I had a facelift in my early 40's which was great, but now 24 years on I have been finding myself doing a double take when I look in the mirror as my sagging face doesn't feel like 'me',so reckoned it was time to think about having the procedure again.
My surgeon gave me a lot of confidence, but also made be think realistically about what can be achieved second time around, and at an older age. After careful consideration I decided to give it a go, so had my op 8th Nov.....here's how it's going...
Day6
Feeling LOADS better today. My pain has suddenly dropped, so didn't need painkillers today (or yesterday. Washing my hair has been a big milestone. Since the second day I have been out, walking on the beach with the dog and husband. I am driving now that my neck is less stiff. Having a couple of curious girlfriends over for lunch on Wednesday so that should be fun, I wonder what they will make of it? I get my staples out tomorrow which will be great because right now they feel very tight and uncomfortable. Took a sleeping tablet last night though, as I had hardly slept since my surgery. I never take them normally, but I was just desperate for a good nights sleep. I think maybe that's why I feel better today?
days 9 and 10
Feeling loads better now I can sleep and wash my hair!! I went to a department store beauty counter to get some advice on covering the bruises. The assistant was lovely. I liked the products so much I have decided to ditch all my old make-up and replace it with new Clarins products which I love.
Going to my husband's school reunion tomorrow. My surgeon said he didn't think I would be recovered enough to go, but I think I will be fine....
day 9/10
So nice to be able to sleep, wash my hair and put on some make-up. Plus much more comfortable now my swollen ears have gone down
