Quick Recovery, Very Happy

Before and after.. almost 6 weeks

WORTH IT
It’s hard to post these, I can’t believe the difference.. Was it hard? Heck yes! About a month of ups and downs, pain and swelling which I still have a bit of.. I still cannot sleep on my side or my face will swell up on that side. But, getting there.
I am going to list all the things I didn’t prepare for.. I did a lot at once so take that into account. But I wish I would’ve had this to read so I would be more prepared.
Endoscopic Brow lift- the incisions in my scalp are painful, still are. The crown of my head and forehead are numb and don’t move (starting to though) .. prior eyebrow tattoos are up on my forehead now (luckily they’re faded)
Lower eyelids.. the only thing I am worried about.. it’s fairly easy to deal with pain wise but one of my lower lids is I guess paralyzed so when I smile it’s very apparent.. I am hoping it is going to resolve, muscles are starting to move More everyday, I am hoping that one will too.
Mid face lift- not much to complain about except the incisions are sore.. but well hidden. My ears are numb and cheeks toward my hairline are numb as well.
Neck lift- this one was a bit of a rough one. I am not sure the name of the procedure, But something was done to the muscles under my chin, it is all tightened up and when you are finished with the surgery it is very tight. Very uncomfortable, It does subside though..Just pretty intense at first.
Full face fat transfer- I feel like this has a lot to do with the ups and downs of my swelling on my face, of course along with the rest of the surgery. I woke up looking different every day and for the first four weeks it was rough thinking I might Stay looking the way I did.
After my surgery, my face was of course all wrapped up, I had drains hanging off my head in 4 places for 2 days. I’ve never taken anything in the way of pain pills so I rationed them in small doses because I am uncomfortable taking them… Somebody who would not be uncomfortable taking them could probably get through it easier. Not that it’s completely unbearable, I got through it but I did have help..Also note that I had a breast augmentation at the same time which I had to heal from as well. I could see each of these procedures on their own, very bearable.. probably 2 at a time pretty bearable.. all that I did was tough. I had some cry time, the first few days and I don’t really cry.. anyway, I just wanted to put all of that out there. When I look at before pics now .. eeekkk lol

Wow! Jenny you look fantastic; almost unbelievable improvement. Such a dream come true for those of us struggling with the loss of our beauty. Please keep posting your progress and let us know how you are doing.
You look FANTASTIC! I’ve been mulling it over but afraid of the pain, down time & anesthesia.
May I ask if you recall how long your surgery took?
Thank you!! I think it was about 5-6 hours.. it’s hard to remember what time I got out, I was in la la land lol

Dr. Lee is awesome! I probably look 20 years younger, no joke. Endoscopic Brow lift, mid facelift and neck lift and also had a breast augmentation. Everything looks great and I am quite happy with my results! ( He is also easy on the eyes! )

How rude ela9199! Why on earth would you say something like that??

Jenny you look amazing, I'm bookmarking this surgeon for the future! Keep us updated on your healing!
Don’t be a hater ela9199. She honestly does. The first picture could be a mother and the second the daughter. Looks like 55 and now 35.
Jerk!!
I m 30y old . I m just beeing honest .
Are you kidding me ? My friends Are 25-35 . She looks good better ( better in her Peer group ) but not Like 35 . No need to Lie here . Its just my opinion
She is probably in her 60s. And now she looks like she is in her 40s.
Not helpful
