Profound RF for 60 Year Old

I had my procedure done by Dr. Persky in Encino, CA. They started by numbing my face with a lotion. They typically give patients a shot of demerol, but demerol makes me vomit so they gave me a Xanax and Tramadol (a pain killer). The worst part of the entire procedure for me were the nerve blocks. Those hurt. It's kind of like when you're getting novacaine at the dentist...the needle goes in and then starts moving around to spread it around. Aaargh. I can't say with certaintly how many I had (thank you Xanax) but I believe I had at least 6 of them in the different areas of my face. I could occassionally feel the needles from the Profound procedure, and it does really hurt so I guess I understand the nerve blocks, although I think I'd look for alternative pain relief if I did it again.
I did stop all supplements ahead of time as recommended to help stop bruising and started taking Arnica Montana 4 days prior to the procedure, but even before I left the office it was clear I was going to bruise like a mother. But I am a bruiser...and I don't think there's any way around that for me.
I had this done late yesterday afternoon and woke up with a lot of swelling and bruising, although no pain. My upper lip is swollen enough that I talk funny. I also still have some continued numbness around my forehead.
I'll post photos and updates daily.

Last night was the first night I slept flat (it was recommended to sleep sitting up for the first 48 hours) and wow...that wasn't a good idea. My face felt swollen again as well as my upper lip and I woke up with a black eye. I did start seeing some minor bruising around the inside corners of my eyes yesterday, but wasn't expecting a black eye. I guess the eye bruising is a result of the Profound on my forehead. As I've stated, I am a real bruiser and I'm learning that I need to expect double the normal recovery time.
