Glad that you are healing well :)
Thank you for keeping us posted although is kind of hard to see your results on the pictures.

Was it laser lipo?
How much did you pay?

I’m happy to hear that! Could you please post new photos from the front? Also when you smile is it noticeably slimmer? I’m thinking about getting this done with Elam, but I’m not sure.

I took off my head wrap to run errands today. I guess you can say a lot of the swelling went down but I hope my results re better than what I'm staring at so I'm just hoping to wait a bit more and see results.

I guess it's normal, from what I've read, to be disappointed right? I hope it does get better tho

I ate normal yesterday
My jaw felt a bit locked but was able to eat a small cheeseburger and fries finally!

My next post op visit with dr.elam is Tuesday so we'll see what he says!
Let me know if you have any questions about the recovery I'd be happy to answer

Hello! Wishing you a great recovery! Did you had local or general anesthesia for this procedure?

I had general anesthesia and it was the best decision. I would not ever want to be awake during any procedure
