Peggy’s Blog: Scalpel Please!
June 24th, 2010
These are my “Before” photos. On the day of my surgery, I was excited and ready to have my facelift. I wasn’t nervous or scared. I felt confidence in Dr. Bashioum and my decision to go forward. I really don’t remember a lot about the day of surgery, but my granddaughter told me that after the surgery, I marched into her house like nothing had ever happened. Dr. Bashioum requires someone to be with facelift patients during the night following their surgery. I didn’t have much pain, which was a surprise. The discomfort from the surgery was more like a muscle pain and after the first day, I only took a few Tylenol. I followed the doctor’s orders and referred back to my post-operative instructions to make sure I was doing exactly as I was told. My husband saw to it that I was the perfect patient, as far as getting a lot of rest and eating healthy. It was also a comfort to know that I could call the doctors office 24/7 whenever I felt the need to be reassured about the progress I was making.

Peggy’s Blog: Wanting a Facelift
June 23rd, 2010
Hi, my name is Peggy. Why did I choose cosmetic surgery? I have been contemplating having a facelift for the past 3 years. I was a sun worshipper since I was 16, had my own personnel tanning bed in my home for 15 years, I was a heavy smoker and a yo-yo dieter. All of which contributed to me developing severe skin damage. I reached a point where I didn’t even want anyone to take my picture, unless it was with my camera where I could Photoshop it or a professional photo where they could edit the picture. I quit smoking in 2001, sold my tanning bed in 2003 and joined weight watchers in 2006. I have lost 43 pounds and have kept it off. I learned that keeping your weight off is basically living a healthy lifestyle, which includes exercise, no dieting is really required. So now, at 65 years old and a healthy weight of 115 pounds, I am ready to consider a facelift and look in the mirror with confidence.
