56 Year Old Breast Cancer Survivor! I Need my Face to Match my Happy! - Omaha, NE

I am 2 months out from a FL and BL. As you can see, I still have some darkness under my eyes and some puffiness but I had some extreme bruises. Makeup can mostly cover this up. It's so interesting. I have only had one person say a word to me about any change and she was a friend I hadn't seen in a year. She said "your skin looks so....flawless! What did you do?" LOL! Not flawless by a stretch but absolutely better than it was. I would do it again. It does take time for your face to heal and then a little more time and patience.

I am now almost 5 weeks post of of fl and bl. My under-eyes and eye-lids are still swollen and slightly bruised but as of today, makeup truly can cover it up. I notice some swelling under my chin and the places in my hair that they made incisions have some hair loss. It surely is a process and anyone who decides to do this needs to be prepared to let yourself ride this out. It is no quick little weekend deal. But I am very thankful I did it. I am wondering why the PS didn't do a bleph on my upper lids as they seem to need it (my lids seem to be sitting on my lashes but I am also still a bit swollen) Mostly, I am pleased. Nobody has said "you look way different". I have been wearing glasses in public because my under eye bruises have lasted a long time BUT if you look at me a few days post op, you can see that they were no little bruises!!!!! I keep looking at my face and thinking..."I really wish this was different and this and that could be better...." haha. Has anyone ever had a lip lift? What is that like?
