Feel Run Down After Surgery..

User Avatar

9 days ago I had surgery and I am wondering if this is "normal recovery". I had a face and neck lift, brow lift, rhinoplasty, dermabrasion to upper lip, fat transfers to NL folds. Yesterday I was feeling better so I had a shower and washed my hair cleaned up my room, and bathroom, went out for dinner with some friends for 3 hours. Later I felt like I was run over by a truck. I felt nauseated, in pain, stiff and just run down. How long should recovery take? Thanks for your answers Terrie
