One year ago today I did a thing.

Yes, today July 18th, is the one year anniversary of my deep plane lower face and neck lift, plus a mild co2 laser. 

I was in the best of hands with my plastic surgeon Dr Allen Fouland, a true master in his field. After a dear friend had the most incredible experience with Dr, Foulad, I made the decision to follow in her footsteps. She is that friend that does all the research and due diligence for you. She met with all the top docs in the country. So thankful for her going first.

I had lost 40 lbs and did not like the extra skin that hung from below my chin.  It was never going to tighten up on its own. Not at 55. Trust me, when I tell you, I still felt extra cute and loved myself regardless, especially after working so hard to get in the best shape of my life.

This procedure was the icing on the cake. One year later, I look back on my brave choice and consider it one of the best decisions I ever made for myself.  I share with all of you, as I am an open book and always will be. Also, so many people are interested and want to know, so here you go….
