Sept 12 (procedure May 18)
It is REALLY important not to fixate. I still have an area of slight fullness on my left side. The doc said that my nodule was just larger on that side and it probably would always appear a little fuller.
Having said that the swelling is getting better every week. I was at a board meeting the other day and a good friend of mine was sitting next to me the entire day. At the end of the day she said, "I hate looking at you, you look so good. I feel like the sea hag". (She is gorgeous and DOES NOT look like a seahag, but she wants a facelift but her husband is adamently against it.)
I was so surprised because I'd been so fixated on this swelling. But, honestly people don't see what we see. Whatever you do DO NOT go from fixating on your neck to fixating on something else! Just enjoy!!!

Four months out
Well, this has certainly been a bit of an emotional roller coaster (not like Space Mountain roller coaster, more like local carnival roller coaster).
I would rate my satisfaction with the results four months out at 95%. I went back to the doctor for my before and after pictures (which are about the ugliest pictures of my profile possible, but it DOES show the end result beautifully).
My 5% concern is the slight unevenness under my chin. The doctor explained that I have a larger nodule on my left side that is just part of me. I asked if it was fixable but he said my results were so good that trying to fix this small issue would not be worth it.
Now, having said that, the unsolicited comments I am getting from casual acquaintances is, 'I have never ever seen a better cosmetic result'. My friends also literally tell me I'm crazy and they don't see what I see.
So, I guess the lesson here is that we are our own worst critics and cosmetic surgery isn't a cure-all for aging.
But, would I do it again? YES.

One month out
I still have a specific area of swelling that I was getting concerned about...until I compared these two pictures. Everyone is right...patience is needed! I am thrilled with my results and am confident that within the next month my swelling will be drastically reduced. Patience!
