Out of curiosity, what procedures did you have?

Hi Karen!
Okay... Here we go...
March 2014 ... (4 months after starting HRT) tracheal shave
January 2015 ...FFS (11.5 hours) scalp advance, brow lift, type III forehead recontouring, rhinoplasty, lip lift, chin re-shaping, chin advanced forward, jaw re-tapering and masseter muscle reduction
May 2015... GRS
November 2015... Additional facial soft tissue work (11.5 hours) upper/lower blephroplasty, upper facelift, brow lift, lower facelift, fat grafting to cheeks, jawline and under eye areas, some salivary gland removal to improve jawline and lower facelift results
Since that last procedure... I have had 4 surgeries ( 2 endoscopic, 2 involving coronal incision and removal of the front of my skull) to fix a complication from the type III forehead procedure...
My frontal sinus was not draining... The build up of fluid would pressure it's way out through the type III bone graft causing pain and swelling...( luckily I wear bangs!!!)

Three of these surgeries were in the last 6 months and it is finally looking like the problem is fixed... Fingers crossed!!!... It has been a battle!!!

I am close to 40 hours on surgery tables in the last few years....and to think I had a lifelong fear of surgery!!!
And... Stevie!!!... Happier!!! That's an understatement sister!!!!
