I am considering the lifestyle lift but I have a terrible fear of needles. This is the only thing stopping me. Any suggestions.

I would say going back to work in 4 days depends on how much you will bruise & swell. It's very unsightly& in my case, I couldn't even get my mouth open to eat for a couple days. If you answer phones at work, in my opinion, you will need minimum a week, possibly more. 3 years post-op, my ears still hurt& the phone is a pain I have found I have to live without. Where are you having it done? Most of all- Check out your doctor!!!! Good Luck
