Jaw Line/neck Lipo + Mini/mid lift - Budapest

So I'm off to Hungary to improve my jawline. I'm already in the hotel in Budapest, and I go for consultation at 8am tomorrow.

The organisational and contact has left a little bit to be desired. You can send an email and not get a reply for a couple of weeks. We got there in the end though.

I arrived at the airport and I was expecting a driver to be waiting for me.... but he wasn't. After several attempts to get through to the driver, and to the office, I finally got through to the driver... he thought I was coming tomorrow. He finally got there about 90mins later. I didn't mind too much though. I'm a seasoned traveler, so I wasn't phased. When he finally got there, he was a friendly guy, and very apologetic that he'd made a mistake. Lol.

The hotel is in the same building as the clinic, and it's pretty nice. Not flashy, but it's modern and clean, and the staff are friendly. I will say that because I wanted to travel hand luggage only as I'm travelling alone and didn't want to carry a heavy bag back after surgery, I had minimal room for toiletaries. I thought there'd be at least soap, shampoo, etc. There is a soap dispenser on the wall of the shower, but it's a multi purpose shower gel/shampoo, so bring your creature comforts. I'm hoping I can run out after my consultation in the morning. I also forgot my adapter plug, so I'm rapidly running out of battery in both my iPhone and pad. I desperately need an adaptor. Ahhhhh!!

So, I went in to surgery around 2:30pm, and it's 7 now. Not really feeling any pain, except one pressure point around my left ear is burning like crazy. Other than that, nothing.

Dr. Molnar is a really nice man. He's really cheerful, with a good sense of humour. As soon as I met him, I felt much less anxious. All the staff have been great so far. The clinic is sooooo close to the hotel, so that's handy for when I go back there in a couple of nights time. There's also a massive Tesco Extra right across the road, so great for doing any last minute shopping. Hopefully in a couple of days I'll feel up for going over there to get a couple of snacks. I still haven't eaten since last night and im starving. Could literally murder a can of coke or something. Not healthy, I know, but damn, I'm running low on sugar right now. Lol

As for the surgery, my face and neck are super swollen, so I can't really see what kind of results I've had just yet. I look like a little chipmunk. Lol.

Well, the nurse just came an put some painkillers in to my drip. My screen is going blurry, so not sure how much more I'm going to be able to type. Lol.

So I had a pretty good night last night. I slept pretty well considering I was attached to a drip, and had to sleep on my back. The nurse came in to check on my a couple of times, but everything was good.

This morning, I've had my breakfast of black coffee, croissant, and a yogurt. Eating is still a little weird, and I managed to drop yougert all down my chin. Better than yesterday thoug, when I still had anaesthetic in my face and couldn't move my lips at all. I never realised how useful lips were til now. Lol.

My face is actually less swollen than it was at bed time. The pain I'm feeling is to be expected. Just achey and swollen around the jawline, but nothing too much. Then the only other thing that's bothering me is is the dressing on my ear. It feels like it isn't flat, like there's a lump in the dressing that's creating a pressure point on my ear. I keep fiddling with it, which I know I shouldn't but it's really irritating the skin there. Hopefully I get to take these initial bandages off, and get the little elasticated head strap soon. The drains are kind of cumbersome also, but I guess they're useful for avoiding haematomas and unnecessary swelling.

I'm feeling really good though. I'd like to be able to go over to Tesco, and get myself a few bits and pieces, but I doubt they'll let me leave here until the drains are out.
