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!

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?
