I’m in my 50s and decided I didn’t like the sagging neck and jowls. I interviewed 3 drs. I am 3 days post op and it wasn’t bad at all. I just took off bandage today to clean incisions. Hardly any blood. Will post after one week. I prepared by drinking vitamin c and POM pomegranate juice all week. No alcohol either. Pain was tolerable. First day I took extra strength Tylenol and the prescription pain Med. Day 2 and 3 I just took Tylenol. I slept upright on pillows and iced when awake. Couldn’t open mouth much to eat so I had eggs pudding. Juice. Pasta. Was up the 2nd day fine.

My bruising is still bad but Dr said it’s because I didn’t bleed much. I didn’t bleed at all on day 1 or 2. Bruising is the result of blood under the skin. I wish now I would have bled but that’s how my skin reacted....Very happy going forward as result looks super. Minimal swelling still to subside. Numbness under chin and along front of ears is expected. It will take a few more weeks. Still sore to touch but can open mouth and chew much better. Much progress in 7 days. Happy I’m on the upside now.
