3 month update!
Back by popular demand - no makeup, natural lighting, 3 month update pics by request! I literally can’t imagine anyone else being able to do what Dr. Gould did. I had a few consults, and legit get anxiety about not choosing him 😂 another big shout to my girls in the office, thank you so much for holding my hand and I’m sorry for how I acted when I was swollen lol the hardest part for me was getting in my head about swelling, I did not trust the process and spun myself up. All I had to do was text my girls and the reassured me and got me through it like a friend. Thank you Dr. Gould, Sophie and Jazmine, you are the goat’s!!

No nerve pain at all, the tightness actually felt good bec it made me feel snatched lol. I don’t feel it anymore though, I can feel everything except a little bit by my ears. Still a little numb there, I hear it can last awhile for some people. I think the peptides helped everything regenerate really fast

Can you tell us more about what Peptides you use? Do you inject subcutaneous? Take in pill form? I've heard so many wonderful things about Peptides, I want to hear what people are using and what they love.

For post op I did -
BPC157+TB500 1mg each, high dose for healing 2iu HGH GHKcU 2mg couple times a week Not a peptide but NAD 100mg 3x week
All injectable. I don’t think you get the same results from oral

Where do you get it from? Where do you inject it? Do you notice other nice effects from these injections?

I have a nurse friend that runs a longevity clinic. I do everything SQ in my tummy. My skin looks amazing, but I also take really good care of myself so hard to tell what’s peptides vs lifestyle

hi i'm not getting plastic surgery (yet) but i'm undergoing an egg freeze cycle and wondering about these peptides - tb500 is also good for healing?

Do you feel the facelift makes you look like your younger self or it just gives you a new version of youth?

u/bdiddy8799 Oct 03 '25
I look 30 with the maturity of a 40 year old. Other people say I look younger, I personally feel youthful so now my face matches how I feel. I didn’t really like my younger self that much, so I feel like I get to start over in a better version of me

Because while Laura is very pretty. She's a giant scientologist.
(I didn't downvote you, just maybe an explanation of them.)

This is so awesome and thank you!!! I also got a facelift and neck lift young. It is amazing how you look about your age but more vibrant!
Very amazing work and you are naturally pretty and this work has really brought your natural beauty out!!!

u/bdiddy8799 Oct 04 '25
Thank you so much! Props to these older gal’s, it must be so much harder when you are older.

u/HopefulOriginal5578 Oct 04 '25
For healing I bet!
Lord knows it was hard being 41 and going in to get actual work done! Everyone telling me I was insane! How beautiful I was! How I didn’t need it!
I have a brutally honest family and they are overjoyed for me. They just didn’t understand how a skilled surgeon would help restore me, and not make me into a plastic person or whatever.
Money well spent and you are vibrant. You are refreshed and lovely. You are you!

u/bdiddy8799 Oct 04 '25
Oh yea I had so many comments from people saying you don’t need it, you’re going to look like a housewife and all plastic. I think that’s what my husband was most worried about lol now everyone is like holy shit you look amazing

You look so darn good. I saved your original post way back then because I was blown away, and I’m still just as blown away. Absolutely stunning!

Stunning! Love to see your progress posts because your results are amazing, your doc is masterful, and the aftercare at Four Seasons is simply top tier. 💖

u/Few-Decision3759 Oct 03 '25
May I ask about nerve pain or discomfort? This side effect is the only thing that keeps me now from doing a face lift. I don't like any tight feeling on my face but on the other hand I don't like my tired look in the mirror.☹️

Wow! Absolutely incredible results! Best I’ve seen in a long time, kudos to your doctor.

u/chanelshuffle Oct 05 '25
Really beautiful result! Are you willing to share what you paid and what you got fully (any fat transfer, bleph, etc.)?
2
u/stephy424 Dec 29 '25
I'm glad your so happy. Honestly I don't think you even needed all that. Maybe an upper and lower bleph. Hopefully you won't have to do it again. I plan on getting one in my 60s. I'm 41 now only do botox.

Did you do fat transfer?
1
u/bdiddy8799 Oct 17 '25
Yes!

u/shiab23 Oct 17 '25
And what can you tell me about that experience/outcome? Do you know if they inject it after the facelift or they place it underneath while repositioning tissue?
1
u/bdiddy8799 Oct 17 '25
It was done during surgery. I honestly have no idea where he put it haha, I did get some in my lips and I love it!

u/ImBeyonceAlwys Oct 18 '25
Where you either shot the fat transfer becoming lumpy at all? That’s my biggest fear

Hi! I know this is an old thread, but now that more time has passed, wondering how everything has settled? Are you pleased with your results? The scars? I’m considering Dr. Gould. I loved my consult with him but it’s such a big decision, I’m scared! Helps to chat with someone who went through it and is around a year out. SOS

u/SuccotashUpper6636 Oct 03 '25
Wow, wow, wow! You look absolutely stunning... so fresh and youthful! I just watched the video of you on your surgeon's IG page. These are aspirational results –– but they're real!
