I did have buyers remorse the first week, because of the swelling, soreness and lack of movement of my head/neck/shoulders etc. The pain wasnt too bad, the worst part was having the drains removed before I went home. I almost passed out in the bed so thank goodness I was IN bed. (dont mean to scare you, it was over with after a few minutes).
I took off work a full two weeks and was not ready to go back before then. Had a lot of emotional head stuff going on during that time that I understand is perfectly normal post operatively. The scars are still red (the ones behind my ears) but the ones in the front of my ears and under my chin are barely noticeable which is nice.
Please let me know if you have any questions that I can answer for you. Good luck with yours and keep us posted!
