One year later. Revision done.

Right after the first surgery, I noticed little problem areas. I waited a year to see if they would resolve. But they never did. A funny lump under my ear, two sunken areas on the right side. The scar on the right side was large and visible. The scar under my chin had moved over and a bit of skin sagged down on one side. Dr. Clement was very kind and happy to do the fixes whenever I was ready. I just went in a week ago. He fixed my complaints as best he could, and I think I look better.

Still waiting to get minor problems fixed. Can't take the time off from work. Here I am at ten months.

You are still looking great! I'm going for a minor revision to my neck......I understand about saving time at work to take care of these things!

Congratulations on feeling and looking good! I'm 6 weeks post op, and it these weeks have been very hard as my eyes look weird and the fat transfer to my face is very prominent, which makes me look distorted. My PS tells me to wait 3 months for the swelling to subside, and the responses from the other surgeons on RealSelf say that it takes 3-6 months to start seeing results. Did you find marked improvement in your swelling at 3 months? How was that different from when you hit the 6 month mark. It seems like an eternity to have to wait that long, but I understand the healing takes time.

I'm sorry, I am just now seeing this note. How are you feeling about things, now?

Hi Sgwtexas,
I recently made my 4 month mark, and I'm finally beginning to feel better about the outcome although still not satisfied. For now, I'm attributing it to the swelling still present and the fat transfer to the cheeks. At 4 months, did you find you still had swelling in the cheek area? Did you also have swelling in the lower jaw area? My face looks wide and heavy--and a bit masculine. I remain hopeful that the continued improvement will lead to a more feminine and more attractive face as I've been told by both surgeons and the women who've gone through these types of procedures. I didn't expect for the healing to take this long.
Thanks,
Ruz

I cant say that I had a lot of swelling left at four months. I looked a little strange for about a month. Then for a while I looked really good because of, i think, a type of underlayer swelling that made me look younger. Then on my son's birthday, which was six weeks out, suddenly the underswelling started to collapse, then I looked really lumpy and weird. From that point on, many small problems were apparent that never resolved. Including looking gaunt on one side.
I do not know why you would look heavier and more masculine. Did the doctor build up your cheekbones? Mine did. Have you gained weight while in recovery? I'll see if you have any pictures posted.

You are looking just beautiful! You must be so pleased.
I'm kind of glad to see where you are at the 10 week mark. Since I'm only at 2 weeks out, I'm anticipating some additional changes to my own lift. I don't like the hard numbness in front of the ears either but it's good to know that you're "50% better" is a marker I can look for. Thanks for sharing the photo and your beautiful new face!
