51 year old with that married the great thanksgiving day turkey and howdy doody on her face

I am 2 months post op from a lower face and neck lift. He also did restalyne on my upper lip to reduce the fine wrinkles. I am thrilled with my results. I still have swelling in my face, ears and behind my ears and I still have numbness (ears, behind ears, side of face and back of head). The numbness is decreasing each day. I have more swelling on my left side than my right, which I was told by Dr. Lyos that is normal. I was on pain meds for 1.5 weeks and I took super bromelain and arnica 200 mg (bought both at whole foods) to reduce inflammation and pain. My swelling was at its worst on Xmas day (4 days post op). The most uncomfortable aspect of this surgery was the feeling that I was choking bc my neck was so tight. That got better after the 2nd week and was lots better at a month. I had minimal bruising. The other hard part of this surgery was having to sleep on the incline pillow on my back. That was miserable for me bc I am not one to sleep on my back. The stiches in the back of my head I could not get accustomed to and they itched, so i took benadryl (2 tablets). Until I was able to sleep normally (4 weeks post op), I felt sleep deprived. No one outside of my immediate family can tell that I have swelling or a proecdure done. The swelling will reduce and I will eventually begin to see the definition between my cheeks and jaw line. My biggest concern before my surgery was pain management. I spoke with Dr. Lyos about my concern and how I have no pain tolerance. He managed my pain very well and I also did not get sick due to the anesthesia bc of the techniques that he utilized. What I love about Dr. Lyos' work is that instead of my looking like I had a face lift, people just think that I am less stressed because I left my former job. I wanted the face lift to look natural and it does. I highly recommend Dr. Lyos.

Here is another 3 month post op pic. I still have some swelling in my cheeks, behind my ears and on the side of my face. I have more swelling on my left side than I do my right (Which is normal). No one can tell that I had a face lift. REsults just 3 months post op are amazing. Dr. Lyos' work is amazing.

Photos before (May 2016) and 3 months post op (March 2017). At 3 months post op, I still have swelling in my cheeks (more on my left side than right), behind my ears and at the sides of my face. My face looks really good at 3 months. Dr. Lyos' work is amazing.
