To answer some questions.
I requested a neck lift and upper and lower bleph. I had a virtual consult with a Dr (not my surgeon) who agreed that was what was needed. But as time went on, (and I watched more videos), I started to wonder whether I had asked for the right thing!
I watched one video of a Dr in USA, saying how a lot of his patients wish they had done X,Y,Z after the fact, which got me thinking that maybe the surgeon should be telling me what he thinks I need (with his expertise).
This led to a phone convo with him on Tuesday, and I think we will sit down together in the morning and discuss before getting started.
For eg. I asked for the neck lift, which I know I need, but will this address the downturned mouth? Answer is, no, so there may be additional tweaking needed.
I only want to be in his chair once - unless it's 15 years later. So need to get this right.
Regards weight gain, I'm sure this has made my neck worse, and lipo might be needed in that area tomorrow. But even if I got back to my goal weight (10 stone), I know that I would have a turkey neck, because I can see the crinkly skin that seems to tether of a bit in the middle.
Defo don't want to look like a Kardashian, lol. I would love to just look like I have wiped out the ageing that's happened over the last 5-10 years.
I used to feel quite attractive, but feel anything but these days.
I feel like I'm being pushed along this path by an imaginary force. Sounds super weird, but I've felt like this before in my life when I've been making big decisions - when I got divorced, for eg. And I've always felt as though it's my Nanna behind me. Last night I dreamt that she was here and we were dancing and she was twirling me around. I think she's with me. Sounds crazy, I know!!
