1 month post op, face changing!

So I'm 'embracing the stall', but in the meantime I took this pic of me and my cat today. The image on the left side is me two weeks before surgery.

    @@LisaMergs, I agree with your post so much. The fat around my face was always what I hated the most. I felt like my identity was lost. I hated mirrors. So nice that the first thing to go is my face fat! I smile more now, already!

    Congratulations!! I so get what you are saying. We took my new profile picture before we went out on Saturday evening. I felt like I looked like "myself" for the first time in a long, long time.

    Keep up your great work!!
