Face-lift

I would need a fork lift truck, to lift my face.

I had a face lift 10 years ago and a lower face lift last year. I’m 72 now. I wasn’t terribly wrinkly but saggy. Can’t say it was the most pleasant of experiences but I don’t regret it one bit - one of the best things I ever did. Had a fantastic surgeon who cares about his patients and follow up was incredible. Basically it changed my life. Call me shallow but looking good makes me feel good - I take better care of myself - work out, eat the right foods etc etc. Guess we’re all different.

...I know it would probably get addictive when wearing off 🤔

Anyone? Which tweakment can help with drooping mouth lines pleeeaaase!!! And Joel area

Thanks for this - and for the honesty of the Gransnetters admitted to tweakments and surgical procedures. I’ve inherited good skin etc but at 70 can’t help wondering if it’s too late to start with some Botox/fillers. Does anyone remember seeing Miriam Margoyles get some fillers injected on a program about aging around the world? She was amazed by the results (I thought she was very brave to try it!)

Why not have a consultation but do your homework first to ensure you are going to someone you can trust? Fillers and botox aren't permanent and as I said in my previous post, my friend does look great. she's in her early 70's now and no one would look at her and think she's had anything done, she just looks really rested. tbh I'm just a little jealous!

I had really heavy lidded eyes so had them lifted in a private clinic some years ago; it has made a huge difference.

No but I sometimes think if I had spare cash that I didn't want to use for anything else I wouldn't mind having a bit of a lift. I don't have any wrinkles apart from elevenses between the eyes but my skin has sagged quite a bit.

I'm not really interested in looking younger but as someone else said 'just a slightly better version of myself' that doesn't look miserable because I'm not smiling.

I don't think they do facelifts on the NHS!

No juts a semi regular facelifts when I can bear to spend the money on what is just creaming and rubbing in.

Surgeons and nurses doing them could be far better employed, to help those who really need it. Same with anesthesists, etc, and operating theaters, etc.

Shirley Maclaine told, on a talk programme - Michael Parkinson? How in Hollywood they use a really fine gold chain which they tie behind your ears, and eh voila - face lift

Doesn’t stop ageing on the inside does it.

Not a chance!

I just use a large bulldog clip at the back of my head. Lifts and tightens instantly!

I have often thought this could be the solution - plus two more on my shoulders to hold everything else up 😂😂😂

A friend (two or three years older than me) started really early in her late 40’s with ‘tweaks’ that progressed as the years went by. Holding back the years and looking young and wrinkle free was the focus of her life. I lost touch with her but pretty sure she had serious facelifts as the years went by. She continued to look incredibly young and extremely ‘well cared for’ that nobody could believe her age when she died in her mid 80’s. Guess all the treatments in the world can’t stop the grim reaper knocking at your door!

Good for you Karen!

Lift and tighten too much and you could end up with a Goatee Beard

Yes I had my neck and lower face lifted ?8 years ago and my face lifted last year.
Very subtle, loved the results.
I’m a medical professional, working with the public everyday, I was fed up of looking tired and saggy.
It’s given me so much confidence and I don’t regret it one bit.

I wouldn’t dream of it - too old now, anyway - but a friend of mine did and I must admit she looked wonderful. She didn’t tell me she’d had it, and she asked if I’d noticed anything about her All that I’d noticed was that she looked particularly good. I think that’s ideal. She didn’t look very different, just better. She had done lots of research about it, where to have it done and so on.

no I wouldn't, when I see what some of the so called "stars"look like after these procedures..I'll go along with Grunty, a bulldog clip....

I've tried that but it shows my bald patch!

My face needs scaffolding not lifting.

I have no problem with my face exactly as it is

A younger friend has "tweakments" ie a bit of botox and a bit of filler and she looks great. I think I've left it too long but although I wouldn't want a surgical face lift if I were 15 years younger I'd be tempted to have "tweakments" especially if they could preserve my chin which seems determined to disappear.
