Chrys,
Facial work has not been something I've ever thought about. But I'm sure in one of my post-op apptmts I'll have to ask "what could you do?" and "How much would it cost?"
Well, I always said, from the time I was around 20 that I would do it some day. Then the years flew by and I had a friend who worked for a really good clinic so I went to a couple of seminars.
They have this computer program where they take your picture and then show you what various procedures will do on your face.
It was amazing. I just couldn't resist, and they gave me a huge military discount. My surgeon was really good. He said that I healed faster than any patient he had ever had. I had no noticable pain of any kind and didn't even need to take the prescription meds they gave me.
I had some swelling for about the first week, but no bruising. I was out and about 8 days after the surgery. The only thing I noticed was that it took nearly 2-years before the numbness on some parts of my face went away. But I understand that is also normal.
I highly recommend it. I already have my $$ set aside for a redo in about 5 -6 more years!
