Mini Face/neck Lift with Fat Transfer to Temples..... - Saint Louis, MO

I am going to post a bunch of pictures that are updated to today - I am really pleased with the procedure. My face has almost fully peeled from the Obagi Blue Peel. I am still swollen on the sides of my face and it feels numb - it gets better every day. My incisions are hidden by my hair and are healing really well - no problems at all. My neck is still tender from the liposuction but I think it looks so much better. I saw the doctor yesterday and he said the swelling will continue to fade and at about six weeks I will really see the results. The biggest thing was that he said I could sleep on my side!! I have really struggled sleeping on my back - even with a wedge pillow - I slept on the couch for a majority of the past three weeks to help support my head and back. I was able to go last weekend with my girlfriends on the train to Chicago - they helped me lift my bag on the train and into the taxis. The doctor says now that I have no restrictions - YAY!! I'll post again in a week or so.

Hi I am posting a few pictures from yesterday - I had to do a collage as I can't seem to get the pictures to rotate correctly - I look pretty much the same today - swelling is up - the doctor said that today would be the worst - I had an Obagi blue peel and that is making my skin dark and it will begin to peel. I am still using the oxycodone as my right side is still really hurting - the left is good. I hope that it continues to improve so I can switch over to tylenol. I go on Tuesday to get my stitches out. I am wearing a compression garment on my head to help with the swelling. I take it off just to ice and take a shower. Thanks for your kind words.

Checking in at 9:00 for surgery at 10:00. I'll post after and let you know how it goes.
