MissO I note that you said you were vaccinated. Fully? ie 2 shots? I presume you had AstraZeneca? Too difficult and scary as to which one to have. Astra has killed 32 in the UK. I mean they say it's rare but it's Russian Roulette, how do you know you're not going to be one of the 32? Blood clots has killed 3 Australian women so far, one is their 30's, 50's and 60. Then with Pfizer there's heart inflammation problems. Grrr

Hi @Transformation2021, I took 1 dose of HCQ before the AZD and still got side effects but would have been much worse without. My daughter took 2 doses of HCQ before Pfizer and had no side effects. I am not going to take a booster in the fall. Too scared.
 
@MissOrange Wow! You are looking good! Your nasolabial folds are gone after the FL! You look so young now! Wow!!! Do update us on your progress again!
Hi @Fortunecat, as long as you are not tired of all my selfies! Lol. Here are some from this afternoon! The incisions are healing fast! Can’t wait to doll up. Getting my hair blow dried on Monday so may try on some makeup after, ie the red lipstick test!

That's such a bad job. And look at the horrible scars! OMG.
Hi @Lien, I have noted that Brit ladies under 55 are being turned down for a full smas FL/NL or deep plane in the U.K.! Lucky I turned 55 this year so I could get a FL in the U.K.! This may be why Katie Price went to Turkey! She had threads at age 39 and then a full FL at 40. To think in Korea they will do full FLs and deep plane in ladies 30+!

I just looked up Katie Price bc I didn’t know who she was. Her recent work in Turkey looks pretty bad. I wonder why she elected to do a horizontal lift. From your pix and experience, it looks like a vertical lift is the only way to go! Thanks so much for sharing your pix and experience.

Day 6 and the incisions are healing fast. Soon there will be no telltale signs I ever had a FL. My surgeon has been busy! He just did a brow and midface lift under local on U.K. Instagram blogger Claire Hobson yesterday! She has posted graphic surgery photos and posted videos of her loose skin before surgery and tight face after. She then drove home after the surgery! Amazing.

Tip for those getting facelifts. Do NOT lose weight after a facelift or your skin will sag more than before surgery. Make sure you are already at your optimum weight.

@MissOrange, thank you soooooo much for posting all the details and pictures, which are all incredibly informative. You're healing very nicely, very nicely indeed! If it were me, I think it'd take like a month to get to where you are after 6 days. Is there anything special you're doing that's helping with the healing, other than drinking pineaapple juice and wearing the eBay mask? Your swelling and brusing are practically non-existent! Incredible!! I am truly super happy for you. Your jaws and chin are beeaaaaauuuuutiful!!

Hi @Lien spoke too soon! Lol. Both yesterday and today I awoke to swollen cheeks. My hair stylist today asked me “why did you have this done?” And a sales assistant asked me if I was alright?! lol. Yep swollen boxer cheeks do not look good. I need to go back to my photos from Jan 2020 to see how many days my face was swollen and do a countdown to end of cheek swelling. Looks like on the days I took 20 mg of prednisolone, the swelling went down and on the days I did not it has come back. I don’t want to depend on steroids to deswell so will wait this out with intermittent ice packs. Freedom day in the U.K. is no longer free of masks so I can hide behind a face mask beyond July 19.

Today’s photos on day 7 are again just of the incisions as my cheeks are HUGE! Lol. The neck bruising is shrinking with arnica cream.
