New Beginnings - I am so pleased with my decision to complete this journey - New York, NY

Had my facelift just about 48 hours ago, my initial reaction is how comfortable of a recovery it has been. I haven't needed to take anything other than tylenol for pain. Although I am swollen and bruised I am beginning to see the results and I am extremely happy. This is just a part of several surgeries I have planned due to massive weight loss. The overall experience so far has been great and I am so pleased with my decision to complete this journey

So far so good, today is day 5 post surgery I'm still very comfortable and I don't even need tylenol at this point. There was a little more swelling on day 4 as opposed to day 3 , but waking up today I can see things a really settling down. The bruising is really going away and the swelling has gone down somewhat. I'm starting to see the transformation and I'm very happy

today is day 6 post surgery from my facelift and I'm starting to see the bruising really subside. The swelling is lessening as well but probably not as fast as I'd like !! I think it's because
I feel so physically well that I would love to resume normal activities, but appearance wise I'm just not there yet. This is absolutely a visual recovery. There has never been any really physical discomfort for me. I'm going to get my stitches removed tomorrow so hopefully I'll start to look a little more pleasing to the eye LOL !!

What a difference a day makes!! Today is exactly 1 week post surgery from my mid facelift , upper and lower eyelid surgery a chin lipo. I am amazed how much the swelling and bruising has subsided !! Dr. Watts removed my stitches around my eyes and under my chin today so being that I was already in New York to do that I thought I'd spend the day shopping I did and throughout the corse of the day the swelling and bruising really began to disappear , don't get me wrong its still there I still look like Rocky but what an improvement. That being said I do believe I will be going back to work on Monday with minimal swelling and bruising, so that 10 to 14 day window your given for recovery after a facelift is spot on. I'm extremely happy with how this entire procedure has gone from start to finish. One surgery down 3 to go !!

Today is day 16 post surgery. My swelling and bruising has really subsided and I am able to fully appreciate the changes in my appearance and I am elated. True, the midface lift is no picnic to visually recover from and I had moments of thinking my face would forever remain swollen and bruised. At this point I am able to say I would do it all again. I am so pleased with the results and I know it will continue to improve over the next few weeks. Bravo Dr. Watts !!!

I am 9 weeks post op from my facelift, upper and lower eyelid lift and chin lipo. I feel and look great I am so happy with the results and I think its safe to say it is better than I thought !! my swelling is practically gone and I am now able to see the final results. Dr. Watts did an amazing job.
