Updated Pics of Costa Rican Facelift...

Just added pictures from day ten and eleven of my post-facelift recovery to my original thread if anyone is interested in taking a look. I get my stitches out tomorrow. Still some swelling and bruising, but overall a great recovery so far. I'm loving my results. The new pics are at the end of this thread...

Wow, you are the youngest looking 52 year old I've ever seen. Can I be you when I grow up? :D I can't wait to see your before pictures. Even your bruised pictures are stunning.

Lol, thanks. I'm headed to get my stitches out in a couple of hours. It's been so much fun getting to know the other patients who are staying at this recovery ranch, but I have to admit that I'm getting a little homesick, so I'm looking forward to getting back home soon. You won't understand why I'm so thrilled with my results until you see my before pictures. I have some here on my camera phone, but I just want to wait until I get home so I can post the ones that I took with the same camera as the afters. I'll get them up before Friday. Thanks for writing.

I can'tt wait to see you once the swelling is gone.  You already look great, and it is easy to see you will look phenomenal once you fully heal.

Thanks, Dasie. I'm so happy with my results at just ten days out. Can't wait to get out of bed in the morning and see the changes. I'm MUCH less bruised this morning, and that's great. On the way to get my stitches out this morning. I always hate getting stitches out, but he's been doing them in stage and no pain yet. I have quite a few stitches under my hairline. No way I can rock the bald look after this surgery, lol. Many of the ladies were surprised at the extent of the stitching required for a face and forehead lift. I was prepared, but have to admit that it's and extensive surgery. I was also surprised at the lack of pain. It's been an easly recovery so far. I'll send you and email when I get back home to my regular computer. Talk to you later.

You look beautiful.  Congratulations on a great surgery!

Thanks for the kind words, Tess!

wow...can't wait until the before pics are posted this week.  Congrats and speedy recovery.
