no memory of the needles or the operation from the time I was placed in the tilting chair until it was over. No pain whatsoever. There was down time for me of about two weeks, however, I looked great after 6 days. I had my procedure done in the Ft.Lauderdale center and my doctor and the staff were all extremely nice and caring. I go back for my final appointment the beginning of November and have my after pictures taken. I have been reading some of the negatives written and in my wildest dreams, cannot imagine any of them being true. Good Luck to you,

This is to the woman who had the lifestyle lift with upper eyelid surgery. I'm scheduled to have this done in less than 2 weeks and feeling quite apprehensive & nervous. Can you please give me more info on your procedure particularly the eye portion? Also, do you have any pictures (before & after)
Thank you....Susan
