Eight months later...
Meanwhile, I got access to my official before and after pictures (the ones my surgeon took and uploaded) on the TouchMD site. There are before pictures, and after pictures taken at five months. These pics are no frills, no makeup, no smiling, and I swear, I haven't retouched anything. Also, I just took an after picture of my neck; if you look at my older pictures, you'll see one where I had ugly red streaks and ligature marks. Gone!! :-D
I am still numb all around my ears, but who cares? I feel so much better about my face and have zero regrets about my cosmetic surgery experience.
One more picture!
Four months, and the "debut"
But the rest? No complaints! This past weekend, my boyfriend and I went to a big party with about 100 of our friends. I was a bit nervous about it, as this was the first time I was really showing off my "new face." I had made no secret of the fact that I'd had surgery. Oh my, the compliments. People were so supportive and sweet, and so effusive!
I've posted a shot of my bf and me -- sorry I had to block him out, but I thought it was a good representation of my face as it is now. When he saw it, he said, "You look like my daughter!" EW! I told him I most certainly do not. :-)
Seeing my doc next week and he will be taking his own after pictures. This healing process wasn't easy, but I don't regret any of it. Those of you still dealing with the hard parts, take heart. It gets better!
Provider Review
My doctor and his staff gave me a good feeling from the first moment I entered the office. He has over 25 years of experience, all kinds of certifications, and a very calm, patient demeanor. He has been very kind to me, putting up with all my insecurities and fears about my slightly lopsided smile, my frozen eyebrow, my hair that fell out alarmingly the first couple of weeks (it has since stabilized and I'm taking tons of biotin to speed up regrowth). When I made a middle of the night emergency call for a bleed one week in, he was there, reassuring me and telling me what to do. (It was minor, just scary.) His nurse and office manager are friendly and kind and took care of so many details for me.
