Over 3 weeks now post surgery!
WORTH IT
Went back in for a quick 2nd check with Dr. Koch. I have tremendous confidence in him but I mentioned that I was a little worried that the stitches placed near my temple above my left ear -that it may be pulling on my eyelid?? He reassured me that everything appeared perfectly normal and all was healing exactly as it should be. He then injected a tiny amount of cortisone to the incision site near my left temple to help to reduce the swelling for that area. As promised, it helped:) Whew! Between 2nd and 3rd week I am dramatically feeling and looking better!!

Need to edit my previous posts.. the timeline is now over a week post surgery -not 3 days. My swelling is substantially less! I still look very puffy but feeling oh so much better! I will attempt, in detail, to trace my steps back on those days following my procedure as best I can. I know I rely on this website for real honest unbiased reviews so I want to make sure I don’t gloss over anything ..now that I am feeling ALMOST back to norma!

Still swollen as to be expected ..but starting to see Dr. Koch’s magic!
I’m not gonna lie the days after procedure were very uncomfortable. I had a full 48 hours of nausea. And oh my.. the swelling! Ice packs helped but be prepared to not recognize yourself for QUITE awhile. I was prescribed a Medrol pack to help, which did. At my follow up visit, my sutures we’re treated with a gentle ultrasound treatment to assist in expediting the healing process. Though I have been very sick in recovering.. wow! I can already see that my neck is flawless!

Have you got any stitches behind your ears as well? Or are they only in front of the ears?
Yes, hidden in the hairline.
