You look so Beautiful! I agree on the lighting and camera angles! I'm at three weeks but lots of swelling just on my feet with cooking so I'm holding off the gym until next Monday. After all this we don't want to push it right!
You look great- me too still
Swelling - it takes time- but end results well worth it'!
You look great - can't believe how little swelling you have. I am day 17 & still so swollen :-(
Are you really swollen? I did not notice it on your latest pics. I looked up how long we are to expect to have "some" swelling, and general consensus is at the latest 3-6 months. Everything kind of gravitates south, and this applies to the tissue swelling we have from FL. It is pretty good to know:))))
Yes I think I might have been somewhat optimistic in my recovery time estimation :-( so I am telling myself 3 - 6 months now. The swelling is in the side of my face & neck area & my head sort of feels like a foreign object still - only time it feels normal is when I stick my head under in the bath - but I have to get out sometime lol
So pretty...you were very pretty before too, but can definitely see the lightening in the jowl area and your eyes look great! How do you feel about the results (knowing still early days)...do you feel like the procedure gave the effect you were hoping for?
Well, I am still not seeing much difference. I hope that my "just after surgery" look is my true recovery appearance. I am not certain if this is typically what to expect. I had no jowling after surgery, now I do. I really hope it is just the swelling, which I am assuming.
You look lovely! I'm glad things have gone so smoothly for you and that your recovery is well on its way. For what it's worth, your before pictures were quite lovely too, but you look rejuvenated and refreshed. How are the incisions at the temple and the brow healing? I couldn't quite make out the placement of the brow incision from the photo you posted that showed it - I've generally seen brow lift incisions placed back behind the hairline in the scalp or right along the edge of the hairline. Do you know what type of brow lift you had done? Just curious, as I couldn't tell from the photo. In any case you look great and appear to have pulled off the hardest part of the challenge with finesse.
Not sure of the brow lift "name", however, the surgery went like this: cut skin, pull skin back, cut under skin, pull, pull skin back more, cut more under skin, pull, use "burn" utensil, stitch skin. The brow healing and the rest is fine, I almost am worried:)))))) Best, M

2 Weeks out!
Everything super here. Have tightness in neck, behind ears, and in hairline. Other than that, this FL experience has gone really well. I am convinced, by the way, that the key to a decent picture is distance, angle, and lighting:))))))) I have a couple doosy's I am not sharing:))))))))))))) Blessings all! M
