This video was taken 11 days after my Lifestyle Lift and eye lid lift surgery. I was having pain through my neck and jaws to behind my ears. I was told by Dr. Castellano that scar tissue tightens. I was very tight and still had a loss of feeling and sensitivity around my ears. I still had knots behind my ears; it seemed like my face was much harder.
The fact that I was having pain after a week and a half was frustrating and caused me to be a little depressed. I still did not regret having the Lifestyle Lift because I was optimistic that the results would be worth the pain and frustration, but I was ready for the healing to move on. One way to brighten my outlook was to read the forums on the Internet. There were lots of potential problems as the result of any facelift surgery and mine seemed mild compared to some. I think I was mostly disappointed that I seemed to be having more pain than I was previously. I was not treating my pain with Ibuprofen instead of Tylenol.
