One Week!! And the ugly by request. LOL
Where did the days ago? It seems like just yesterday I was sipping coffee after having surgery with Dr. Harley. I will certainly do this again in a few years at the first sign I start to need it!!!
I took it easy over the weekend and things were pretty much back to normal by Monday. I still don't lift anything heavy & have tried (LOL) to keep my face level. I didn't find I needed any diet restrictions and I had a few drinks which was fine. I didn't take any pain killers, they simply were not needed. To me it just felt like I wearing a party hat with rubber band neck thingy.
I take my stitches out tonight. I'd like to say it would be a relief but frankly I forget they are there.
If you are thinking about it, go for it. I love love love my new neck. I love my lips too, it has been years since I wore anything but clear gloss. I will be getting a lip lift from Dr. Morgan in the spring (Dr. Harley actually liked that idea too) so the juvi Dr. Harley gave me is a little icing for now.
Here is one really hideous picture. It was a terrible year, many family & friends passed away..and I actually ran over my elderly cat. This was just the pick me up I needed.
Cheers! KAT

Hi Everyone!
Today was shower day!!! YIPEEE I asked Dr. Harley how to get rid of the blue marker lines that many of us have questions about. He said he did not want us to try to rub them off. To leave them alone & they would eventually wear off. As I was going to do a coconut oil hair mask, I decided to also do my face as well. I left it all one for an hour before showering. It took them off! Of course I forgot about the one under my neck...duh me.
I am posting 2 after shower pictures since the tape came off. Like Dr. Harley said, I just put more tape on with nothing else on it. I will say that after my shower & a nice hour long nap the swelling went down..and I kid you not...tons!! It looks like I have bruised more then others but let me tell you about my jaw line. Take a soft boiled egg, cut it long ways then place each have a little bit above your chin. Yup, that's what I had. Two large pockets of fat that would never go away no matter how little body fat I would be wearing. They are GONE! I got to see little demon fat pockets in my drains. It was gross. But hey, if you have them too, yes, you can be rid of them forever!
Energy level has been good! I am trying very hard to be a good patient! Staying in bed, not lifting. Walking feels great so I sat out in the sun for a few minutes. However my Visa card isn't liking me right now. What's a girl to do anyway? Sephora, Ulta, Revolve, Macys hauls that's what! It happens!
Also I wanted to say, if you can afford to get your eyes done too. Mine looks so sad. I guess that will be part two.
Let me know if you have any questions or what to see anything else on my face! :)
XOXOX

On the other side!
Hi Everyone!
I apologize for not updating but I was unable to connect to the Clarion wifi. To touch on the hotel, it is okay. The room are recently remodeled and are very nice. Stay was was great. I requested a room in the back, ground floor. It was great, just walk in the door. They have parking passes so there was plenty of room to park your vehicle. Hot breakfast from 6:30 am until 9:30 with coffee available 24/7. There is also an outside pool. No problems what so ever. Cost was $80 a night including taxes & fees.
I had my pre-op with Dr. Harley on Wednesday at 12:30. There was another patient in there but I wasn't able to say a word since they wisk you in so fast! Gracious Lynn left me a wedge pillow which worked out fantastic & I am forever grateful!! So very nice. Thank you so much! They do read the boards here but don't know our real names. :) Dr. Harley was everything everyone says he is. He explained that since I have a round face (he said he does too so hey not so bad) that I might have that "alien" look. LOL I expected it. Some who the subject got on to what happens with the extra skin removed during surgery, he said the sausage factor picks it up. Dang, we have the same sense of humor, to bad he is to young & married!
After pre-op we drove right up the road (make a left) to the Fresh Market & picked up salads for dinner. We had lunch with my Aunt & Uncle so I figured we would be worn out after driving 7 hours. It was a good call. I got my meds at Walmart with is past the Fresh Market on the left also. It was $24.79 with BCBS.
Surgery day & go figure I wasn't a bundle of nerves. Reading everyone's journey, I knew I was in great hands!!! Dr. Harley saw us in since we arrived early. He explained my post-op care to my daughter & told her to come back after 8:30 since the doors are locked until then. I was given the coctail which didn't take long to hit my fanny. Dr. Harley took pictures, I didn't care. Next think I know I was wrapped in a blanket & laying down. Dr. Harley told me he was starting the shots, but that's all I remember for a good long while. I guess near the end things started to wear off, I moved my hands to reach for my face but Kelly held them down. I could feel Dr. Harley cutting & sewing but I didn't care. I was pretty much awake for my lip injections but I really didn't care either. Your care giver parks in the Handicap spot so you don't have to walk far. By about 8:45 I was back in the room sipping coffee.
I didn't find any food restrictions. I had some left over salad from the night before & my daughter brought back a full meal from Boston Market. We also had a bunch of water in the room & light snacks.
The worst part was the night. Painkillers do nothing for me. I could not sleep. I wasn't in pain except for where the drain was around my jaw. My right side was freaking fantastic but I could not get stop the ache of the drain. I think it was hitting a nerve or something which of course isn't Dr. Harley's fault, he wouldn't know and i have a strange face. I dozed off & on. I am also claustrophobic so the head wrap didn't help that either. I made it thru & was glad when 8:30 came around.
Post Op. The thing about Dr. Harley's office is there is NO wait. I sure wish other PS's would be like this. I waited 3 hours for fillers one time!! Kelly took my head wrap off then Dr. Harley came to take out the dreaded tube & talk to me about how I was feeling & post op care. He also said that while other girls on RS are talking about cleaning with peroxide then using an antibiotic cream he has abandoned that to just using the tape he puts on only until it falls off in 3-4 days. I like a progressive doctor, perhaps he will abandon the tube to just a single port? hint hint?
I iced as we drove home 7 hours back down to OBX. It wasn't bad. My hair looked weird and with my swollen face I got some weird looks looks when we took pit stops. LOL I am uploading some pictures which I am bad at.
