I did a photo comparison of my before and after and what a difference!!! No more turkey neck and the lower face looks much better too. So glad I did it! It makes me feel so much better.
Dr Portuese in Seattle did an amazing job. I liked the fact that he specializes in facial surgery and has decades of experience.

Day 45 update

Chin - swelling down but still there
Neck - sweeping down but some still there. Movement is back to almost normal
Ears - nobody can tell anything happened as all the incisions cannot be seen
- face front - I still see some jowls there but not sure if this is the best that it can be?
Exercise is back to normal the last couple weeks
Slowly but surely

I had to look that up as I had no clue what that was. My ears are the same they were before…as far as I know :-)

Scars look good..who was the surgeon? I also wonder about the under chin swelling and the lines around the mouth...swelling, or not pulled tight enough??

Day 21 Update

What has changed?

1) swelling in neck significantly down. The remaining should be gone next week I imagine
2) swelling under neck still there although I’ve felt it not be as “hard” as it was
3) returned to exercise although doing very low weight, taking frequent rests in between sets and a little bit more intensity on cardio equipment
4) I swam today and it was good. I took it very easy. I brought a full face snorkeling mask and I would alternate between one lap normal swim, a couple laps with the snorkeling mask and other drills to minimize the turn of the head when I had to breathe. I will see how my neck feels later or tomorrow
5) neck movement is much better. I would say about 80%. Much easier to drive. I haven’t driven other than in my small town and right now I would dare drive on the highway yet
6) bruising I think it is gone. I don’t see it anymore
