Yeah I found your review. So glad you made the leap to join us. It really helped mr to read reviews of theirs having the same or similar procedures. No wimping out now girl. You are one of us now. Welcome! Glad to have you on our team! Get ready today and know we are praying for you. You might experience a couple of difficult days but by day 3 to 4 all settles down. I used the pain meds but today at day 5 I came easily stop. Discomfort but no real pain. Most of my pain was from another condition I have so don't base your recovery on mine. Most ladies say one to two days on relief meds was all they needed. Some even say they needed none at all. It just wasn't my story so I took the meds for longer. Get rested and stay hydrated. Are you spending the night in hospital?

Oh,I was fine until this morning and I took two pain pills and slept all day,I have taken a shower and feel fine now except for a rouge stich going in my eye so I trimmed it all is well.I do have two big lumps on my neck and am messaging with arnica cream.

By the way I should add you are really beautiful to start with. Your doctor has a great canvas to work on! Gosh you are going to be even prettier if possible, and definitely firmer girl. And we like firmness in that dreaded neck region!

70 years old neck ,finally did it on Nov3.

The surgery was a breeze,Mozart was playing ,I was very relaxed and only felt a few shots,I slept most of the time.My Dr made me feel totally at ease.I ''unmasked my self today for a bath and loved what I saw,my cheeks and neck are swollen but I can see a jawline that left town years ago.I am over the moon with my neck, all that useless skin has hit the road,good riddance.

I'm so glad to hear you're doing well and that you're already pleased with the results! I hope it's smooth sailing all the way.

I would have that lump looked at right away. Looks like a hematoma?
Maybe email a photo to the dr for advise.

Your neck looks great, but definitely ask your surgeon about the lumpiness asap.
November 5, 2015
I will see him tomorrow,It is much better today.
November 5, 2015
So glad to hear it's better AND that you're seeing him. That sort of thing always scares me :).
November 5, 2015
I am scared now that I read about them.....tomorrow he will drain them.I will not get myself all wound up ....yet.
November 5, 2015
I completely understand being scared about it (god knows, I was (am :/) scared of everything to do with my surgery and recovery), but you asked your surgeon about it early and he's on top of it. No doubt he will give you all the reassurance tomorrow (nothing like hearing your surgeon say 'it's normal' or 'it's fine' or (the favourite) 'wait and see', all of which are very calming, even if the latter is super frustrating :)). Best of luck tomorrow.
