Hello Canadian Alien! A lot of people have natural pixie-ish ears...I think they're cute. It's my understanding, though, they can be corrected without much difficulty if they make you unhappy. I hope you have great luck w/ your continued healing!
The very best of luck and BIG blessings wished for you, Mexicolou! I'm sure we will all be thinking of you on Thursday! I am so envious of you girls recently getting to do your surgery...I've had mine scheduled TWICE and had to cancel both times. An actual date is still not set for me - yet!
Zekeaboyz, if I am reading and understanding correctly, you are annoyed that no one is answering "the question posed" in this thread. And it seems to bother you further that people don't discuss only that question. Firstly, I am fairly certain that there is NO definitive answer to the question. The best that anyone can offer, with regard to the length of time in recovery, is their own personal experience or the experience of someone they know....too many variables for a precise answer. I've gone into detail on this already. Further, as for going off topic, I could swear that I read your post that included some details of a different surgery/recovery that you experienced...that wasn't really related to this thread, was it? If I am mistaken, I do humbly apologize! Besides......and most importantly: You are and have enjoyed the feeling of being a beautiful woman your whole life. That's a very profound statement. I think compared to that, you shouldn't be so concerned with the amount of healing time that you would lash out and hurt someone else because you aren't getting the answer you're looking for.
"Clutter up this thread" ??!! Sweet, silly, gorgeous girl! YOU are a very gentle, caring person who has reached out to several ladies here. You've done so by sharing knowledge, offering your spirit of friendship and support! You have nothing at all to apologize for! I would be extremely hurt and disappointed to not hear from you and all about your recovery - and anything/everything else that affects you. Facelift surgery/recovery is not a minor endeavor and everything that goes on in the patient's life is relevant to the process of healing.
For the record, I have been reading threads in this forum for several months..."off topic" happens quite often. In my opinion, that's completely natural when several people come together! ;-)
Your positive attitude is amazing! There are and will be many folks who NEED to know this (me, for certain, when my time comes!). I am thrilled to near tears that it's going so good for you. My prayers and best wishes will continue to include you....and everyone else here, especially those who are struggling.
Now... as for the TOPIC: "How long before complete...recovery?" Based on my mother's experience and all those of patients posting here - which was my daily reading for months - here is what I have learned: It is impossible to tell anyone how long their recovery will take; there are too many variables to make any more than an educated/experienced guess. And even then, it will still be only an estimate. Each and every person is different. Different with respect to the actual surgery performed, different in their chemical makeup, in their general perspective and temperament, and of course if there are any extenuating circumstances. It seems that the "complete" recovery time ranges any place from a few weeks up to one year. I am certain that holds true for any invasive surgery.
