Day 2. Dr. Harley was awesome and so is his staff....
WORTH IT$6,400
Day 2. Dr. Harley was awesome and so is his staff. I've never felt more at ease in a plastic surgeons office before until yesterday until it was time for Dr. H to walk me into his surgical room. From then on out it was a pretty easy ride. I returned home this morning after seeing him for my follow up visit and everything looks great. To be honest the only negatives is having to sleep upright with that horrible contraption of a wrap, its pretty tight, but its taken off the next morning, what a relief. And also the swelling and tightness. But all will be better after icing the next several days. So glad I found this site and Dr. Harley and especially another woman who had it done, she gave me great advice and made me feel good about proceeding to have it done.

My BL Journey
Things are good so far. Go back this friday to Asheville to get my stitches out. Its day 5 and I took a shower finally. No pain at all, the biggest thing is the swelling and numbness on my earlobes and behind my ear lower neck. Sleeping is a pain, very hard to sleep almost upright, so during the day I'm catching up since night time isn't happening. My husband is amazed how awesome it looks right now, but hoping its awesome even more when the swelling eases up. If anyone needs some questions answered, feel free to email me.

Please don't feel badly if you don't get a lot of comments. Real Self has changed their format and none of us can find our feeds.
I do have a question. Do you have incisions behind your ears?
Thanks and please keep posting. I'm sure the others will find you eventually.

well thank you. I'm doing pretty good. I think I was in the office getting ready for my BL last friday when I saw you come into the office for bandage removal. Was that you. Your pics are amazing, I know you have to be pleased with the result.

Thanks for answering my question. I actually think you looked great in the Before photos. Now you look great -er. LOL Your lower face, jaw and neck are very tight and smooth now. I look forward to hearing how the stitch removal goes. Happy healing!

You looked good in your "before" pics... but fabulous in your "after" pics. :) Just shows what some refining does to make one look more youthful and refreshed! Thanks for sharing and looking forward to seeing how things go for you.

Aww, thanks so much. I didn't go in with very high expectations, I just wanted a refreshed look, but right now I can't believe what a wonderful job he did. I know it'll relax more but I'm very happy with the results. I'm still swelling and still numb, but that will take sometime to go away. I'm going today to see Dr. H to get my stitches out and hopefully he says I'm doing well.

Hi K - just wondering how your recovery is going. I'd love to see some updated pics if you have time. Hope all is well and that you're feeling fab! :)

Recovery is going well, I think its going to be awhile before I feel fab but I'll get there. 17 days post. No bruising to speak of except for a small area on my neck which is gone. The areas behind my ears, chin and in front of ears, where the stitches were are all looking really good and healing nicely, am still using the tape and will continue for the next 6 weeks. Swelling has gone down some but still there, mostly around the ears. Numbness and hardness in front of ears is still there but not as bad as day 2. I still also have numbness in the jaw area too. Tightness has become better also. Its just going to take time, but other than that I'm happy with the results and glad I did it. I will try to post some pics. When I get them downloaded to my Mac.
