Day Five:  Along with my mid-facelift, I had my upper and lower eyelids, tip of nose refined and necklift.  Today, my sutures were removed - really not as bad as expected.  My eyelids have already relaxed and I'm looking forward to a low-key weekend.  I'm applying an Arnica gel to the bruises under my eyes.  I'm still applying ice in the evening and alternating with warm compresses.  Dr. Wallace has advised no excercise for two weeks, so one more week before I can start excercising again!

Although some people choose to not disclose their plastic surgery, for me, being open is much more appealing.  Friends can encourage and yes, sometimes tease you, but in the end laughter is always the best remedy.
