These pictures are from yesterday 6th day post surgery. I am trying to wean off the narchotics and only took 2 hydrcodine yesterday 8 hours in between but had to take 2 more in the evening as the pain increased. My ears bothered me all day. The staples were also bothering me. I tried some cold gel packs on the staples and that seemed to help. Hope today will be better pain wise.
Now look at this chin! Does it look too big for my face? I feel like I have a cross between Rene Russo and Jay Leno's chin! I know I am still swollen but every time I pass the mirror I am a little shocked by the image. Please honest opinion, isn't it a little big? Masculine? I am staying positive and deciding that I will get used to it and love it in time. But I would like to hear honest opinions.

I can't say enough good about Dr. Lev. I have looked at a lot of pictures on this site and I feel sorry for some of the people whose doctors did not seem skilled enough to hide the stitches and the stitches are bulky and irregular, that is going to leave nasty scars. Dr. Lev is very skilled in stich placement and application. It takes the surgeon more time but is worth it for the patient's results. And I honesty believe Dr. Lev cares about the patient and takes pride in his work. Add that to his 28 years of experience and you have a surgeon that consistently produces great results.
