Turning 60 and Don't Wanna Look It Anymore Dr. Marco Carmona in Cancun Mexico?

Just a quick one: I came to completely accept all the little discomforts and concerns like tightness, numbness, random swellings, intermittent visible cord in my neck. Overall I knew it was still a vast improvement and success, and I stopped thinking about it so much.

Yesterday I was driving and glanced n the mirror - and I noticed that I LOVED the look of my neck and jaw. So I snapped a couple of pics.

I had cataract surgery 2 weeks ago (I'm becoming bionic) and the doctor cut a blood vessel in my eye. Cosmetically it's horrid and certainly not confidence inspiring, still alls fine, but hence the shades.

Hello. I've had a good recovery so far, in general. A couple of weeks ago I had a bit of a freakout because of that tight corded muscle in my neck. Per Dr. Carmona's advice I have been massaging it, and my whole neck. It's helping a lot, not only on that area but to relieve tightness and make it feel easier to move. I have quite a bit of numbness in various places and that itch that's hard to scratch that others have mentioned. Most of my swelling seems to be gone and, unbelievably, I miss it in some ways! When it was pretty even, my face looked fuller - a feature that many of us lose as we age. When the swelling was not even, however, I mostly looked like a person who'd had a real rough night, if not worse. The healing is clearly not done and I notice changes from day to day. I am very happy with the results and would do it over again any time.

Well, after all my happiness and positivity, I have to face the reality that there is something not quite right about my neck. I've mentioned before how much I have hated touching below my right ear, where the ear, jaw corner and neck kind of converge. I even referred to it as "weird aging ballet teacher neck," or something like that. It was just creepy and numb and didn't feel right, so I avoided touching it altogether. Yesterday I was taking some selfies (the interminable hobby of adolescents and Real Selfers) with the intention of posting them here - and I saw it. At first I thought it was just caused by the way the light was hitting my face when I took the pictures, but, no. I have a super ugly bulging cord on the right side of my neck. It's hard to the touch; not always visible but if I strain my neck at all, including by making some facial expressions like a big smile, it sticks out A LOT. Totally noticeable if my hair is not down. Hair down pretty much hides it. I also noticed in the selfies that my dark circle (formerly black eye) on the right is very much still there. I thought it was gone. I don't really spend very much time at a mirror in general and when the shock and newness of my procedures wore off a bit I stopped paying attention. Even with the bulging and horrible looking neck cord and eternal black eye, overall my appearance is still improved since I had this stuff done and I do not regret it. But I'm bummed.
