Sara/Re: Effects of upper/lower surgery on skin around eyes

[Guest guest]

Sara,

I have gotten the same comments!! Yesterday a lady at the mall asked

my mom how old her grandkids were as she looked at my daughter and

me! Wow! Just to think, I have been holding my head down when I

walk so people can't see my swollen face. In looking at your newest

pics, your face resembles mine quite a bit, if of course I was a few

years younger..(haha)
