Second Lower Facelift, Neck Plication & Juvederm Tomorrow - Richmond, VA

I haven't posted recent pictures and should, but I am extremely happy with my results. I have the jawline of a teenager (sort of).:)

Gracieva, the west-ender--Thanks for your comment. I will post more pictures next week as I think I will look much more presentable. Today I feel like I am being pulled in all different directions--a little lop-sided :S

I live in the mid-Peninsula, but am obviously in and out of Richmond.

Thanks! Pictures are up and hope they help.

Hi Pug--The twilight is iv and not intubation. It was used to reduce pain while the numbing was done. The surgery was performed with numbing medication.

I brought a wedge pillow with me to the hotel, but I had a terrible time sleeping as as I am a side sleeper (not good)and you MUST sleep on your back with your head elevated for weeks. At about 5 a.m. I rolled blankets under my knees, wedged myself in a cage of pillows and took my first vicodin as a sleeping pill.
The nurse will remove my dressing at 11:30 and instruct me on caring for the incisions, etc. The gauze dressing is very tight and a bit uncomfortabe. So, I will be glad to have that off, but I will have to continue wearing the ace bandage for a week to keep my chin up.

Then my husband and I will get in the car and drive home.

I was mainly talking about the ps's classical guitar playing (he played his dvd--very good). I think they got the juvederm in around my mouth right after the iv was put in and before I started yammering and singing 'Needles and Pins'. I am feeling quite good. I no longer have the Ramones running through my head.
I will post more pictures. The dressing comes off tomorrow at noon.
