i just now found your review and have read the entirety - it's good to hear from a true veteran. :) I enjoyed and appreciated your detailed account of your sedated surgery. That gives me an idea of what went on during my revision since I cant remember a thing! It also seems to make a good case for undergoing the local instead of general anesthesia. The fact that the dr can get a more natural view of his work without the tube in the mouth and better control of the muscle responses. I know i had a lot of procedures done a year ago with my original FL, but wonder if I could have done the same with the sedation. Anyway, that is something for others to consider. Your before and after photos are quite impressive, and I hope you are settling in with your results. Your bruising looks much like mine, but I really have to say, I think I won the prize for the worst bruising. Thanks for sharing your story and your photos. BTW - you were considering hair color - what about a sassy little short cut? I have had mine long and short and tend to always go back to short, I think it makes everyone look younger as a rule. Also thanks for the caution about the chest lasering.

I am tall 5''7" with large long face and masculine features - cutting my curly frizzy hair makes it even more unmanageable and takes much longer to get ready in morning - I can just shampoo and comb out the door or pull it up when longer. Also I have been told over the years my features do not do well with short hair - but thanks for the suggestion - I appreciate your comments.

As far as twilight sedation versus general - it is much easier for body to recover - doctor can monitor your vitals and ask you to move for him - and somehow the pain is masked or you get amnesia. Also I am natural redhead coloring - so need extra pain and sedation - which worried me - but having 4 procedures under twilight ( including rhinoplasty) I can heartily support going that route if your doctor has this certification/training. Good luck

OK I get that - you know your hair best. I will agree much easier to get ready with long hair - can always pull it up in a little wispy knot to show off that pretty new face :)

I went back to your original pictures several times. The work you had done makes you look so much younger. You went through a lot, and did so with courage and hope. I'm so glad it turned out so well for you! You have a new lease on life... Now go get em!

hard to believe no pain - just burning from my allergy to bacitracin and aquaphor - as soon as I started using benadryl and cortisone cream the burning stopped! Again curse of the fair Irish skin...

Not sure about hair color...

should I continue the weave highlights or go back to darker auburn - always thought older women were aged by darker hair - but sometimes the highlights wash me out. I am really fair and right after surgery the nurse kept saying "Boy are you white!" - yeah the curse of the Irish - either white and pasty or red and inflamed :-( (But the doctor kept saying yes she has such good blood supply and thick skin :-O

I'd go with some slight high lighting - three varying shades to brighten things up a bit.

Actuallly I am a auburn dirty brn combo - but I have to be careful not to look like Bozo the Clown cause my hair is sooo curly/frizzy and looks like a flip. But thanks for the suggestion - I think I will try some red and blonde highlights. :-)
