@shanon.sarah: I think some people are comparing my current temporal lift healing to deep plane lower face/neck lift healing — but they’re completely different procedures involving different tissue planes, tension, swelling patterns and recovery timelines. This was me 4 days after my lower face/neck lift + upper bleph 2 years ago. My current procedure is a revision temporal lift, which affects the upper face and eye area very differently. Healing isn’t linear, and early stages can look dramatic before swelling settles and tissues soften. I share this because transparency matters, especially for women researching these procedures. #postophealing #patienteducation #realisticexpectations
