Facelift
Sue Piercey, aged 52

"I'd been terribly conscious about my double chin for years.""It was the first thing I'd see when looking in mirror and made me feel very ugly. I felt people looked at that rather than me as a whole and it really affected confidence. Although I'd always had my double chin, it got bigger and more wrinkly as I got older. I'd thought about having a facelift for quite a few years but had always put it to the back of my mind. When I turned 50, I thought to myself "If I don’t do it now, I never will" - I wanted to enjoy the rest of my life. I was very frightened about having my operation as I'd never had general anaesthetic before. However, my Co-ordinator was very good with me - she was open and truthful about my expectations - and the nurses who looked after me were very friendly and put me at ease. My recovery was quicker than I'd expected. I slept for a few hours after my operation and was frequently checked on by the nurses who offered me food and drink. I never felt by myself. I felt groggy for a couple of days after my procedure but I expected to as my Surgeon had told me I would. I'm now more confident in the way I look and I'm happy with way I see myself. The effects are natural - some people I've spoken to said they'd never have known I'd had anything done - and I'm glad as I didn't want my skin to look tight and stretched. " |
