You are looking great, Ozzys Mom! It really does amaze me how quickly the body heals after the first 2 weeks. It seems like from then on, changes from day to day are a bit more subtle, not nearly as dramatic as those first couple weeks! I am six weeks post-op, and still have quite a bite of residual swelling above my lips, around my nose area, and my lower cheeks.

Welcome home and best wishes as you continue with your recovery!

Wow. What a difference. You look awesome.

I'm happy to hear you had a good experience over in Costa Rica and that everything went well.

I love your new profile. What a dramatic difference - even your nose looks perkier. I'll bet you can wait to see the final results when all of the swelling is gone.

Hi

I also could not wait to hear about your surgery in Costa Rica & see your pics.

Your results are amazing! Your swelling was not even that bad it seem to only last a few days!

You look fantastic!

What a lovely result, you must be so pleased. It's only going to improve too as the swelling continues to go down.
