Bruising and stitches

WORTH IT$8,210
I bruised a lot due to a pre existing collagen condition I have. Every patients is different, but the other patients there with me did not bruise the way I did.

Obviously, this isn't 4 weeks after I think this was 7 days. My bruising is virtually gone except for one persistent bruise under my left eye.
Thank you for the pictures. The contour of your neck, jawline, cheeks are so youthful. I'm so impressed with your beautiful results. Happy healing.

Verdeza!!

These are some shots of my room at Verdeza, the view I had (!), and one of the meals. The staff was amazing, from the nurses to the wait staff and housekeeping. I could not have asked for a better place to recover.

Oops the salmon carpaccio was actually from a restaurant at Avenida Escazu called Product (c)! It was delicious. Also you can get a glass of wine with your dinner at Verdeza but they only have red.
OMGoodness! I love salmon. It looks like you had a very nice recovery at Verdeza. Cheers!
Mmmm wine too,sounds good to me.Wish I stayed at Verdeza!

It wasn't easy, but it was worth it.

You can see I had extensive bruising, but that is because I have a pre existing condition that causes me to bruise very easily. The other ladies at Verdeza with me did not bruise anywhere near as badly as I did - simply because of my collagen disorder. Which is also why my skin got so droopy. :(

I admire Dr. Lev's suture work. I can tell that once healed, your scar will not be noticeable. I'm happy for you. Thank you for posting pictures.
I don't know what happened I posted some other pics of my bruises I'll try to upload them again.
You look amazing and the salmon looks fab
