Peggy’s Blog: Facelift Recovery Continues
June 29th, 2010
Would I have facelift surgery again if given the choice? I would have the surgery again, in a heartbeat. I also had Botox ® and Restalyne ® at the time of my surgery and I was happy with the results. I plan on continuing with both injections as needed. I opted for a natural facelift and I am happy with my rested, more youthful appearance now. I don’t look 30, but I look a whole lot better. I earned the title “Nana New Face” from my grandchildren. Recently the group I was working with at their school said, “You must be Chelsie’s Mom, you can’t be her Grandma!” I told them I was 65 and they were shocked, so I think Dr. Bashioum did a great job, with what he had to work with.
My friends and family have been very supportive. I told everyone I know, including my friends on facebook, that I was having the surgery. No point in hiding it and besides, I wanted all the sympathy I could get, ha. I recently saw a group of my friends who I had not seen for the past 2 weeks and upon seeing me they remarked, “Wow! You are looking great and we can see a huge change.†Right now I can even see a big change just from a week ago, as my recovery continues. My husband loves the change.

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.
