I've been advised that chin and jaw work is not necessary, nor will I have face and neck tightening done at this time. Still, I expect to have an uncomfortable week post-surgery. I'm glad that my spouse is coming along to baby me and help me overcome boredom while I'm shut in our apartment for days.
If it's any consolation, you, at least, are now done with FFS, unless some corrective adjustments are needed. I will be doing it again in the fall for the face and neck lift, blepharoplasty, and fat grafts in my cheeks.
I hope you experience some relief soon. In the end it will all be worth it.

Well your lucky then for sure... The chin and jaw has been the worst followed very closely by the lip lift/augmentation
Its hard to tell how the face neck lift plays into all this but Im sure your gonna have it easier than I have
I'll be watching and rooting for you here on the other side!!!
This has been fucking brutal so far and it sucks even worse than I imagined it possibly could
I did manage to get about 5 hours of sleep last night so that's an improvement... I try to sleep sitting up to keep the swelling down and thats tough to do
It always seems worst first thing in the morning and this morning was no exception
Its really starting to bug me, my entire right side of my face has seen the swelling and numbness go down dramatically and thats great
The problem is the entire left side is still VERY swollen
My upper lip looks almost normal on the right side but swollen huge and numb on the left
Same with my jaw very swollen but only on the left side
With the swelling comes pain and numbness so Id be really happy if the left side would get it in gear and get with the program here!!!
From what I can see of my right side Im going to absolutely LOVE the results of this!!!!
I just talked to my docs resident assistant and she said Im doing OK and to just keep doing what Im doing and give it time to heal... Im very happy I was cleared to start taking Ibuprofen, that stuff work wonders for me so Im hoping to see a nice improvement there
I think Im gonna get all bundled up and go far a nice walk around Boston and hopefully get my mind and body in a better place
