WOW 4 weeks ago today I was in surgery. What an experience!
I've gone from being bruised and swollen beyond believe to starting to see my old self again just a much younger looking version of her.
I love the way the eyes looked from the start (I had upper and lower bleph done).
I wasn't sure how the face would loo****il about 5 days ago when the swelling had pretty much gone. I think there is still a little bit on the left side.
I still have a teeny tiny little red spot in my left eye but so far as I'm concerned the eye is back to normal.
The bruising on the face is gone except for the little spot on each cheek near the jawline.
It's still swollen and bruised under the *****urve of the neck....and it's tender there too!
Behind the ears I have some lumpy/bumpy incision areas which I'll discuss with the surgeon when I see him on Friday. I'm not worried...he'll fix it when I have revisions and it is well hidden for now in by my hair.
As always I think my surgeon did a fantastic job. I'm not saying I'm gorgeous or anything but given what he had to work with I think he did a good job.
It took longer than I thought for the bruising and swelling to get to a point I even cover it with makeup. I wear a turtleneck to cover the chin/neck area whenever I go out in public but no-longer have to pack on lots of foundation.
I'm happy, I'm very happy with the results and I know things will continue to heal/improve over the next couple of months.
I've posted new pics on my profile for friends to see. FYI - one of the new pics is a collage of the "ugly" part of having face/eye work...some are not so pretty others are almost humorous.
Hope you are all well......best wishes to those who are healing.
Thanks again for supporting me in my journey.
Special thanks to Renee, Susan, Jodi, DW45, for sharing their experiences with me and all their support pre and post op. I really appreciate you guys!

Well, since you aren't saying you are gorgeous, then I will! You are so pretty Ruth. You look fantastic. I love your results and can only hope I'll have as good of results as you have. You have helped me so much so I'm only happy to return the favor. I'm sure I'll be asking you lots of questions next month. We'll be recovering at the same time. We'll have to chat and compare notes!
