My droopy jowl mini face lift result pics

I promised I would post pics of my mini-lift for others who were possibly considering it. I got out of theatre at 2.45 and the swelling is starting to kick in now. Surgeon said that is to be expected. Jowls gone along with burgeoning turkey neck.
Before and immediately after pics wrong way round obvs.
If anyone is interested, I am more than happy to share daily photos.

Ah okay. How much do both items cost you in total?

anxietrist · 30/07/2020 21:37

Can we have some more progress pics op?

WinnieLowCo · 31/07/2020 12:14

Are you getting your stitches out today?
Good luck.

DameDoom · 31/07/2020 13:22

Stitches out and surgeon really pleased with progress.Am still a little puffy, puckered and bruised but I managed to walk into town without attracting bemused glances.
This is now day ten and I think looks more than acceptable - have tucked hair behind ears so you can see the scars. They are much improved but still very visible.
Ignore the shine - am greased up in factor 50.

Looking great OP

Ihopeyourcakeisshit · 31/07/2020 14:17

You're looking really great DameDoom, you've healed so quickly. Did they say how long for the swelling/Pickering to finally subside?
You must be super chuffed at the result and thanks again for being brave enough to post.

LaGoulueRevenue · 31/07/2020 14:28

Bloody hell you look fab, OP.
Love your hair too, very elegant (sorry I know you weren't asking for opinions).

Clumsyduck · 31/07/2020 14:33

Wow what am amazing result op ! You look great !!

I didn’t know a mini facelift was a thing ! Thanks for sharing

DameDoom · 31/07/2020 14:42

He said visible swelling should go down within another couple of weeks but that residual internal swelling could be a few months. He also said I’d be able to feel it but no one would be able to see it at all. The sides of my face are still numb and that will take a while to go.

you look great

still not sure what exactly procedure is

is it cutting excess skin & stitching back up??
please explain thank you

DameDoom · 31/07/2020 16:06

@hustler2020 - there is cutting and stitching but the underlying muscle is also pulled up vertically.

ok got you thank you !!
keep healing Flowers

BurtonHouse · 31/07/2020 16:12

Not rtf. Don't want to put a downer on this (you look great op), but I had this done about 3 years ago and was very happy with the result. Then I broke a rear molar and had to have 3 unsuccessful root canal procedures plus 3 trips to dental hospital. I could feel the pulling from my cheekbones to jaw and all the benefits were lost.

justanotherneighinparadise · 31/07/2020 17:43

WOW!!!!

zippityzip · 31/07/2020 17:52

I think that looks awesome. And your skin is great anyway so it'll look natural.

Pasghetti · 31/07/2020 17:54

It's a great result OP. Will the little dents from below your lip to your jawline fade?

DameDoom · 31/07/2020 18:29

@Pasghetti - no. I have always had them. He did say I could get them lipoed but they do not bother me in the slightest so I am sticking with them. Think they are because of my short chin but you can’t really see them when my face is moving in real life.
Thank you everyone for your kind comments - I certainly don’t regret getting this done.

Wow! You look amazing! People will think you somehow had a brilliant holiday.

Will you tell people or will you say " um, rest, and avocados 😳'

GhostCurry · 31/07/2020 21:07

You look great, OP.

justanotherneighinparadise · 31/07/2020 21:59

No wonder celebs look so great when they get good work. It’s miraculous 😮

anxietrist · 31/07/2020 23:25

It's amazing!! It would be so scary to get done but it's really paid off, you look fantastic

SomeoneInTheLaaaaaounge · 31/07/2020 23:46

I really appreciate this OP.

Great level of detail and you have helped so many of us by sharing this.

Really tempted to get it done myself.

You look fantastic.

Bumbl · 01/08/2020 00:01

You look fantastic and glowing!

bibbitybobbitycats · 01/08/2020 07:42

That's a brilliant result, you look at least 10 years younger.

GhostCurry · 01/08/2020 11:15

Hi OP, another question.

Do you feel that you now look like “you, 15 years ago”? Or do you look like a different version of you?
