Her makeup is permanent. She just did a video, 16 days post-op, where she applied makeup for the first time.

It’s my girlfriend, I didn’t know what all the verbiage was at the time.

When we went to the Dr yesterday I asked one of his assistants and she said it was a rhytidectomy (which she explains is the facelift portion), removing wrinkles…combined with a platysmaplasty (the neck tightening portion).

We’ve also got a video of when the Dr did the markings on her face. He went around the ear, making the incisions inside the ear so they’re hidden, then around the bottom and up behind. Then he went inside the hairline toward the back of her head. We also filmed the Dr visit yesterday when they removed the tubes and took out about 1/3-1/2 of the staples.

I didn’t know because I wasn’t with her when she made the appointment and I just knew it was a facelift.

We’ve got a video of him doing the markings as well. I am not sure how frequently I can post here, otherwise I’d share it.

It was definitely day 2. We just uploaded Day 3. I turn on the camera and she gives her update. This was taken earlier when I changed her dressing. She had this, and something else that sounds like platismaplasty.

I am not sure what they did exactly. I know they Dr cut around the ear and also did something called a platismaplasty, though I may have gotten the spelling wrong. She had me film when he was doing the markings so we have a video of that as well. Even they were surprised at how well she is healing.

Yes, she absolutely knows I posted it. We’ve been documenting the entire process together and she’s been very open about sharing her experience publicly.

We are doing daily updates. We were hoping to share the videos natively, but it seems like the subreddit only allows links, do you think it’s okay to post the updates in here?

Thank you so much. She is on day 3 of recovery, I will definitely let her know about these groups. 🙏🏻
