It takes about 5 months to feel normal. Noone can prepare you for the strangeness of your face. It is tight while puffy. I am post lower face life and neck for sagging neck and jowls. I now, 5 months out, forget I had surgery. Find a good doctor and don't cut corners because it is your face.
I feel the same way. I am 3 months out and I CANNOT wait for the swelling and scars to fullly heal. I like to sleep on my side and when I do, I wake up and my face feels like a tick! Oh what we do to keep the wrinkles away. I really enjoy reading these posts because noone can prepare you and if you haven't had the surgery, you really don't understand.
Your experience sounds very much like mine. Will be very happy when the puffiness is gone and I can sleep on my side. My chin is my fav because it was so saggy. Good luck to you.
