It's my 1st day post buccal fat removal and 2nd post hair transplant. My whole head feels like it weighs too much for my body and my face has completely ballooned and my ears are poking out like antenni.. I look like Stewie from Family Guy! I'm not in much pain, just slighly uncomfortable when trying to sleep as the diner area on the back of my head is still quite raw. I've know there's supposed to be minor swelling after each procedure but didn't expect it to be this bad.
