Wow! I had no idea that I was going to experience...
Wow! I had no idea that I was going to experience as much swelling as I did post op... The machine that was used was Cynosure ---- found out today that the fractional part was set at what was an equivalent to 35% coverage of skin and the rest of the settings were set at levels used as if it were a fully ablative procedure... in other words, this was an aggressive treatment... thank you... would not have wanted it any other way... last week, which was the first days post op, were a challenge to say the least... I had to use lots and lots of Aquaphor... do water with vinegar soaks regularly.... I have been telling everyone that I am in cosmetic jail.... be housebound for 2 full weeks... but come Monday, July 27th, I will get to apply lots and lots of sunscreen along with makeup and let the world see the new me!
here I am 2 days shy of 2 weeks past surgery...
I still have a good bit more healing to do... but at least I am presentable to the world at large!
2.5 WEEKS POST SURGERY
17 days exactly post surgery.... my cheeks are so very, very smooth.... I have been using a very heavy foundation, but today I went back to Hensel's office to consult with a nurse about the obagi skin product and I left with a much, much lighter foundation that will do the coverage over the redness just as well, if not better.. I also had to go and pick up a powder so that I can have a more matte finish.. I am looking forward to see how this comes together tomorrow morning when I apply the new skin care cosmetics... Also, have the obagi moisturizer which is very rich in shea butter... again, looking forward to see a more natural camouflage of the redness .... here is the next before and after picture...
