It's just that I could see subtle things going on in my face, and I've always been a very vain woman, I guess you could say, and I've never really looked my age. I mean, even before I had the surgery, most people didn't have any idea how old I was. They lopped off a lot of years off my age, but I was aware of it. So, I was always considered to be pretty, and at times, beautiful, I guess. I had moments in my life, so that was pushing that train mightily. I mean, a woman doesn't know-- has nothing concrete to hold on to, especially a woman that society or she perceives as being pretty in this world we live in, how your body changes when you become post-menopausal. I mean, there are a lot of changes. You just have no sense of it until it becomes concrete, and I saw that. I mean, right up until I was 55, I could actually still wear Daisy Dukes and look good in them, damn fine! My legs and stuff! But after 55, certain areas, gravity and everything, start ticking off, and I could see that more reflective in my face. I just, I couldn't do it. I just couldn't do it.

So, I sort of went shopping, and I saw several other doctors, and they gave me estimates. But actually, there was a brochure in the newspaper. Doctor Sessa had an advertisement in there. And I called him and came up, and he immediately put me very much at ease. I was very comfortable with him. It's like I say about my doctor up north. He gives good bedside. He's kind of, how I kind of think of him, kind of cuddly kind of guy you know? And he's obviously very knowledgeable. And he just made me comfortable. It wasn't just the price, which was good, but just his manner. I felt real good with him.

After talking with him initially, I had made up my mind to go ahead with the procedure when I walked out of here. I didn't have to think about anything. I mean, I was okay with doing it and that I would be in good hands and that he was the guy to do it. The whole support staff that he had working here at the time, the nurses, anesthesiologist, they all came in and talked to me before he put me under. I just felt like I was in safe hands.

These people were concerned. They were knowledgeable, they were professional, they knew what they were supposed to do. I had absolutely no anxiety relative to that. I put my-- it's like, say, Allstate. In good hands. I put myself in good hands here with Doctor Sessa and his staff. I felt good about it.

There is no scarring. There's nothing for me to elaborate on. There is no scarring. I hate to use the word empowerment in this sense. I don't know. It may sound a little trite or cliche or something, but maybe it does give me that again, that I felt was slipping as I, as I grew older. Maybe it does give me that. Hey, look, there is nothing I like better than to throw on a pair of shorts or a little slip dress and my hair blowing in the wind when I get out of the car walking, hey, listen, you can't tell me nothing. And that face does that. It actually does. Yes, it empowers me. It gives me a little more self-confidence.

If you're in a position financially that you can afford to go ahead with this, do it, because you're gonna be carrying this face around for the rest of your days. And if you're gonna do it, please, please come and see Doctor Sessa, because he's the man.
