You are healing very fast I am still sleeping elevated I have a temperpedic bed so that helps after 4 weeks today andI am still bruised on my lower face where the juverderm was put it it seems like this is the longest thing to go away and still tight under my neck and in front of my ears it will get better every morning I have to use a cold compress for swelling and in the evening I put honey on my face let it set and then use organic coconut oil for the tightness no problem with the stitches

I think your lift was more intense than mine. Pinkee I feel bad your struggling. Can u still take the arnica ?
User Avatar

Yes it was because of my age and wrinkles and how deep they were on my side of my face. I do take a bromelain tablet and put pineapple in my nurtrabullit every morning I just think it will go away eventually so as long as they do not come back for some time I will be happy I do not want anymore fillers hopefully he has pulled me tight enough these cheek lines do not come back we will see

Oh I forgot. Kelly said that she took Advil and that would help some with swelling.

Excellent!! I take it you are home now? I leave next Thursday for my adventure! :-) I hope your recovery and healing is going well. Looking FAB! How does everything feel? Did you ice and use Arnica pills? I just purchased Thermapearl Ice packs and got my stuff together for my trip :-)

The second day when I gat the wrap off , I iced like crazy , I put ice in a freeze bag , wrapped it in a wash cloth then stuck it in the sides of my neck pillow , which is a must have !! I loved my neck pillow ( it's the one with little beads not foam although the foam might work but the neck pillow that I had I you could squish it in every direction (job Lot $6.00) I did use arnica 2 days before then the whole week I was there. I also drank 100%pineapple juice before I went .when I was there I just bought fresh pinnacle chunks and ate that. I'm feeling better and better everyday ! You must be getting exited, nervous ,happy ext. lol. If you need anything let me know I will try to help. :)

Thank you! So happy to hear you are feeling better every day! I will do just fine. I will miss my adjustable bed. I have horrible reflux and need to sleep on an incline. Hopefully I can create the same effect with pillows. I do have an awesome neck pillow and I will do exactly what you did!! Thanks for the tip!

I've opted to do bromelian tablets instead of the high sugary pineapple. isn't this just as good if not better?

I'm sure .. I did both

If you had it to do over would you stay the whole week.... or eight nights that you did or would you go home sooner?
Trying to decide....

The swelling will go down and you will look gorgeous! Swelling takes time. We all want to rush it but there is no way to do that! Enjoy your last quiet day. Try not to do too much when you get home. Remember to still rest! I know it will be hard but resting is the best thing for your body to heal!

Thank you so much tinymermaid for the good advice .im just wondering how long it takes until you see the final result
April 9, 2016
Hi Flower, you'll get there don't worry. I stopped swelling pretty much completely around the 2 week mark and by 3 weeks I looked totally normal...just like me only younger and without jowls and a wrinkly neck. I've heard final results can take up to 6 months but you should be feeling yourself way before that. Just take it easy until you feel your energy come back.

Thanx anyname . Your right everyday seems to get better today I'm starting to look more like myself
April 10, 2016
Don't be disheartened litter mate. This will pass! Rest, and let the body continue to do its thing. Back online in a few days, I hope. I'm on the side of the pool and jumping in tomorrow.

You look so beautiful!! I can't believe you had so little swelling!! Your neckline looks like a 21 year olds! I am 10 days post op from surgery with Dr. Lev ( love him!!!) in Costa Rica. I'm still swollen but the bruising is getting better. I'm 61 and I wish I had done this 10 years ago!! You look amazing!! CongratuLtions. Don't push yourself, lie around and rest as much as you can because your body needs the energy to heal. Hugs!! Tanya

I meant I can't believe you had so little bruising! I can see the swelling but that will go down eventually.

Thank you Teenerbell I just have swelling that changes everyday . I can't wait until things settle down.
User Avatar
April 13, 2016
You are going to be stunning! I had my op on April 8- and my swelling is MUCH worse and going down slower. Of course I also had chin implant and fat transfer--but where the neck lift was--you had much less swelling and it resolved faster-so don't worry, you're healing beautifully!

Thank you.. I have no patience .its hard to adjust to what I see now . I am happy .im just different . You must look great with everything that you had done.
April 13, 2016
You look amazing! I was wondering if you could tell me if Dr. Harley also does liposuction under the chin in the office if necessary during a Biltmore lift?

I believe he actually cuts it out he sculptures the lift. He does free consultations if your seriously considering him .

Hi flower - I remember that swelling on the sides of my face. I began to wonder if it would ever change. It was kind of weird, because it slowly move downward. There is still the smallest amount on one side that has been observed yet but it's down
User Avatar
April 7, 2016
That's good I have hope lol.. I still have thAt hard feeling .im hoping it softens alittle.
User Avatar

Ooops... I was going to say at the bottom of my ear. So don't be surprised if it takes a while to absorb.

Your family must be so excited to see you. Can you believe how long you anticipated it and now it's done! And you look absolutely gorgeous.

Do you have some downtime before you go back to work? I think the hardest thing for you is going to be not bending down for four weeks - but maybe that's only if you've had your eyes done. Good luck tomorrow!

On that first message about the swelling it was supposed to be "has not been absorbed".

I took until the 21 St off Just incase. I'm ready to go home I miss everyone. But I did enjoy my time alone. Thank u ❣

You're really brave to travel all that way and stay alone for an entire week. You're like Zena, the Warrior Princess. Just a few more days for me. Again, you're a beautiful inspiration. Thank you.

What do you mean by absorbed?
