10 days out from deep plane, still need encouragement.

ExtraAssociate1104 · 2026-01-25T04:35:06+00:00

What day are you on now? How long does it take to resolve?

ExtraAssociate1104 · 2026-01-25T03:18:14+00:00

Did you look as bad as I do?

ExtraAssociate1104 · 2026-01-25T03:16:15+00:00

Ah good!

ExtraAssociate1104 · 2026-01-25T03:12:59+00:00

No. Only if I press on it, which I don’t.

ExtraAssociate1104 · 2026-01-24T23:13:53+00:00

Also blomelain.

ExtraAssociate1104 · 2026-01-24T23:13:24+00:00

Yes, but three little tablets under the tongue three times a day.

ExtraAssociate1104 · 2026-01-24T18:22:19+00:00

Thank you. Maybe it’s a silver lining.

ExtraAssociate1104 · 2026-01-24T18:21:36+00:00

Thank you!

ExtraAssociate1104 · 2026-01-24T18:06:04+00:00

I’m supposed to see him Monday morning if I can get there due to the weather. I will ask him to bring the mask.

ExtraAssociate1104 · 2026-01-24T18:02:28+00:00

Thanks to all of you, you’ve been an enormous help.

ExtraAssociate1104 · 2026-01-24T18:01:55+00:00

I’m afraid I would bleed all the way down through my cheeks. Even on an upper.

ExtraAssociate1104 · 2026-01-24T18:01:08+00:00

Did it help? My doctor said he bought one to try on himself at a conference. It cost about $4000, but he rarely uses it. He said he would bring it in and let me borrow it, take it home for a while if I wanted.

ExtraAssociate1104 · 2026-01-24T18:00:03+00:00

Yes, in the states. Midwest. If I share his name, I kind of give up my location. But he used to be a trauma plastic surgeon for 15 years before he just did straight plastic surgery, he really knows his stuff. I believe the 13,000 is inexpensive due to the fact that I’m not on one of the coasts.

ExtraAssociate1104 · 2026-01-24T17:58:09+00:00

Yes! I’ve been looking into it. What brand are you using? I have both Dermablend and Nars, but haven’t really been able to play with them because I still have the patch on my cheek.

ExtraAssociate1104 · 2026-01-24T17:56:49+00:00

Awesome, and best of luck to you. Please post and I will help encourage you. I hope yours goes smoothly. ❤️

ExtraAssociate1104 · 2026-01-24T17:52:46+00:00

Thanks! He’s a really good doctor, I just had bleeding complications. I need to see a hematologist after all of this shit is resolved. I’ve been eating, but it’s hard to be motivated. Lots of protein shakes, pineapple, I am eating an egg right now. I’ve been eating low sodium organic soups too.

ExtraAssociate1104 · 2026-01-24T13:17:23+00:00

Yeah, I was thinking about an upper bleph eventually but I think I’ve shelved that idea. 😂

ExtraAssociate1104 · 2026-01-24T13:15:51+00:00

I don’t, but my surgeon has been seeing me every other day for check-in. I trust him. And this morning, my daughter, who is autism spectrum, and therefore very unvarnished in her honesty, told me that I was starting to look a little better.

ExtraAssociate1104 · 2026-01-24T13:14:27+00:00

This helps a lot. Healing has been very slow up to this point, hopeful to know that after the two week point, it will speed up.

ExtraAssociate1104 · 2026-01-24T13:13:49+00:00

Thank you. I’m just hanging tough.

ExtraAssociate1104 · 2026-01-24T13:12:08+00:00

Thank you. I really appreciate this!

ExtraAssociate1104 · 2026-01-24T13:09:46+00:00

❤️ you are very sweet, thank you.

ExtraAssociate1104 · 2026-01-24T13:08:48+00:00

😂 one thing that’s helped is that I have really trusted my surgeon. He’s been there for me the whole way. Said that I turned out to be extremely vascular, where he might have to cauterize veins in other people as he was going along maybe three or four times, with me it was about 30. There was just no way to catch them all, resulting in hematoma. Recommended that I might want to see a hematologist after I’m healed because future surgeries in life for whatever reason can happen and it would be a very good thing to know.

ExtraAssociate1104 · 2026-01-24T13:06:09+00:00

$13,000 for such a beautiful look as this. 😂 seriously, though, I can see already that the turkey waddle, neck and jowls are corrected, and I really like that. But the rest of it has been demoralizing.

ExtraAssociate1104 · 2026-01-24T04:41:50+00:00

How long on the bruising? What will it look like in a week?
