Calm down, peeps. It's only been 3 weeks since they cut on me. I wanted to let the swelling go down a bit before I made any opinionated posts. So, without further ado, here it is:
The recovery house and staff: it's been covered before, but it's still worth mentioning that it's comfy, they do what they can to make your stay pleasant, and the food is to die for. I would recommend bringing a friend or a SO, as I did, to help stave off boredom.
The Innovare Center: Very nice! Nurses and staff was very friendly and professional. I felt safe and in good hands.
The results: Love my forehead and brows. Very happy with those. Still trying to get used to the shorter upper lip, and loving the plump, full lips I now have. My chin is noticeably shorter and pointier, and me jaw is narrower, but I'm still a bit swollen there, so no final call there yet, but it looks promising. Remember, tell Dr. Cardenas what you want, and don't be shy. Stress those areas that bother you the most, and tell him to be aggressive there.
Random thoughts: Pain wasn't too bad, but there was a few times I was experiencing a lot of discomfort. Sleeping upright freaking sucks. There's no other way to put that. I was completely miserable for the first 5-6 days. Also, if you're flying back home, do yourself a favor and spring for 1st class. Considering I was still kinda "meh" feeling when I went home, it was very nice with the extra room and the pampering on the plane. Money well spent.
