BITTER- SWEET
Have been meaning to update for sooooo long, but there is always something to do
Ok so the overall recovery was fine, interesting thing to mention, was insane tiredness and headaches that started couple of weeks after surgery and lasted for about a month every day , but still little price to pay for fixing my face:)
I really enjoyed my face 3-6 months after surgery , although doctor thought that is still surgical look
So from about 6 months on the deep lines on my face started coming back .Nasolabial lines and marionette lines were my biggest hate along with the giggly neck
I am happy with the work doctor did on my neck and overall it is indeed big improvement , although I do feel bit UNDERDONE , mostly on the checks , that ‘collapse’ forward when I lean down and the lines are quite prominent specially in darker lights.
I did get some fat transfer in a room few months after( that somehow was missed during surgery , so more pain and time off work) , but it did little,
I don’t think it needs adding things , just PULL things up! Unfortunately doctor doesn’t want to know.
I spent hours in front of mirror pulling my face up , just like I did before surgery, and it’s a very bitter –sweet feeling , ok, it is better , I didn’t have any major issues , but just not as nice as I was expecting !
I would love to hear from ladies in similar situation , did you have it redone? With the same doctor or different?
Quite concern about $$ , 30K was my life savings , so can’t really do another one strait away:(
I always knew I would have another one after 10 years or so , and I think you can have 3 in a lifetime , so don’t want to use that all up in one go
Another little issue that came up ,I did also get hypertrophic scars and possibly keloids , had 4 steroids injection ,(that hurt so bad and had other side effects on the body) ,that soften them a bit , but didn’t completely go away:( luckily they are behind my ears and under hair(although you can still feel them in intimate situations so no pretending you didn't have work done:p), front scars healed very well
So perhaps future surgery can fix them too…..

Day 12
Wow, days are just rolling into each other now.
Today was removal of the remaining stitches and staples. I have to say I was quite fricked out about it, but it genuinely did not hurt a bit. Special Thank you to Cherieve, she is an Angel!!!
I also drove myself, first time since the surgery, was fantastic to have my independence back, but maybe lil unsafe too, still not great on changing lanes or comfortable parking , due to not being able to turn my neck fully.
Everything is healing well, only my lips are still really puffy, look a bit like russian mail order bride lol (no offense please)
My energy levels are up bit by bit , but did not get go ahead to go back to work this week......would be useful if I had a husband hehe, but since I have to do everything myself....well , what you dont do today, do it double tomorrow ;)
My hair is long enough to cover my ears, so even thought I still look "surgical" (doctors words hehe) I am comfortable without any head covering
One thing though , sunglasses hurt!!!!, how does everyone else wear them? I tried putting them on just for driving , coz it was sunny, but no way
Next appointment in two weeks, should be just a check up now, really hope all my bits will stay nice and tight, good luck to everyone else on the journey

Famous day 5
So everyone talks about the little crush....I thought i was doing so well, wasn't going to happen...oh well day 5 blues
Had eye stitches out,that was fine.....and drains out....that was capital F...screaming, left me in pain for the rest of the day and half a night
On the brighter side, there is lil more movement every day,brushed at least 4 more teeth today :-)
There is little cris on one eyelids, hope this will straighten
Day 7, had more stitches out,and no more day naps,although trying to rest head dowas much as possible
