Hi Suzi and welcome.I am mid-60s going on 40. Have had face lift and use retin A, botox and thermage every year. I want to keep up with everything and will share what I find.
Wow sounds great!! Gives me hope when my time comes-I had a face lift five years ago that is still holding. I had very oily skin as a young person and that has protected me from wrinkles, but I had some drooping skin around my eyes and chin. I tend to look gaunt rather than wrinkled. People guess my age to be 45-50 now which is wonderful. Family members tend to stay young looking but I think the lift really helped. It was quite traumatic just in that I looked like hell for about a month. I was put to sleep and then stayed with a nurse over night so they saw me through the worst of it. I am a psychologist and had to stay away from the office because I didn't want my patients to know. I got a new haircut before I went back to work and everyone thought it was that. My surgeon did a very good job, very subtle, augmented with a fair number of fat transfers while I was still out with the lift. Frankly I think that did as much good as the lift and the fat is still there. I had horrible bruising from the fat transfers, so I am hesitant to do it again unless I have the whole thing (lift too) again..and probably I will around 70. I didn't have my eyes done along with it but did have a forehead lift (forehead too high to begin with) which did not leave me looking permanently surprised as I feared. Now I kind of maintain with botox, thermage yearly, retin A and vit. C. I'd say the work I have had done has softened my face rather than smoothed it (which it didn't need so much).
Oh yeah I AM high on facial exercise and massage! Here is a link to some FAQs about it:Oh, and Fawnie--you seem to be high on facial exercise. I was always told by derms that it could stretch and worsen wrinkles? Tell me about your experience with it. I'll do ANYTHING.
Nohas any one has used prototype # 37c wrinkler cream?
I'm too afraid! Lucky as I was with simple procedures...but I wish though, and to find the surgeon that won't mess and of course I hope I will have $Wow sounds great!! Gives me hope when my time comes-![]()
I think Chivis is trying to promote it.at $149 a bottle, better be good! Have you used it Chivis?
I've checked their website and It's pictures of women in their 20's, I hate that!
Oh I do see it, marie. It doesn't look bad or noticeable at all though. I didn't even see it until I looked at the picture with the circle around it-Gymrat, it's like that in every skin care!![]()
you asked about my lump in another thread and I can't find this thread anymore, here's a picture, it's not a big deal, but it's there! I could have it removed but I more afraid of the possible scar and maybe worst
