A Facelift Story
I had a face-lift and I was very pleased with the results and wouldn't hesitate to do it again. The surgery took about under three hours to complete.
My recovery time was very short. I planned on three weeks but within five days I was able to go outside with a small scarf around my neck. I had very little bruising. I was religious about keeping the ice packs on, which is very important. I feel that, even though I was a little puffy, I probably could have gone back to work after seven days but I had 20 years of sick time accumulated so I took advantage of it.
Going under the knife takes courage but the results are well worth it. I chose not to keep my surgery a secret. I'm a poor liar and I had this fear that my nose would start to grow and.... I had the surgery performed so that I could look my best. I'm in sales; I've owned my own company for 23 years. My face and smile (I also had my teeth whitened.) are two of my greatest assets. I considered the expense an investment. So what if people know about it! What difference does it make? I'm proud that I have a face worth lifting :)
