Neck and cheek lift after 100ish pound weight loss

WORTH IT
In 2009 I lost 100 pounds after being overweight my entire life. My mom put me on Weight Watchers in second grade. So, lifelong struggle.
Since 2009, I've gained and lost the same 25 points. My total weight loss today sit at about 75 pounds. The state of my neck has always bothered me and it was finally time to have it taken care of. As I write this, I'm 6 days out and can't believe the results I'm already seeing!

Good for you for taking the plunge and doing it. I'm 6 days out from my neck/ lower facelift. I can already see results but the neck tightness is pretty freaky feeling. Also have lumps (muscle) behind my ears that's pretty swollen. I know it's early...excited and nervous all at once!

Day 1 - super swollen, but not in pain, just ton of numbness. My ears feel really weird, I like I’ve been wearing AirPods for 24 hours. Odd feeling to describe, but that the best way I can think of it!

Day 2 is a lot like Day 1. Swollen a ton in my neck and lymph nodes. Not really in pain per se, just discomfort. The insides of my ears are probably what is bothering me most, I feel like I have had AirPods in my ears for at least 24 hours. It is a strange feeling and hard to describe, but that is the closest analogy I can think of!
