Praying my Results Improve

Starting to see some results! I definitely notice an improvement. Is it revolutionary, no. But my surgeon never promised that. Still hoping to see more definition as I lose weight and as time goes on. I don’t see much improvement in my buccal fat area from the facetite that was done. Still very full there. Will update again at 6 months.

I found a miracle product recommended by my pharmacist called goo gone (for skin). It was the only thing that worked so make sure you purchase some ahead of your surgery.

Stitches came out yesterday (pretty painless). I’m still super swollen but bruising is improving. I’ve started experiencing some intense itchiness and random pains. I believe this is my nerves firing up again and is a positive sign of heeling. No real change yet to profile that I can see.

I’ve never had a defined jawline. It has always been an insecurity of mine that only got worse with age and weight gain. I finally decided to do something about it. This was a big decision for me as I’ve been fortunate enough to never have needed any invasive procedure or surgery in the past. It was a big fear that I had a lot of anxiety about. I’m only 5 days post procedure so I know I still have a long way to go with my recovery but so far I don’t see any improve and it has me concerned. I have neck lipo (no idea what kind) and FaceTite. Dr. Ahn is a well known doctor in my area so I felt confident having my procedure done with him and his team. The pre-op care was amazing and throughout. Post-op I’ve been a little let down. I was told I’d receive a call later in the day after my procedure which never came. I still have not spoken to any member of the surgical team to inform me on how my procedure went. Pain/discomfort has been tolerable however one big oversight was how to remove the residue from the bandage around my neck. I’ve been extremely sticky for days and have tried everything to get it off (rubbing alcohol, oils, soap) nothing works. It’s been very painful trying different methods and this was the one thing that almost broke me. Make sure your ask your provider about this and plan ahead.

I have a follow up in a few days to remove my stitches. I keep updating with photos and results as I heal. Hoping for the best!!
