I had noticed over a period of time that my jowls started to drop, and I would look in the mirror, and it didn't look like me. I started to look a lot older than I was feeling, and my face looked tired. The lines around the mouth here were getting really deep. And so, I wanted to get rid of all of that. I wanted to feel a little younger, a little fresher, and I chose to have a lift. So, I started to look around, and I saw two or three different seminars in town, and then I chose Doctor Sessa. The cost and the down time and the results are what I wanted after discussing it with him, and that's what we chose, chose to work with him. The recovery time was terrific. It was about a week of actual down time. I didn't leave the house. I used ice packs and whatnot to reduce the swelling and for comfort as well. I didn't take any medication, any pain meds at all. It was not a painful experience. Within a week, I was back to work. The swelling was gone, and I didn't have very much at all of discoloring from bruising, so I looked pretty good at a week and went back to work. And I stopped and actually looked at my face and realized, the creases had decreased considerably, and the overall face looked a lot more awake, and I looked like I was refreshed, and I had a really good night's sleep. My fear was, you know, one of the fears I went into this with was that, you know, sometimes I see people, and their face looks a little stretched out and my fear was, what if that happens to me? The reality is it didn't look and doesn't look stretched at all. When I got an understanding as to what the doc had actually done, he did more work with the muscles under the skin than he did with the actual stretching of the skin, so the results were better than I could have anticipated. At 2 weeks, I had-- it was really terrific. At 2 weeks, I had dinner with my 39-year-old daughter, and I hadn't told her that I was having a mini-lift or what he calls a Smart Lift. And we had dinner together, and she never even noticed that I had anything done. The one thing she mentioned to me was that I looked pretty good with the extra couple pounds I had put on. But other than that, there wasn't a comment from her regarding the work being done. She didn't notice it. We didn't talk about it, and that was pretty exciting.

I was particularly pleased with the amount of scarring. I'm bald, basically. And you know, within 2 weeks' time, it was hard to see that I had had any work done. And here I am today at 8 weeks, and I don't believe it's visible at all. What I've heard from others, and it's all a direct result of the surgery that I had done, is that I look rested, that I look good, that I look healthy. And no one's noticed that I had some work done, which just adds to it. I get a smile on the inside when someone says, "Gee, you're looking pretty good lately." You know, that's kind of nice.

Are people THAT blind?! You can notice the result on the jaw line and neck area which looks a lot firm than b4.

Looks pretty much the same to me. He probably should have had a brow and mid lift with lower bleph, to really get noticeable results. But, hey, if he's happy with it then good for him.
