3 Week Post Op Comparison Pictures

Today is officially 3 weeks since surgery! 

After Rachel's appointment with Dr. Martin yesterday, the girls and I went to Disneyland for the afternoon/evening. Rachel did great - ate a couple of good sized meals now that the splint is gone! What a difference a full stomach can have on ones energy and mental status! 

I took this weeks comparison pictures in the exact spot where I took her before pictures the week before her surgery. 

The difference in her face is quite amazing. We aren't sure exactly how it happened, but it looks like her face is more elongated now, and not so round. And the space between her upper lip and nose is quite a bit different. And her nose is lifted and more perky. 

The biggest noticeable difference is looking at her side profiles. Her lips now meet. Nose is lifted. And her chin isn't as pointy. 

She still has some swelling in her cheeks, it could take a while before the swelling is all gone. Especially if she's back to sleeping in her bed. It'll be interested to see if much changes once the swelling is gone, and everything has settled.
