“So Far, I'm Thrilled”

I was expecting the worst. The doctor put some numbing cream all over my face and the procedure was virtually pain free, a little bit of hard thumping on my forehead, but I was forewarned.

They told me to go home and just take it easy and to wash my face at least two times before I go to bed and to wash my face every few hours for the four day down time. I took two Tylenol and ran some errands and went home about 4 hours later and my face felt like I had a mild sunburn and looked like it as well.

The following morning, my eyes were swollen and my face felt hot and red, so I took two Tylenol. By late afternoon the swelling had subsided and so did the redness. Day three I had no swelling and much less red. I was shocked by how great my eyelids looked...uppers were where they belonged and my bags were gone. My lips were looking so much better.

Day four, I noticed a bunch of red itchy pimples on my forehead and a couple on my face.

Day five pimples were still there and maybe have a few more, but the initial ones are beginning to calm down.

Day six...pimples are still there but not itchy anymore and they look like they are fading. My skin look is tight and smooth. I noticed today that even my nose looks shorter...I forgot to mention that I'm 61 years old...so everything on my face was sagging. But not any more. I go back to the Doctor tomorrow. I'm curious to know what these pimples are. They are either directly from the procedure or the Aquaphor.

I'll let you know what he says.

So other than the pimples, I couldn't be any happier. The results of this procedure totally exceeded my expectations.
