If you've had a facelift, which type did you have and why?

[JackOrMeryl]

I'm thinking of having a facelift in a couple of years. My menopause has started (still have periods every now and again) so I'm waiting for my periods to stop and then get it done (as advised by a couple of surgeons I have spoken to).

There are so many different types of facelift around (deep plane, lower face & neck, ponytail, etc) so I'm looking for first-hand feedback of what people have had done, why, and whether they are happy with the results. I know it's a very individual decision but I'm looking for a starting point. Thanks!

Oh dear, sounds a bit weird!!😐

Very, I thought this forum was about giving one another advice, and sharing information. To help.

Very bizarre behaviour lol.

Well I'm getting a mummy makeover early next year, mini tummy tuck, breast lift, areola reduction (breastfeeding was not kind to my breast lol) and implants.

So if anyone is interested after I have it done next year you're welcome to PM me lol.

That's a weird and unnecessarily aggressive response, maybe the facelift didn't work out very well after all😬
Good luck with your makeover😇

What's a mini tummy tuck?! I've got thing thanks to pregnancy where your stomach muscles separate, c section over hang and a lovely massive hernia, would love to have all sorted in one go!!

That what I was thinking lol. And thank you 😊

A mini tummy tuck is when it's just the front of your stomach, not all the way around.

Yes I have the same as you when it comes to the stomach muscles separating and the c-section scar over hang. I'm having all of that fixed during the operation. It doesn't cost extra, thankfully

I wanted to wait until next year as well so I could stop smoking which I have 🥳 40 days without a cigarette, and get into better shape, tone up and such.

Everything that will help with recovery.

I remember watching one of those makeover plastic surgery shows years and years ago, one women had a hernia and the plastic surgeon said they could remove it during the tummy tuck.

But the NHS should do that for you anyway.

That is sounds amazing I’m considering some procedures and have been looking at Turkey Would you mind sharing the name of the surgeon /clinc ?

It is good internet etiquette to ask before PMing. But not everyone knows this. And some people are unnecessarily weird about it, I don't think it warranted that harsh response!

Hi Sarahlou122 I asked the same question re her surgery and got the same rude reply I was so shocked that someone could be so unpleasant as I had also thought this was supposed to be a source of support conversation and information for women by women

I wonder if she messaged @NorthFaceofthelaundrypile with the name?

I wondered the same thing

@damedoom had a thread about her lower facelift. She had amazing results. Her surgeon was Nick Rhodes if I recall correctly.

Why boast about the price of your facelift and then refuse to share the name of the surgeon and troll those who ask? That @DirrrtyMartini is either on the wrong forum or attention seeking.

I totally agree @BellesAndGraces . Very strange behaviour indeed

I think it was attention seeking. I doubt they even had a facelift.

That's why they never respond to anyone on this thread asking for details, and then was rude to anyone the Pm her.

I figured I would PM as the person never responded to multiple messages inquiring about who the surgeon was.

Thanks for letting me know the etiquette though, next time I will ask in the thread first x.

Same, at least it's not personal. She's a B to everyone 😂

Yes, I am with MYA clinic in london and my surgeon is Mr Samouris.

I'm getting super excited to finally have it done. I'm been getting in shape and toning in preparation for the surgery. Pilates and 10miles of speed walking with weights 5 days a week.

I've been avoiding buying clothes until after the surgery, I'm so excited to not have the excess skin bump.

Omg you must be so excited ! Good luck !

Yep a thoroughly unpleasant person 🧍‍♂️

Is @DirrtyMartini still online ?

I just broke mumsnet rules read the thread!
Seems she was a bad one!

Anyone had a more recent facelift wants to share information that would be wonderful.

I don’t trust online reviews … half seem made up. So I want real people…

Hi there,

please can you PM me the name of your surgeon.

many thanks

@Bucketoftwohorns glad you are happy with the result! Who did you have the procedure with if I may ask?

@F349 Ive DM’d you.
