Hi .. just this really … I’m on a train with my little surgery bag … waiting for it to sink in .. I managed to convice myself it’s only a consultation at 7:45 tomorrow.
Expecting panic to set in any time 😬

Any positive thoughts,advice, experiences super appreciated…

I posted about this some weeks ago, i hope i don’t come across as an attention seeker,It’s just a good place when you need advice/ support/ ears.

Thank you 💓

Are you in instagram? Look at the consultant clinic. The owner’s friend has just had a facelift and she’s chatting her daily progress. Good luck!

Best of luck. I was having one a couple of months ago but was turned down because Im anaemic. Im just waiting for an iron transfusion then Ill reapply.
I hope it all goes brilliantly and you love the result.

Good luck! I haven’t had surgery to my face but I had a tummy tuck which was very major, and I’ve been thrilled with results. It changed my life in every way I can think of.

Just stay calm and enjoy the nap 😁

Let us know how you get on!

Best wishes to you! I had major jaw surgery 20 years ago and all I remember was them having me breathe in a mask, which I thought they were just checking if it fit. 😆 You will be fine and you will be completely recovered in no time at all. 🌷

ClaredeBear · 07/07/2026 18:14

Just think, you’ll wake up 10 min later and it will all be over! Take your recovery one day at a time but you’ll be surprised how quickly you’ll be up and about.

MrsPerfect12 · 07/07/2026 18:17

Oooh exciting! Wishing you all the best. Will we get to see some photos?
Can I ask how old you are and what are you most looking forward to seeing change?

Elieza · 07/07/2026 18:52

how exciting. all the best for your recovery.
we look forward to the pics in due course (just block out any identifying features if you want to stay anonymous)!

Totally natural. The surgeon had to call me the night before before I had a wobble. That was a breast enlargement. All the usual things, felt it was suddenly unnecessary, spending money on myself etc. Best thing I did. I feel loads better. The healing will go in a flash. Good luck x

Stuckoncrossroads · 08/07/2026 00:28

Thank you so much for your posts, they did make me feel positive and even had a bit of a laugh (the checking if the mask fits 😆- love that!). Yes, I’ll have my third consultation in the morning and if I’m lucky I might persuade him to do my facetenance right there and then . No wait. How lucky!
Thank you again. I feel less alone because of you all 💓

Bon chance! You have got this! 💪🏼💐

Stuckoncrossroads · 08/07/2026 07:21

All ready to go- bizarrely calm-Still in denial 😆
I took the most unflattering photos and thought .. yeah…go girl… go ..5 years ago… 😆
I was supposed to find the instagram diary at The Consultant Clinic, ended up watching recipes 😂 ( @Reportingfromwherever what’s the name of that lady documenting her journey? There are so many posts there - I’m clearly a bit useless too 😬).

(My daughter just said I have a beautiful face 🥹 bless, I feel bad for putting her through the anxiety / wait ).

Thank you all . I will be back. 😊

It’s all in the most recent posts AND there is something most days in stories.
Best of luck OP - I’m so jealous!

EstherGreenwood63 · 08/07/2026 12:53

@Reportingfromwherever I binged it last night. Fascinating.

It is, isn’t it? The owner has also been very open about her facelift. It’s worth scrolling back for that too!

I’d love a lower facelift but I think I’m probably too much of a wimp and tightfisted.
However, there was a poster in here some time back (Damedoom) who had a lower facelift and it was incredible. It’s much less invasive than a full one and would do wonders for
my neck and jowls. It did make me seriously wonder about doing it….

Stuckoncrossroads · 08/07/2026 18:34

Hi ladies

Im out..face like a baby’s bum& high as a kite - what more would a girl want?!

Expect all to go downhill from here the next few days 😆

Thank you for the love - you are all stars ✨

Yay! Well done you. Put your feet up. X

LaurieFairyCake · 08/07/2026 18:48

Well done, hope you get a fantastic result. Bear in mind it takes weeks for the swelling etc to go down FlowersFlowersFlowers

How are you feeling OP? Have you been able to sleep? Remember, it gets better each day!

EstherGreenwood63 · 09/07/2026 22:47

@Reportingfromwherever That lady's results just one week in are phenomenal!
@Stuckoncrossroads Hope you're not too sore.
