Endolift - 52, 48 hours post procedure

I'm almost 48 hours post procedure and want to share my experience. I'm 52 and I've tried other skin tightening treatments like Exillis and Sofwave which didn't last. The Sofwave worked somewhat but the Exillis definitely didn't. I first want to confirm that it was relatively painless but my doctor did mention that I have a high pain tolerance. The most discomfort I felt was during the numbing process when he had to inject the lidocaine but even that was tolerable. The procedure itself didn't hurt but the sound of crackling bacon was a little alarming since I was imaging my skin cooking (it wasn't!). So far, I don't have any pain, no bruising and I thankfully don't have the asymmetrical smile I was warned about. I'm still swollen quite a bit, but I went to an event yesterday with my hair covering my cheeks and my friends said they couldn't tell. I shared a few before pictures but I'll continue to share my progress.
