Six Months After Full Face Lift and Eyes Surgery...

Z
ZYMay 24, 2011

I did my full face lift and eyes lift surgery 6 months ago in KL. Happy with the results. I went to see my surgeon 4 months ago to make sure everything was right, andasked my GP. People say I'm looking fresher than before.. But, from the inside my skin face and neck I still have some questions: -Why I still feeling tight around my face, ears and neck? -What happened inside, sometime feel itch and a bit puffy still on my face? -When all this will be gone? -What I must do and don't?.. Thx
