I am 4 days post-op after having a short scar face and neck lift. I still have significant swelling and bruising but it is starting to improve. My biggest concern is the looks of my cheeks in front of my ears. The skin appears lumpy. Will this smooth out over time and if so, how long will it take to look more natural?
I'm 1 week and 4 days after face lift surgery (temple, cheek, lower face lift). my right eye is still crooked, it looks lower and pulled down and stretched. my left eye is back to normal and never really got crooked looking after surgery. doctor said at 1-week visit there was still a lot of swelling but it is not getting much better as swelling continues to go down. I'm very worried if my right eye will remain crooked.
There are pain around the cheekbone, jaw, brown bones (sensitive when I touch these areas) but the constant headache what bothers me... i took painkillers but they don't help. When can i expect the headache to go away? Is it 'normal' to have headache after HIFU? Thank you for the answer in advance.
I realize it is early but it looks so unnatural. There is still swelling and tender areas. Is it likely the skin will relax and look a little more normal. Surgeon says this is part of the healing process and that he tends to over compensate. I get my stitches out tomorrow. It is like someone is tugging at both sides of my face and the front is flattened. There is no definition of the cheek bone and jaw is very taught. I wanted a slight lift not a wind swept look.
I had the sutures removed from my upper and lower lids (4 days post op) but my vision is not clear. What can I use to keep them clean but not irritate them. Also, what can I use on my shiner ( probably from fat transfer injections) to help it heal and keep it ?
My skin looks like it's pulled to much on one side creating a ridge /line with loose skin under it I'm only 4 days post op so hoping it's just swelling but it just doesn't feel right. Any suggestions as to what it could be would be gratefully received.
