5 Days Post-Op Face and Neck Lift

Nov 20, 2007

It has been 5 days since I have had my neck and face lift. WOW!!!!!!  I can say I had mixed feelings after the surgery.  My first thought was, "I will never do this again".  Then the next day things where a little better but not much.  I am not going to lie, it hurt.  My ears are what hurt the most.  They cut in front of and behind and pulled and stretched and you name it.  I did bleed more than normal, but men tend to bleed more than women on this type of surgery.  The surgery took 5 hours instead of 4 hours. I had to leave the drain in for 4 days instead of one.  Dr. Griffin was great and made sure that I had enough pain meds to keep my comfortable.  His entire staff is the greatest.  I highly recommend him and his staff.  They are so caring and concern with every step on this journey.  He will always be my plastic surgeon, no doubts about it.  And yes.....I WOULD DO IT AGAIN!!

Plastic Surgery #2

Nov 07, 2007

One week from tomorrow (Thursday 8th) I will be going in for plastic surgery number two.  I will be having a face lift and a neck lift.  They started me on some pills on Monday, that will help with the swelling and bruising.  I am really excited to see how this is going to turn out.  They say there is pain that comes with it, but it can't be any worse than what I have already experinced with the other.  I will keep this updated after everything goes through.  Of course I will post pictures as well.
