Face-lift questions

Well I never thought I'd be seriously thinking about doing a face-lift but here I am.
I've discussed options with my surgeon but would love some input from you guys who have "been there, done that".
My surgeon is recommending a Mid face lift, lower bleph and has just added the brow lift.
I don't want to look "fake" or like I'm permanently startled
If you had a face-lift are you happy you did it?
Any regrets?
Any recommendations on what I need to do to prepare for pre/post op??
Thanks a bunch!!!
Sometimes I think about a tiny bow lift to just to lift the tail of my brow and eyelids but also don't want that surprised look so put that on hold for a few more years (I'm 46).
I haven't seen a close up of your face so can't comment on your need but I just had some deep laugh lines and a little bit of jowls nothing major and the mini lift is for someone like me.

Pictures will be great if you have time but I understand if you are busy.
Hi, Moosie!
I had a face lift last year and I love it. I had a brow lift, upper and lower bleph, neck lift, and face lift, but I can't remember what kind - not a lot of cutting, though, mainly behind the ears and a few incisions in the scalp.
When I went in he suggested a brow lift, which I hadn't even thought about. You really cannot even tell. I look 15 years younger but I don't look pulled, if you know what I mean. My eyes look great and I don't look so tired any more. The browlift is definitely worth it. I say go for it!
My doctor does it on an outpatient basis but you could spend the night in the hospital if you paid for it. I would highly recomend it as I didn't remember anything until the next morning!

I am having a mini facelift on Feb 8th,
I need to get Carpal Tunnell done & my PS can do it so since I have a covered procedure it will be less to get the facelift done at the same time. I would like to get the browlift but I am afraid it would change my looks.
whatever you do don't get that silhouette(thread lift) I have seen some results on people and you can see the pullin thread under their skin, sometimes it turns out good & sometimes it doesn't
Good Luck to you
