i respect you so much for being transparent about surgery, wish more people would be so we could all be well informed. You look amazing !!!! So happy for you XXX

Thanks so much for sharing! One of the biggest problems with cosmetic procedures is managing expectations. I think it’s really helpful for everyone to see what the whole journey looks like! Thanks Penn! ❤️

Blepharplasty - best thing I’ve ever done!
My only regret is that I didn’t have it done years earlier. Pre-surgery I always looked tired and people would ask if I was “okay?” (meaning I looked grumpy, mad, or generally unhappy). No eye makeup ‘tricks’ really made much of a difference. I had a 40 minute procedure with just local anesthesia at the site. I took 2 weeks off work until the sutures were removed - did look a bit swollen and bruised under my eyes for 5 or 6 days but had good instructions how to manage that - it wasn’t as bad as I had expected actually. The price was more reasonable than I had expected as well. Since it is hereditary in my family (both parents) all my siblings are on-board with getting the procedure done as well, largely due to the good outcome I had. I am happy to tell people that I had the procedure done because I think the stigma about openly talking about procedures we’ve had keeps others in the dark who would perhaps like to have something similar done. I definitely agree that information and expectations are important - my scars are a bit more visible to me than I would have liked, plus I have some hypervascularity (purplish lids), but on balance these are small things compared to the overall improvement I’ve experienced (plus I can use concealer/eye shadow as necessary).

I am SO grateful to you for sharing your experience and photos!!! You have no idea! I'm 56 and am getting a similar face/neck lift in May. I have been very nervous about it. This was incredibly helpful to me with what to expect afterwards with healing etc. I love your content!! Your surgery turned out great and you look amazing!

Thank you I’m 10 days in and was freaking out before I found your video

I had a mommy makeover (lipo360, tummy tuck, and breast reduction). I'm a mom of 4. I think talking about and being transparent about plastics is so important and I tell everyone about my surgeries if they compliment me. People can be sooooo catty and weird about it and honestly, I just don't understand. I think that the whole air of secrecy around plastic surgery is so unnecessary and harmful. Setting up young people with unrealistic expectations and also to feel the need to compare themselves negatively to others without context.
What you're doing is great, thank you for talking about it. I think I'm order for people to be more open and accepting to plastic surgery and cosmetic procedures we have to talk about it more.

Your surgery results are perfection, noticeable but not overdone looking.

There better NOT be any mean girls on here talking badly about my girl Penny! 😤 You look absolutely gorgeous as always! You are a HUGE inspiration for me and I take everything you say as my truth! That’s because I know you have our best interest at heart and are always 💯 with us. I agree that if someone wants to get something done to make themselves feel more confident/happy…then great! Obviously within reason. Also, their responsibility of doing research, understanding of risks and having reasonable expectations. ❤️ Penny is the best…ok that’s all I have to say lol

I always appreciate your honesty and insight. I worked for 6 years in a plastic surgeon’s office ( working as the liaison between the doctor and client explaining the surgical produces along with all the before and aftercare then another 8 years working as an esthetician) I always tell people , just be patient and take care of your skin, diet and sleep habits, it aids in healing and getting a great result. We all must do what’s best for our self esteem for some it’s holistic for others it’s surgical. You are one of my favorites Penny. Happy New Year 🎊💕

This is by far the best post regarding these procedures. Thank you!

@Forest-lifestyle 2 years ago

Great that you confirm what seems to be normal for us all which is that recovery from swelling can take one year

@brittanystephensanchondo7019 4 years ago

I appreciate you posting real pictures. This makes you even more trustworthy!

Omgosh! Thank you for being so vulnerable and sharing your surgery (sugary?) journey! I had blepharoplasty surgery last year and for sure don’t regret it. But now I’m regretting not doing the other two! I am definitely going to make an appointment with Dr. Kim though, so thanks too for the referral. You’re beautiful…. For sure before surgery, and now after, you’re glowing AND beautiful!
Here’s to team Portland! 🥂

I just want you to know that you look absolutely amazing and that your openness is much appreciated. It's high time that the plastic surgery taboo goes away! Your surgeon did an amazing job, he's a very talented surgeon.

@dorryakgul1119 3 years ago (edited)

@pajamamama5965 4 years ago

Your honesty is so refreshing! Thank you for sharing such a personal experience and for the interview. It's also interesting. I agree the blepharoplasty made the most difference in your looks. I knew a lady in her early sixties who had that done and it altered her eyes so much that she didn't look like the same person. I really liked your final thoughts

@atunmore8573 4 years ago

I would never had guessed you had those surgeries. He’s very talented.

@Benegesserite 2 years ago

Oh i totally missed this one! That’s why you were looking super super young lately. Now it makes sense. Dunno if you mentioned how much it was ?

@DVelez-wz3fe 4 years ago

You don’t look like you had surgery…you look so natural. Excellent surgeon!

@waikikime2281 2 years ago

Thank you so much for sharing this. I had a face lift when I was 50, am needing another one at 70. You look gorgeous and you're an inspiration to women of all ages who want to look as young as they feel.
