This brings back memories of being where you are. My face was still very swollen but I didn't realize it at the time. You will be amazed on how different you look a year from now.

Off topic: I spy what appears to be an old ISA slot computer hardware on the wall. Perhaps a processor from a server?

Aha, it's a retired r9 280 without the heatsink. My brother fried it about 6 months ago and I don't have the heart to recycle such a beautiful piece of silicon.

Dumb question, but what's the big line coming up the side of your face from under your chin? Is it just an imprint from bandages/tape coming off or?

Awesome ty! Is that the scar from tracheal shave just underneath it on the third photo? It seems very faint already in that pic. How visible is it would you say?

Honestly not sure! Not very though, it's tucked into the natural part where my neck meets my head

I've been going on long walks. Pain is minimal, but still taking 1 or two pills a day for pain. I highly suggest you get him to prescribe a take home prescription of tramadol.

Lifting things is fine... I work at a gym. Bending over just feels very.... Full? It's like a bad headache. I don't need too much rest and I'm going about my normal duties and life without problems.

I had hairline, t3 forehead, brow lift, nose, cheek fat infiltration, chin shave, jaw shave, and trachea shave. The most painful part is chin and jaw the whole time, nothing else has bothered me.

thanks so much for the response! is tramadol pretty strong? i have hydrocodone prescription left over and getting mixed reviews about trying to bring it on the fought to mexico… so if anything i’ll have it to come back to haha im not familiar with the strength of tramadol… you look fabulous and sound like ur doing fabulous for just ten days post so thats encouraging!

im doing just chin, no trace shave rn, but a lip lift so not sure how much thatll change things for me but its good to know u work at a gym and have done it!!

It's about as strong as codeine. Hydros are very strong. 30mg hydro = 120 mg tramadol.

They will also prescribe buprenorphine if you are in too much pain. I have never been so high in my entire life, it felt incredible to not have the pain anymore.

What? Which one?

The only thing like ibuprofen (NSAID) was Stadium and Meloxicam.

The rest was Tylenol and opioids.

Lots of people don’t get on well with tramadol. Might want to try it before you rely in it. It is pretty strong though.
