How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

7 weeks post-op
I put on makeup last weekend for the first time in months and, in wonderment, found I no longer needed to contour/shade my jawline…something I’d done for decades. Still baffled and thrilled by this new self experience! Someone asked awhile back for photos of my scars, so I post some here — difficult as they are to get right — as well as a few update photos. More later.
Almost 5 weeks post-op update...feeling good!
I was cleared to work out again last week, which I may have leapt upon too excitedly, much to the dismay of my glutes and quads, oy. There are still parts of my jawline and upper cheeks that are quite numb, but the numbness disappears a bit week by week, and the tightness in my neck and philtrum is loosening. I got a hair cut last week, shorter than I've had in decades, because I no longer feel the need to camouflage my neck and jawline with curls. There are some nights, after my husband has already gone to bed, that I go into our bathroom, take out the little hand mirror, and just gaze at myself from all angles in awe and happiness. I truly had no idea that I could be this happy with my reflection...that it could matter so much. I spent so much time avoiding mirrors and selfies and photos at certain angles that it was just a given. I'm slowly learning I no longer need the unconscious compensatory behaviors or avoidances...it's a learning curve. More later.
...this is going to be fun!
I am adding a couple of photos to the review...Realself won't let me post an update with new photos without adding at least 200 characters of filler, so that is what I am doing, lol. I am at the almot 3-week mark, and feeling hopeful about swelling and numbness abating a bit. More later!
