Wed surgery for neck, mini facelift (cheeks) and upper eyes

Well, I think I am ready. Only a couple of things on my to do list. Thanks for the tips - I have been taking arnica Montana, have tuck pads chilling in the fridge, tampons for behind the ears, straws, the recliner and pillows are ready, button up tops, soft headbands. Now all I have to do is breathe!

Will I be able to wear my glasses? Hoping recovery is fast so that I can go out of the house before my next surgery on 8/29 for bl/ba and arms. Funny to hear me saying this, but I am going to miss exercising!

Thank you all for your tips and support! Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers! I plan to ask hubby to take photos!

 For my facelift my surgeon had me use frozen peas on my face for the first few days.  I didn't have any problem with my glasses but I only wear them to read.  Good luck

Thanks! Good idea! I have corn! How was your recovery? Did you feel and look like you were refreshed and younger looking again- like back in the full face era?

 Corn should do it.  My recovery wasn't too bad.  I had close to what your having - under my eyes, neck, and full face - so everything up to my eyes.  I was 60 when I had the surgery and was happy with the results except because as you age you lose the fat in your face I didn't have that fullness so 6 months after the surgery  I had a facial fat transfer and now I'm very happy.  I will agree with someone who said there ears were really sore.  But just remember when your going through the discomfort it will all be worth it.  I took two weeks off.  I just remembered be careful and try not to yawn too wide - I did and popped a stitch and had a huge bruise on my cheeck.  Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Good advice! Hadn't thought about that! I am 56 and lost all fullness with the weight lOSS. Don't have much body fat left either at 124 lbs. Heading off now. So nice to read your post before heading out! Needed the positive encourage!

 Best wishes for a speedy recovery!
