So Swollen

I am very swollen today and got a nice rash from the compression garment irritating my neck (see photo). I went back to work half day yesterday and today which was okay but my mouth is numb still so I am talking like a baby I think.
I'm not loving the look of the chin implant at all, it looks too pointed or something. I am really regretting the implant today. I am hoping it's just the swelling that is making it look bad.
I got my stitches out today which was not bad at all.

How are you feeling now? Has your swelling changed much?

Post op day #3

FinallyTakingCareOfMe
Sunday today, post op day #3. No severe pain but definitely noticing increased swelling, noticeable bruising and tight feeling in the neck and chin area. I took the white bandages off yesterday and am using a compression garment almost 24 hours. The chin area/neck is so itchy, it's driving me nuts. Overall though, not a bad recovery at all! I can honestly say wisdom teeth extraction and/or my c-sections were more painful!

That is great that the recovery is easier than wisdom teeth.  Are you able to hide the compression garment so you can leave the house, or are you just hanging at home for a few days?
