2 week update
Hi all.
Well its now been 2 weeks since I had my op. I have had ups and downs in that time. I am now relatively pain free and have not took painkillers for 3 or 4 days now. Most of the bruising and swelling has gone but wounds are taking longer to heal than expected. I am taking an extra 3 or 4 days holiday from work to hopefully heal the wounds. The front of right ear and behind my left ear wounds have healed excellently. Unfortunately the left front and behind right ear wounds are taking longer to close up totally. I have been washing and spraying them with an antiseptic wash then applying Vaseline every day. I just have to be patient and they will heal. The only thing that has bothered me is the creasing behind my ears but they are getting less noticeable and I have been told they will disappear within a few months.
I am now at the stage where I am thinking if I actually had anything done as I`m used to what I see in the mirror. Your mind starts playing tricks on you.
I have uploaded before and after pics to compare.

This is now a full week since my facelift. I had a check up today and the doctor said I am healing well and that the creases at the back of my ear are normal for the type of facelift I had(short scar) and that they will level out over time.
I asked about the pain and stiffness I get when I laugh or smile and I was told to start doing that more often to get the muscle working again and loosen it.
Thanks for all the support on here!

6th day update
I feel that I am fully in the healing phase now. As the week has went on pain has increased a little, as has bruising, now I feel bruising, swelling and pain is slowly all decreasing. I also feel that the wounds at the front of my ears are definitely getting better. The wounds at the back of my ears are bit lumpy and creased but I have swelling there and read lots of comments online that this is normal for behind the ears as they take longer to heal.
I will grow my hair longer to cover this and keep my beard for a little while to help hide the wounds and scars.
