Go easy-- unretouched, no makeup, three weeks post op and am due for a shot in my forehead, but at the moment, this is the progress I have made in the journey to stop looking unhealthy! Things are finally getting better-- not going for pretty, just unwilling to look ill!

Looking good Shari!!!

I know what you mean about not wanting to look sick. I look horrible, even with makeup. I've never looked so sickly and gaunt and dark around the eyes. Oh well. I guess I can handle being a creepy looking thin woman instead of an almost pretty fat woman. LOL

AMEN!

The face fills out though, post-op. I can't remember around what mark it comes back ( I think 2 yrs post-op? Don't quote me though) but it will fill back in a bit, eventually... I tell myself that constantly.

Dollface-- I dunno how to break it to you but that just ain't necessarily so. I am 3 years post op and it just kept on sinkin'! I think maybe in people *****gain a bit it plumps back out, or shifts maybe---- but for me it was like I had a sinkhole in my face! ;)
