June 4, 2004 - Suture
Removal (30 days post)
Being in such a dry
climate the sutures are not dissolving fast enough. So, they are
getting inflamed. I let Dr, Rusca know and he said take them out
NOW. He though they had already come out. I had already
removed one the day before because it was getting very inflamed and had
pus in it. That hurt so bad, it was like my head caught on fire when
I pulled it out.
So when Marc came home, I
told him he had to take them out so he scrubbed them in peroxide like Dr.
Rusca instructed and began clipping the larger sutures. Not all of
them hurt to be pulled out, just the ones closer to the font. The
smaller sutures were a lot easier.
It was the larger sutures
which were bothering me to begin with (as you can see in the pic), not the
smaller ones. The larger ones kept the tension off the little
sutures.

As you can see after the sutures were out,
the inflammation went down very quickly. It also felt much better an
hour later. I will take updated pics of my incision soon.

For some reason my
eyebrow hair is growing. My left eyebrow is coming in pretty well, (look
closely) but the right is only getting hair at the very end. I am
using some new eyebrow powder with a slant brush. I haven't decided if I like
it. It comes off way to easy. I can't wait to get them
tattooed on. As soon as Dr Rusca gives me the okay, it is ON.
BTW I took these pics this
morning to show the Ogee curve of the cheeks:
1 night before & 33 days
after - no make-up
I am working on a the 3/4 view
pics. The before was the night before surgery and the after was
today.
