ABOUT 5 WEEKS PO

Well, I've had a slight complication and now have pneumonia. I'm assuming it's from being intubated for so long for the tummy tuck portion of my surgery. I am really sick and coughing constantly, which has not helped the healing process or swelling of either my tummy or my chin.

Anyway, I posted new chin pics. i am starting to tell a difference again. My ps said 4-5 months to see final results, so I'm looking forward to more changes. But I'm very happy with the results so far. I have been having more pain in my neck the last few weeks (started before the pneumonia). It's almost like severe muscle spasms. I'm usually able to do some really hard massage and the pain eases up.

You look great! I had my neck, chin and arms done last Thursday and I have major bruising everywhere. I'm still taking Arnica and Bromelain but the bruising is bad. How many incisions did you have? I had one under my chin and two near my ears.

Are you happy with your results? Its been 3 years now right? I'm at almost 8 weeks for lipo on my neck and I'm itching a lot. Results are ok. Not satisfied though.

PO 16 DAYS

Chin is still swollen and tender in some places. There is one spot that is really painful, just started today. It almost feels like a muscle cramp. I keep trying to massage it out, but it's not helping much. Saw my ps Tuesday. He said it looks good. Final results on the chin don't show up usually for several months, so I have a long way to go. But I can tell the skin is getting tighter. Still wearing the chin strap to bed at night and will for several more weeks. I'll be glad when that's over. It's not very comfortable!

PO DAY 5
I am finally starting to see some real changes to my chin. I've added new pics below so you can see. It's definitely more obvious from the front view, but I'm also still really swollen, so I'm sure the changes will be more pronounced over time. The dark spots on my chin and neck are the incisions/stitches.
