Co2 Laser Resurfacing with Fat Transfer to Face. Delray Beach, FL

ORIGINAL POST

It's not exactly a walk in the park. Not that...

joaniewoanie
It's not exactly a walk in the park. Not that there's pain but it's very very uncomfortable. Your face feels tight and swollen and slightly burned. All you do is grease it with aquaphor
And cleanse it with Cetaphll....after a couple of days you feel very crusty and itchy.
The keyword here is yucky ......my energy level is way down because of the procedure diminishing the energy. But I am very confident that it will resume
very shortly.you have to sleep on your back which is not the most comfortable position. I am now on day five and will post more pictures with more reviews for you people to see. I think it's good that we share this procedure. I will try to post pictures below but I did a practice on it and it came out lopsided so bear with it please

I'm on day five now and I am shedding crusty skin .I am seeing a very small
amount of progress.my chest burns when the shower hits it so I try to use a paper cup to let the water go over my chest.......patience is the key word....My pictures straightened out thankfully ...... This is a wonderful place for people who are concerned about different procedures . Please share .....

you're going to look wonderful!!!! I had FX CO2 Laser, fat transfers, facelift, upper and lower eyes plus coronal brow lift done by Dr. Westine and I'm so pleased with the results. If you have time, look at my post her on RS.

Can you tell me if the Dr had you take any prednisone for the swelling and itching? I was told 10 mg for 3 days

Hi JW, it appears you had your neck and chest done as well, how do they feel? Also were under sedation when you had this done?
October 23, 2015
Yes...neck and chest were done as well...they healed well after applying lots of aquaphor and covering chest with Saran Wrap to protect clothes. Face still swollen but not as bad.. And had Mac Iv sedation and didn't feel a thing. Slept through the procedure. Neck and chest peeled off well. Seeing doc today.
