    I had a mommy makeover (lipo360, tummy tuck, and breast reduction). I'm a mom of 4. I think talking about and being transparent about plastics is so important and I tell everyone about my surgeries if they compliment me. People can be sooooo catty and weird about it and honestly, I just don't understand. I think that the whole air of secrecy around plastic surgery is so unnecessary and harmful. Setting up young people with unrealistic expectations and also to feel the need to compare themselves negatively to others without context.
    What you're doing is great, thank you for talking about it. I think I'm order for people to be more open and accepting to plastic surgery and cosmetic procedures we have to talk about it more.

(of course, both were necessary for the best interest of the child... nobody come for me, now). I do wish i could get my tummy done but I'm 56, probably in the best shape of my life and everything but my stomach is ... THE REASON I'M SINGLE (yeah that's it... that's it... lol and no boobs too? Damn Damn Damn!! In all seriousness, I wish I could have done that because I really love wearing cute clothes but this tummy is..blech. wait this isn't about me!! If you can handle a vaginal delivery, a c section is just extra time off from work (as if that's enough time anyway.... heartbreaking) but don't be afraid.

    Blepharplasty - best thing I’ve ever done!
    My only regret is that I didn’t have it done years earlier. Pre-surgery I always looked tired and people would ask if I was “okay?” (meaning I looked grumpy, mad, or generally unhappy). No eye makeup ‘tricks’ really made much of a difference. I had a 40 minute procedure with just local anesthesia at the site. I took 2 weeks off work until the sutures were removed - did look a bit swollen and bruised under my eyes for 5 or 6 days but had good instructions how to manage that - it wasn’t as bad as I had expected actually. The price was more reasonable than I had expected as well. Since it is hereditary in my family (both parents) all my siblings are on-board with getting the procedure done as well, largely due to the good outcome I had. I am happy to tell people that I had the procedure done because I think the stigma about openly talking about procedures we’ve had keeps others in the dark who would perhaps like to have something similar done. I definitely agree that information and expectations are important - my scars are a bit more visible to me than I would have liked, plus I have some hypervascularity (purplish lids), but on balance these are small things compared to the overall improvement I’ve experienced (plus I can use concealer/eye shadow as necessary).

    • @PENNSMITHSKINCARE

    • @CR-wq8jx
      @CR-wq8jx 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      @@CurlyoginiWellness I'd say that I 'needed it' by my mid-late 40's but unfortunately waited until my mid 50's to get it done because I was a little apprehensive - thought it was a big expensive procedure. In retrospect I wish I had avoided feeling self-conscious about my eyes for several years by having it done earlier - so I guess your decision may depend on how self-conscious you are about it and what a medical consultant can tell you about the pros and cons of waiting. If I require an additional procedure to tighten things up again down the road I'll have it. My father had blepharplasty at 70 and a couple of years later had an eyebrow lift - so there is more than just one procedure to consider if necessary, depending on what the exact issue is. I hope this is helpful.

Sooo many people look in the mirror and don’t like little things that they see. I say heck yeah that we live in a time where you can get them fixed! Even if you have to scrimp and save for twenty years, you can fix it. I love the stories so much! God bless💕🙏🏻

I had a very problematic Turkey neck that is now gone along with some other facelift benefits. I’m able to be out and about no problem with concealer. I have wasted so much money on non evasive procedures. This out come has been amazing. But, you definitely have to be 💯 confident with your surgeon. Don’t rush into it.

    You did a great job explaining and documenting your surgery journey. I had the same procedures about 7 years ago when I was 66. But I did the blepharoplasty first, then the other two a year later. And you are right - the blepharoplasty made the most difference. You are so right about taking care of your skin - that is key. Thank you for sharing your experience- it will be so helpful to others who might be considering and researching for their surgeries. You look beautiful - before and after. ❤️

    Hi Penny thank you so much for your honesty in this journey and for putting yourself out there. You look beautiful! I've been watching your channel for a long time and started microneedling because of you and have used many of the recommendations you have for skincare. I would love to have something done with my neck as well, but fear, finding the right doctor and finances all come into play. Thank you for putting out a very informative and helpful video.

    Hello Penny. Thank you so much for sharing such a personal experience. I’ve been thinking for a long time that this is what I need to do. I’ve had kybella, several other things in which the skin under my neck remained. I’ve got the same background story as yours. Athletic, but it’s a family genetic problem. I’ve always been uncomfortable with my neck. Plus it’s eyes time as well. I’m definitely going to start my investigation into an excellent surgeon. Thanks for your tips.

    Hi, Penny. My surgery is in a few days (7/12/22). I'm having Blepharoplasty (upper and lower eye lid surgery) with fat transfer underneath my eyes to help me get rid of that gaunt, sunken in look. I'm also having a deep plane facelift. Your video diary, especially the progress pictures, was very helpful and reassuring to me. Thank you for sharing your personal experience. I'm having this super scary surgery because I'm self-conscious about the look of my face as I age. I work in an elementary school. The little ones are so blunt in their observations that it sounds cruel but they're just brutally honest about what they see. One little boy said to me, "You look old. How old are you?" Ouch! But he's right. As Dr. Kim described, the skin around my mouth is so droopy it actually looks like I had a minor stroke. I have those ugly marionette lines around my mouth and excess skin under my neck. The excess skin on my eyelids pools and looks crepy beneath my makeup. Underneath my eyes looks like I feel unwell. While I feel uncomfortable about the money I'm spending to get this surgery done, it's going to make such a difference in the way I feel and present myself to the world that I believe it's worth it. Although I have 20 yrs on you, I hope and pray that my results are as amazing as yours. Blessings to you always.

I thought you were beautiful before your surgery, just so you know. 💜And, I think you are beautiful now. :) You have a "glow" in all your vids - but in this one, you glow a little bit more; I think because you are happy with your results. I am so happy for you - and that everything went well.

    Thank you for sharing your story, Penny. I’ve always had a sharp, well-defined jawline but now that I’m 46, I’m noticing quite a bit of neck laxity. It’s due to heredity as well as gaining & losing weight over the years. I live in FL & it’s not feasible for me to travel to Oregon for the procedure & follow up visits during recovery. Would you happen to know of a facial plastic surgeon in FL whom you can recommend for the platysmaplasty?

      Dr.Christian Drehsen in downtown St. Pete. www.cliniqueps.com Board certified. He is truly gifted in aesthetics and faces. He just did fat injections - taking fat from my waist, and put it in my temples, brows, and cheeks. Super easy, local anesthesia. The goal is to stimulate cell regeneration and adding the adipose tissue, he says the fat dissolves, but the stem cells will stay. I am 51, and ready for the blephs and deep plane lift. He did this as the first step. So far, it has been 3 weeks today, and I am loving what he did.
