Day 4 - 4 weeks Progress
WORTH IT
I'm updating my progress at one month post-op with some pics from day 4 - 4 weeks. You will see the progress by the pics.
Surgery day:
The surgery itself is not painful, just the tightness feeling. I woke up feel nausea, but felt better after anti nausea pill. I had 2 drains on the head, I don't even feel them until care giver pointed it out. Went back to hotel, slept till 2nd day.
Day 2: Had Dr appointment. I'm supposed to remove drains on the 2nd day. However, my right side of drain seems not working well, so my right eye was swelling due to fluid accumulations. Dr Lee squeezed some liquid from right face down to the drain, & decided to not to remove the drains until next Monday, which is day 4. Also did light stim to reduce the swelling.
Day 3:
Swelling on my right eye reduced a lot. Felt much better.
Day 4: The swelling is almost gone. Went to see Dr Lee to remove the Drains. Drains were removed. The Nurse Susanna changed new wrap & did light Stim.
Day 7: The staples were removed. Such a relief! See pics, during the process of whole surgery, I don't have bruises, except some yellow color under my eyes on the cheeks area. Very limited swelling too. Flew home afterwards.
Day 8: woke up feeling very itchy on my ear. Saw some yellow oozing. Very nervous so I called the Dr office & sent couple of pics for Dr Lee to take a look. He said tha I put too much antibiotics ointment that caused skin irritations. I felt relieved, at least it's not the infection, stopped using ointment.
2 weeks: Everything was good. Went to Dr office to have stitches removed. The nurse Susanna Said the incision heals great. The stitches were removed. See the pics.
3 weeks: Continued Recovery.
4 weeks: Starting to do some light workout. The incisions looks great. Fully healed. See pics.
Each day feels better especially the first week, you can see the difference every day.
I will keep you guys updated in 2 months.

i noticed some smiling lines & wrinkles on the corner of my mouths after I was over 40. It became more worse & more noticeable after I turn 50. I don't like to take pics on high resolution camera. It bothers me because I feel I'm still young.
I did my research for couple of months & find Dr. Peter Lee at Wave Plastic Surgery.

Nice results.
Thanks for your compliments. I'm Very happy for the results. I'm now over 5 weeks. My Face looks more natural & more relaxed. The tightness feeling is gone a lot on the skin, but I know it's still healing.
The good things are even my best friend did not notice that I had a procedure done :)
I did lose some fats, but some fats stayed.
