What's on your Saturday menu?

this is my third one - yikes. I think tummy tucks are the worst - esp if they do lipo and/or muscle tightening (which my surgeon's nurse said is actually fascia tightening. But I had both lipo and the muscle/fascia tightening). That surgery was super painful. The last two surgeries (arm/breast lift and this face/neck lift) are really more discomfort than pain. But still...ugh. I'm sure I'll feel better when the drains are out - and even better by next Friday when I go in for my first follow up with the surgeon. My last two surgeries did get better day by day. The first two or three days are the worst.

I had muscle tightening and lipo and could not stand up straight for the first week. I had the drains for three weeks. After it was all over with, I was so happy with the results. I am excited to see the results of your facelift, once the swelling if over and you are feeling good again.

I've been really happy with results of my first two surgeries - and I'm sure I will be of this one as well. It's just getting through the first few weeks... I couldn't stand up straight for the first week after my lower body lift, either. That was a really painful surgery. The arm/breast lift wasn't nearly as bad - and so far, this face/neck one isn't either. But it's still really uncomfortable. I'm feeling a little better now than I did when I wrote my first post - but then I've been using an ice pack and I've taken the prednisone, so the swelling may be down a bit. I think it's mostly the swelling that's causing the discomfort.
