Thanks for the support guys. Sometimes it's 2 vicodans, The only good thing about the experience so far but I'm sure it will get better. My mom said she's noticed a difference already but I just see a balloon face. Tomorrow evening the bandages come off and I would think I should notice some difference. We'll see, just another experience. Somehow I wish I had picked jumping from a plane :rofl: .

Have to come out of lurkdom to wish you well and tell you how much I admire you for sharing with us. I believe you said you would have the liftstyle lift. Did this involve threads?

Cork you amaze me! Speedy recovery girl.

 

[Paula]

Yup, Cork is definitely amazing! Do I think you should show the close-up photo of after the surgery? I saw the photo and it looks like a close-up of the one you already posted here, so my vote is not to post it and leave it up to our imaginations. Your descriptions are great. I can't wait to see you in person and hear the whole story. And I hope you start feeling normal again very soon -- definitely by the time I get there later this month. We'll have a toast!

Cork, I hope you are feeling better! Get well soon!!!

 

[Jdarg]

Looks like you have some caring little nurses there!

 

[MKH]

Cork,


Hang in there! I admire you for being so brave and doing this. You will have to have a party later to celebrate getting this done and over with! I know it must suck now, but you're getting better every day!

Oh my gosh Cork, I hope you heal quickly

Recovery is going slower than I had expected. I was thinking that I'd be looking pretty good by the weekend but I'm afraid that I still look like a truck has run over me . Don't know how long this is going to take so kind of bummed but have been told it's normal during this period - when you've spent a fortune, look worse than ever and feel like crap.

This wasn't the string procedure. Decided against that because had heard that you can sometimes see the string lines in the cheeks . This was a cut along the ears and muscle pulled from the ears. They can use local because they don't pull up the whole face and tighten all of the muscles. Also had lipo under the neck and jowls. Eyes are the same as a regular lid lift and under eye. Basically this was much like a regular lift just from the perimeter and only the bottom part of the face, not the forehead so they could do it with local anesthesia and the scarring is significantly less. The recovery apparently isn't. The string thing, you can go back to work in 2 days but after doing the research, I really didn't want the foreign strings under the skin, especially if you might see them.

Thanks for your support guys and will send the photos to those that have emailed. Just kinda in and out so bear with me. Love you guys
