2 Weeks Post Op
2 weeks today! I'm feeling really good, still very tight feelin I inside my jawline and sides of my neck, and swollen just in front of my ears. Hubby said it's gone down a lot. I'm putting vasoline only, on the incisions.
Incision under my chin has healed, but very pink. Healing well in front and around ears, but those are pretty tender.
Went camping this weekend and it was a great get away. Couldn't get in the water past wading, but the weather was beautiful. I wore a big hat, sunscreen and a tshirt around my neck. Looked hilarious! It felt good to get out of the house. Nobody looked at me like I was weird.
I've always had a bit of sub glandular protrusion under my jawline, but was not willing to have them shaved or cut out...def not worth the risk.

9 Days Post Op
Today is 9 days Post op and I'm feeling wonderful! Yesterday was my first follow-up appointment with my doctor… He remove the staples and some stitch knots. I have a little irritation on my right ear lobe from the peroxide and Polysporin, so now I will be using mild soap and water with Vaseline. It has already cleared up since yesterday. I am getting little tingles and twitches on my surgery site, which is normal and part of the healing process. I'm taking Tylenol during the day and 1/2 Norco at bedtime. I cannot believe the transformation in one week… My swelling is definitely going down on the sides of my head/cheeks but they are still numb. I slept so much better last night with the staples removed… He said I didn't have to elevate anymore, but it felt better to sleep on an extra pillow. No more face sling… Yay!
Day 6
I skipped day five since there's not much change… My bruising is lessening… Getting very yellow in fading. Not sure where that one came from on my chin, it's not doing much of anything. I guess my skin is pulling behind my ears… It wakes me up about 4 o'clock in the morning aching terribly. I took a half a pain pill, and then I'll use Tylenol during the day. It seems to get better once I get up and move around … And have my coffee!
Provider Review
Board Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon
17000 Baxter Rd., Chesterfield, Missouri
The BEST!!! Dr. Maack is double certified in facial reconstruction and ENT Medicine. He has the most calming, soothing voice and attitude, yet the utmost confidence and knowledge. I knew from my very first consultation that this was the doctor to perform this facelift. He's very conservative and experienced. The entire process has been wonderful. The ladies in the office and surgery center were so attentive and sweet. I highly recommend Dr. Maack.
