Confident and reassuring doctor - recovery was exactly as he said
Still healing but seeing results!
17 DPO
Sutures are still inflamed and it still feels like there’s food lodged in my bottom lip.
Bruise is significantly better from my update a week ago. It’s been much easier to cover up with makeup this weekend. I could be imagining things, but I also started working out again yesterday and I could swear the activity helped it.
Swelling has decreased a lot but it’s still there. Doc said this could take up to a month if not a couple months before I see final results!

Confident and reassuring doctor
I first came to know of Dr. Wittenberg when I worked at a local dental office - even back then, he had an outstanding industry reputation as one of the best oral & maxillofacial surgeons out there. He did my wisdom tooth surgery over a decade ago, but more recently I went to him for chin contouring.
A total vanity-driven procedure on my part, but still, it's my face we're talking about. I wanted someone who knows every aspect of the facial bones, contours, nerves and everything, but more importantly, I wanted an artist. That's him. I was admittedly apprehensive saying yes, particularly because there was no tangible plan of action that I could rely on – no renderings, or anything to assure me of the outcome – just a pure leap of faith that you're in good hands and that he knows what he's doing.
Thankfully, he takes the time to listen, and he is soft-spoken, personable, calm, confident and reassuring. It was all I needed to feel confident as well. So far, recovery has been exactly as he said it would be: easy. The results are slowly peeking through and overall, I'm very satisfied about the investment. Thank you doc.
