  • 23 Mar 2012
A couple months out and the swelling keeps going down -- it is NOT anything anyone would notice, even ME, but I can feel it with my hands and slightly I can tell on the sides that under my jawline there is more swelling to go down. But there's no way anyone else would ever be able to tell - not even from 3 weeks after the surgery out. it is a very subtle but effective surgery. Directly under my chin is still numbish... my jowls are still slightly sore if I press on them, so I'm hoping that means they will also go down a little in time. The volume difference from before surgery is substantial. I think it was worth it, finally officially changing the status of my evaluation from 'not sure' to 'worth it'.

So it's been about 3 weeks. Most of the obvious bruising was gone a week ago, and I was able to stop wearing cowls. Which is good, because Mardi gras was very warm and I would have looked ridiculous! In my newest pictures you can see that there is some remnant bruising on my jowls (up on my lower cheek). My profile is much better, and head-on my jaw is better (less heavy)... there is still swelling around my jaw, and there is still a lot of numbness but it was greatly improved after 2 weeks, and gets better all the time. At 2 weeks there was still blue bruising way down on my chest from gravity. I still wake up sometimes thinking that there is something extra around my neck (from the stiff, swollen parts), and sometimes I still have some discomfort and even slight pain when chewing. I'm still deciding whether or not it was worth $3100. I think probably so... but waiting to see how I look after more swelling subsides. No one has said anything to me, other than the people I told.

Day 11... sometimes I forget there's a problem but then I move my neck a little too much and feel the tightness, or go to wash my face and remember how swollen and tender it still is. I really hate that there is bruising showing up ON my face now, where my jowels are. You can tell in the day 11 pic... but the other bruising is a lot better... I can't wait until I can stop wearing crap around my neck. At least the weather has been merciful and not too warm so that I don't look suspicious.

Once I see my results I'll reassess his rating :O). Right now 4 of 5. Pretty confident in him... UPDATE - he is a very good surgeon. He did wonderful work. The cost included all fees for the operating room. It took a few weeks to get a consultation but the office worked with me to make it possible for surgery to be scheduled the next week after, so that was nice, as I was ready ready!! The staff is very kind, available, and ready to help you. I'm dealing with a couple of other drs and their offices for other things right now, and these folks are refreshing. The office and the operating room are in a big mansion on St. Charles. The operating area is especially true to the old home, which made me very comfortable because it is a beautiful, familiar environment (New Orleans architecture etc). The Dr has been practicing there for about 16 years, and I liked what I saw about his previous work. His bedside manner is friendly, calm and non-accusatory. I really liked the operating room nurse, very genuine person... everyone I encountered was nice and took their time with me to make sure everything was right, and EVERYONE asked me about my allergies which was very reassuring, because I have many drug allergies and I've had several doctors over my life prescribe me things I told them I'm allergic to.
