The bruising has gotten a little worse, but the pain is mostly gone. My neck is just sore, and it's uncomfortable to move my lower face/lips. (I get these weird little sharp pains.)
I no longer have to wear my mummy/nun bandages during the day, just in the evening and when I sleep.
So far, I'm really happy with the way things look! I'm excited to see how things will look in a couple weeks from now!
Here's my before surgery/ 1 week after surgery pic:

Holy crow that is some difference! No wonder you're excited!!
(Are you hanging on to those bandages for Halloween '09?) :)
Kam, you look really great. I thought you looked lovely before the lipo, and I totally understand why you decided what you did. The lipo certainly adds more definition to your jawline. Hope you continue to feel better each day.
Wow, the lipo made a big difference. You look fantastic!
Wow, I had no idea you were in so much pain. Thank goodness the worse is over. And I can tell a difference! Of course, I thought you looked great before, but what can I say, you're a gem!

Hi Kam, hope the recovery is going well. I'm having upper jaw surgery in the new year and wondering if it will effect my nose. Have you noticed much of a change to yours?

Hi James!
(Sorry about for forgetting to respond earlier, I meant to comment on your blog but I couldn't find it)
They moved my upper jaw forward 6mm, they said they didn't move it up or down.
Aesthetically, I love the way it made my lower lips look (something I wasn't expecting with upper jaw surgery)
I'm a little annoyed with the way my nose looks, but my surgeon said it can take a year until it becomes normal again.
Also, my upper lip seems tight, and looks like a have a little bit of a gummy smile. My surgeon said it can even take up to two years for the skin to get back to normal.
(The way I smile might also be due to my braces being in the way)
Let me know if you have any more questions!
