scheduled for mid June
I had my preop appointment last week, and I'm all set for a lower face lift, neck lift, and endoscopic brow lift in a couple of weeks! I went back and forth between a Cleveland PS (local) and Dr. Sauceda, but in the end I was just too nervous about being away from home for so long (I have young kids) and having to go by myself and also had a little unexpected windfall that made up the difference in cost. Once my decision was made, I felt at peace with it.
I'm still about 15 lbs. out from goal, but he said it won't matter for the work I'm having done. For the body procedures, I'm waiting until the winter. I'm trying hard to get ready for a marathon in the fall, and although I feel like I can take a couple of weeks out of the schedule to recover from this procedure, if I tried to do the body work I would be laid up and out of training too long. Honestly, the lax skin on my face bothers me more than anything anyhow, because there's no covering it with clothing!

Good for you!! Face/neck work is definitely on my "to-do" list (someday).

Sounds like a great plan! I'm trying to decide what bothers me the most my neck or hanging skin on tummy. I think I have to go with tummy first though because it may be able to be covered by insurance. I get rashes nd have to show 6 months of treatments for rashes etc. I'm in the process of that right now.
Good Luck!!!
