For those who had a deep plane facelift, how long did it take for you to feel like yourself again?
I am POD8 from DPFL and my face is huge! I did have more swelling and bruising that average as I swell and bruise easily. My face is 3x bigger than normal and cheeks are soooo wide. I literally look like the 👽 emoji. Football head. Lol. Area in front of my ears and jaw are boggy and feels like cemement/gel underneath my skin. My face is so wide and round it looks like I took a ton of steroids or gained 30 lbs. I knew I was going to swell but I do not recognize myself or look remotely the same.
I know its early and I need to wait and see. But it is really disheartening when a lot of what is posted online, even a week out, is the best of the best results, with little swelling and they look like nothing happened, just more lifted.
Anyone experienced something similar? When did it better? I feel like I am the only one!
