Day 3
Today is day 3 and I feel good. My neck isn't bruised like I had thought, the only very small blue bruise was from a needle. I am still just a little swollen. Yesterday was Thanksgiving and I didn't wear my strap all day or night. Not one person in my house noticed my slight swollen neck.
I'm back to wearing my strap all day and will continue to wear it at night for 6 months.

Today is day 2 of my neck liposuction procedure. I didn't write my Day 1 review yesterday (Tuesday) because I was still nervous about how my neck looked after the procedure. I was nervous because it was still very full of fluid which was quite frightening to me.
The day of the procedure:
I was extremely nervous because I had never had any type of cosmetic surgery done ever! The assistant was very nice and calmed me prior to the procedure all the way to the end. The assistant held my hand and the doctor told me what was occurring every step of the way .
Basically I changed into the garment and was placed on the chair and injected with the numbing medication and fluid (to fill me up so the doctor can perform his procedure). I guess there were probably 5 injections and the doctor said the worst part was over. I had to sit for about 15 minutes to let the numbing medication do it's thing. This was the moment I was saying to myself that I really can't believe I'm finally doing this procedure and was the opportunity to run or stay. I chose to stay.
After 15 minutes the doctor came back in with his assistant and performed the fat burning (you can smell the fat burning) and then proceeded with the actual fat liposuction.
I am swollen just a little bit and have a very mild blue bruise. I didn't take any medication for this procedure and drove myself home. I am taking 3 x a day 5 Arni care Pills by placing them under my tongue in addition to rubbing my neck area with Arni care gel you can purchase at any drug store. The doctor did prescribe me Levaquin, an antibiotic to take for the next 5 days.
My day 2 photo is attached. The only item I'm concerned about is bounce back of my elasticity.

Dr. Nathan is the reason why I continued with this neck liposuction because I had visited him 3 x prior to my procedure. Every time I visited him he made me feel more confident about having the procedure. Most importantly, Dr. Nathan didn't over extend his expectations and I felt all his discussions were completely honest with me. I honestly don't believe I would have proceeded with this procedure had it not been for his true integrity and honesty.
