Had to nip to do some grocery shopping today so a bit of make up for 1st time since procedure. Swelling gradually going down and bruising fading BUT it is a slow process!

You look FANTASTIC!!!
What an amazing result so far. You have far less swelling than I had at your stage (although I had more done) you are right though healing is a slow process...
You look very good. Who is the Doctor that did surgery? I'm very much interested in getting some work done for my mom
Thank you for posting. Please keep us posted! You look fabulous.Far too few South Africans are posting, goodness only knows why, and we cannot afford to go overseas for surgery as our ZAR (South African Rand) is worth next to nothing and devaluing against all the major currencies as I type!I am interested in a face & neck lift, a tummy tuck & maybe breast lift/reconstruction.. But I want it right the first time.So,thanks, again for posting!
Do you live in South Africa. What an deal on the cost of that good facelift!

Day 6 of recovery

Not much change appearance wise. Minimal discomfort- neck very yellow. Still a lot of swelling from fat transfer in temples and mid face. Yeah, originally said I wouldn't to it but softened stance. My teenage son says I look like a brick face ????
The swelling is diminishing daily, but think it will be another week before I frighten people in public!

PS: excuse the many typo's, can't blame painkillers anymore, just carelessness!
Oh well (ignoring the bruising) that's just fabulous!
Such a difference.
Oh, and slap that boy for calling you a brick face!
Thank you! Looked at incisions today & nice and tidy. Just getting impatient with being cooped up at home for sooooo long. Teenage boys are a menace.... Then there is my husband that thinks I look like a praying mantis :)
Oh well do remind him what female praying mantis are know for...! ;)
Ouch comments from the male relatives, but ignore, as you look great!(Laughed at Biene Maya's rejoinder above!)

Day 3 of recovery

Less pain today- neck a bit stiff, but not sure if it's from sleeping propped up on pillows or from the surgery at this stage. Had a peek under face bandage & despite the swelling was delighted with tighter and improved jawline.
