Amazed and Thrilled with my Facelift, Upper and Lower Eyelids, Fat Transfer and Chemical Peel - San Diego, CA

I gave myself an entire month to recover. Once your stitches are out I think you will feel so much better. Be nice to yourself and don't stress by looking in the mirror every moment...I am really happy and am 7 weeks out and completely back to my regular lifestlye but it took me the full month to truly look like me which my doctor prepared me for. I had significant bruising that was completely gone in 4 weeks. I didn't go out much then but was using minereal makeup (Jane Iredale and Bare minerals) You will look great but I think we send ourselves into tizzys by expecting to recover to quickly. The hardness/numbness is still subsiding but it is not bothersome. Again let yourself relax and recover and that will help your healing the most

I did have the weird ear pain every so often but I am now at 7 weeks and haven't felt it in awhile. I really didn't have any significant pain. I think the watering eyes are common and will go away. I haven't had any problems and actually just got back from a ladies weekend and even though nobody commented on my face i felt really good. It really helped me to start walking at 3-4 weeks and get back to regular lifestyle
