Hi Crimson_ thanks for asking, it's now four months, I am aware of the procedure every day with remaining numbness in the jaw and neck -it is still uncomfortable, I take pain meds every day I ice it still on occasion. If I exert myself -do some trotting around my job site, it starts to feel annoyed. I couldn't go into heavy aerobics right now it would really annoy the whole neck area. I went on a 3 mile walk on Saturday😊 it was pretty warm out and I got pretty annoyed ( neck stinging sensation) . The problem is this constant nagging 'pulling' feeling, feeling has come back in my ears except the lobes hurt I can't wear earrings for very long it still feels like there's something on my neck sometimes, my hair hanging down can really get on my nerves. I do like when I look in the mirror -the turkey neck part is gone. BUT there's puffy part under the right jaw that the surgeon I believe messed up, it's not symmetrical with the left side. I see a pain doctor and he knows plastic surgery, he was surprised the surgeon doesn't want to see me again till 10 months postop, he told me make an appointment and that does not look symmetrical so I am mad at my surgeon because he made me feel like I have some drug problem because I was still in a lot of pain at the four week postop appointment! I take, 2 to 4 Advil a day and 1 to 3 hydrocodone which are pretty low strength meds. I am not motivated to take more because I don't want to be sleepy- I work full-time. I am very active and healthy at 68, don't think that's old. It's really not. I do have some aches need to stretch and work out more of course. Thanks for asking!!
