Guest guest Posted January 29, 2004 Report Share Posted January 29, 2004 It has been 15 days since my surgery and I am in a little bit of a panic. I have to go back to work in 4 days and I look so funny. It is a cross between Marlon Brando in the Godfather, and, when I smile, Howdie Doodie. I don't look at all like I used to. I thought I would look like me, but just minus a lot of gummy smile. Friends have come over to see me and just go on and on about how I look so different. I know that people say that it takes time and patience, but I have seen in other posts that people say they look okay after 2 weeks. I am far from looking okay. I'm thinking of delaying going back to work by taking a week of vacation -- but maybe I am just delaying the embarassment of having to face the stares and comments. I am trying not to fall into the pit of regretting the surgery, but it is so hard. Anyone else had this experience? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
