Hi,
I had my lower face/neck done this past Friday, my neck is only a little bruised but I am swollen. I have worn, my helmet out in public, since I did not have my eyes done, it looks like I had brain surgery. LOL I've heard that it takes a week, I'll post more as time goes on. I have a few pic's on my blog.

About 2 weeks until it wasn't too noticeable (with make up)...3 weeks and it was basically all gone.

Hi,

I just had face/neck lift with lower eyelid and fat transfer to cheeks on 5/11.  I have bruised extensively. I have been going out in public despite the looks.  I am hopeful it will all be a faint yellow by 3 weeks.

Just know that the average means some have less bruising and others have way.... more then expected.  I am hoping makeup will cover most by the time I have to go back to work.  I didn't tell everyone about the facelift.  So now I'll be having to give out explanations, darn it.

The other big item is swelling.  I have lots of swelling as well at one week.  hopefully that decreases significantly by 3 weeks.

Good luck on being average or below!

Hi Kelli, Did any of it hurt? I am scheduled for the same on June 8th.   Gail

Hi Gail,

The pain was nothing compared to the LBL/thigh lift I had in Dec.  The first night hurt, then it sort of subsided.  However, because of the massive swelling I had some bad pain.  Once the swelling was down, no real pain to speak of.  I was off of narcotics by day 5.  I would have been off of them if I hadn't had the massive swelling by day 2 I think.

Good luck with your surgery!

If you all don't mind me asking how did you pay for it and what was the cost I really need it done also.

Hi Dawn, It varys from around 6,000 to 16,000 depending on the area you live in, the doctor you have and also what you are having done. Go for a couple of free consults to some plastic surgeons to get an idea, what it will run you.   Good luck.  Gail
