9 days post, hair covering incisions
These pics look amazing to me. The side view/profile looks great. From the front, I'm still swollen - the swelling goes out sideways, which is why you can see it from the front, but not from the side.
Anyway, I'm really stunned that this is my profile now. The swelling will go down.
All of that said, my doc explained carefully, several times, that over the course of about 6 months, my skin will relax, and some of the wrinkling on my neck will return. Right now, it's pulled super-tight, because he "over-corrects", knowing that the skin will relax, and some of the wrinkling will come back. It makes sense the way he explained it. So the pristine profile I have now is not going to be there in 6 months, but it will still look great compared to what I looked like before. I can definitely see that.
The incisions still look a little messy - still bunched skin, and not really healed yet. I'm hiding that with my hair in these pics. But given these were taken only 9 days post... um. Holy. Cow.
I'm officially changing my opinion to "worth it" from "not sure." I'm sure at this point. I'm totally going to love the final result.

Same pics, but cropped differently to show jawline and chin instead of incisions. This part is looking great. It's around the temples and ears that don't look ready for public yet. Also, you can't see it from the side, but the sides of my face are still swollen, and they're very tight and numb.
Doc explained (both before surgery and post-op) that he over-corrects, because over the next few months, my skin will relax into the final result, and I won't look tight and pulled after that. In fact, I may have a few wrinkles back. But it's obviously going to be nowhere like it was before the surgery!

Stitches came out yesterday. I was a little disappointed because I'd expected the incisions to have healed a bit more, but this was major stuff, and doc says I'm right on track where I'm supposed to be. Still lots of bruising numbness, but I have good energy, and am starting to go a little stir crazy. I definitely don't feel comfortable going out in public yet without a big winter hat pulled down over my ears. Hoping I'll feel ready to be seen at work week after next.

So far, so good. Dr. Tattini and his whole staff are super nice, comforting, and clear. They've all spent time listening to what I want, and what I hope to accomplish with this.
