I'm 65 years old, and I look much older than my peers. At a recent class reunion, everyone else looked so beautiful, but my face was sagging, and I had deep nasolabial folds. They all commented on how I had suddenly aged so much.
The reason I aged so suddenly is because my husband fell ill and passed away. Since I got married, my mother instilled in me the idea that a man is the pillar of the family, so I dedicated my life to him, and we had a very deep relationship. After he passed away, I was completely devastated. I couldn't eat or sleep, and I lost 90 pounds from 150 pounds, which is why I aged so much.
My daughter is very filial, and she cried every day seeing me like this. I also felt sorry for her, so I forced myself to cheer up. Things have gotten a little better lately, and I'm willing to go out and have meals with my classmates again. After the reunion, my daughter felt that what people said was true, so she wanted to take me to get a facelift.
At first, I disagreed, but then my daughter told me that her father would surely want me to live a good life, and that opened my heart.
She made an appointment with Dr. Yuan Qiang in Beijing, who has been practicing for over 20 years and has extensive experience. I went to Beijing with my daughter and had the surgery.
Nine days after the surgery, my face was still a little swollen and bruised. However, the recovery was getting better and better, and about half a month after the surgery, it looked very natural. Now, two months after the surgery, I've almost fully recovered. My face is firm and natural, and the sagging skin is gone. I look much more energetic.
My daughter is also satisfied with the results and hopes that I can cheer up and live a good life. Looking at my face, I feel very emotional. My daughter is right; after all, those who love you always want you to smile and live the rest of your life to the fullest.
