Yesterday I went to an appointment with my PS. He  finally took that horrible wrap off my head.... oh my gosh, my hair looked so nasty- greasy hair filled with dried blood... gross!  He gave me the go ahead to shower! and it was AMAZING!!! BUT, I still cannot "wash" my hair- I can rinse it out, but I need to be very careful not to disrupt the skin on the top of my head and "knock it off" the tiny embedded hooks that are holding up my forehead.  At first I was afraid that my eyebrows had not been lifted at all-  but now that the swelling has gone down- and is still going down, it will probably take a couple weeks to be swell-free in my face- I can see they HAVE been raised and it looks very natural and nice. My Dr. told me he raised my forehead skin about 1/2 inch! WOW! And now forehead is wrinkle free- I look so much nicer!  My husband has even commented on how much younger I look!



 
My forehead is SMOOTH and wrinkle free. My eyebrows have been lifted and my eyes lids are no longer weighing down on my eyes. There is still swelling my my eye area, and I think it will continue to look better and better.

 Now I think I just look "refreshed" and a bit younger. I am very happy with the outcome. 

As for my tummy tuck- my belly is NON-EXISTENT! I have such a tiny waist! It is crazy! Of course there is still swelling- but I can see the final outcome will be amazing. My belly rolls are GONE!  And since he tightened the muscles, he pulled everything in towards the middle- I finally have a little waist. I measured myself last night, and even with all the swelling I have lost a good 2 inches in my waist already- crazy!

Yesterday was my first day home alone with all the kids- it went pretty well. My son is helping me a lot with the baby- carrying her around for me and lifting her. Of course it is MUCH nicer with my husband home during the day, but he has to work for a few hours during the day now so I guess I will suck it up and deal with it. Thankfully the baby naps a couple times a day which means that I can nap a couple times a day! I am still sleeping in my recliner at night in the living room- I need to rest in an inclined position for my stomach and also have my head elevated, so it just works better.
