Day 3

Still swollen, can't yet see my fluffy cheeks yet. :-)

Days 2 & 3

This is my first plastic surgery procedure and I'm keeping a level head, so I know results will NOT be immediate and I will not fall apart because of my current appearance...it gets worst before it gets better. So with that being said, days two and three have not been bad. I had a couple of questions, so I called the office and was left on hold for a while, so I just shot Toni a email and she got back to me (no biggie/not an issue for me).
I am swollen and my eyes are bruised. On day three I noticed that when I smile there is pressure in my cheeks and I can't do a full smile yet. Here are pics of days 2 and 3. I will update probably within the next week or so.

Day of SX & Post-Op

I arrived at 7:40am (20 minutes early) for surgery with Dr. Dickerson. I had all my paperwork and post-op instructions given to me days before, so everything was all set. My nurses were Jesse and Toni (two sweethearts) and LaTonya was my "sleep juice lady" and there was another young lady assisting, but I forgot her name (she was very pretty, soft spoken young lady and very polite).
Jesse told me my blood pressure was high, but I'm guessing it was because I was SO NERVOUS that I only slept 2 or 3 hours the night before and I had recently (stopped taking blood pressure meds, but things went good. I got changed into my gown, Dr. Dickerson (with his flyy self) came in and we chatted briefly, he gave me some numbing injections in my cheek and eye areas. He used this little wand that had a light and a buzzer as a distraction tool, which was good, but I have this unusual "ticklish" thing going on, on my right side an jumped a little, not because it hurt, but because the sound of the tool tickles me. (WEIRD - I KNOW). Getting the injections wasn't bad at all, we chatted a bit while he did them. He asked if I was okay and said "bad doctor", "bad doctor" as he stuck me, but I let him know it didn't hurt.

After LaTonya got finished putting me on the IV and asking a few questions, I was escorted to the OR and got on the table. Jesse put the monitor on my finger and as the ladies were moving about prepping for surgery, in a low voice, I began to pray for everyone there and the doctor that all minds were clear, hearts receptive, hands steady, any spirit of distraction, confusion and error bound up in the name of Jesus, that He come into the midst of this OR because w/out Him there is no success, with Him ALL things are possible and I trust Him to be in control of our success. I asked Him to bless the doctor, his staff and their families...by this time, LaTonya said she gave me something and OFF I WENT!
I don't remember hardly anything right after surgery. I vaguely remember eating goldfish crackers and sipping a soda through a straw and somebody asking me something and I just said "Yup, hmm, mmm.". I remember I had on my Spanx and clothes after and wondered, how did I get my clothes on so fast?? I remember being wheeled to the car, I think it was Toni that took me out to the car. My son drove me home (we live about 1 1/2 hours away) he said I directed him on how to get out of the office park and to the highway and said I was texting and then when we got home, I laid in bed with all my clothes AND SUNGLASSES on and I fell asleep holding my phone...I have NO MEMORY OF THIS WHATSOEVER! But I did find a picture I text my bestie who was checking on me after surgery, so that's proof that I was somewhat alert, but just don't remember. So for the rest of the evening I just slept. This is the day of/after SX when I got home about

Provider Review

Board Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon
2053 Valleygate Dr., Fayetteville, North Carolina

I visited Dr. Dickerson for a consultation for solutions to improve my lower eye area (March 2015). It was about a hour and a half drive for me and I am glad I made the trip. Dr. Dickerson and his staff were excellent!!Dr. Dickerson EXUDED confidence, which is something I look for in a doctor. He's very professional, very personable and very straight forward. He explained things to me in a way I could understand, answered ALL of my questions and we even got in a few jokes (I'm always joking around). His assistants Carmen and Toni were absolutely wonderful as well. After my consult, I emailed asking additional questions and always got very timely responses by email or phone. I expect to have my eye surgery later this year. I also need to have surgery to have my thyroid removed and if these two surgeries can be combined, I will do both at the same time. I am looking forward to my eye surgery and in his words, "getting my sexy back!"
