2 1/2 months: Pain and numbness mostly gone

Really it's been within the last 2 weeks that the last of the pain and numbness ended. Finally.There's still a tiny spot right under my chin that still feels funny. Now comes the decision whether to go for the second treatment (and two more months of feeling like a freak) or just going for a lower facelift. I see the photos of the people who've had the Biltmore Lift and am so envious.

I still have some limited pain right under my chin but almost gone. I don't think anyone will see any difference in the before and after photos. But shooting photos from this angle I did notice some sun spots I hadn't noticed before....

People have asked for photos. As embarrassing as they are to me, I want to share so you can evaluate whether you think this procedure will work for you--or if you want to look like this for a month.

I love my derm doc in general. But I'm disappointed in this procedure thus far, and the conflicting information I received on phone when scheduling appt, from her nurse at her office and then from doctor. In all fairness my doctor did tell me in advance that I might need a series of 3-4 and might need other procedures to tighten skin (albeit only minutes before the procedure). I should have thought this through better but believe my own wishful thinking and the fact I was already in the chair sort of took over. However, I do think my doctor could have presented a more thorough explanation of the duration of swelling, pain and prospects for success. Maybe with more time I will feel differently--fingers crossed.
