rating so far....I have yet to see whats going on. :)
there is a little more bruising and swelling now that I am a few days out---but I still like the results a lot.
More pics to follow.
Sarja, your after pics are looking good, even after 1 day. I'm glad things seemed to have gone well for you and your managing the pain okay. How long to you think your "downtime" is going to be?
Agreed. Wow... what a great "Day 1" result!
Good luck today and *fingers crossed* that everything goes smoothly! I'm sure you'll do fine. Say hi to McDreamy for me. ;)
UPdates to come, mostly because I've really appreciated reading others. :)
