1) I didn't have any bone work done. I think my experiences are pretty different (read as: easier) from what most people undergo when they talk about FFS. My diary wouldn't be of much use, I'm afraid.
2) The nose job was the thing that was the most uncomfortable about it, and really it wasn't all that bad. The scalp advance and lip lift were nothing compared to the nose for discomfort, and that's pretty routine stuff.
3) Really, the pictures say it all for this one. I'm building a set on Flickr, here.
Here's my summary, though: compared to my "bottom surgery", this was a breeze. I was blind for the first couple of days from the swelling around my eyes, but I felt fine. Even in the hospital, I was only asking for Tylenol, because I just felt like I had been punched in the nose and had a headache. Dr. Spiegel was great. Healing was fast and easy. I'm really starting to love the results, now that the swelling and bruising are clearing up. I especially like my new profile. My nose is starting to look really cute.
That really says it all for me. I'm extremely happy with my choice of procedures and my choice of surgeons. I wasn't expecting to like the way I looked this soon after surgery.
I think I got exactly what I wanted out of this.

That's a really nice nose!
How far was your scalp advanced?
Congratulations, and I'm glad you're the happy with the results! Looking real good so far. :)
and you look pretty Suzanne!
OH WOW !!! SUZANNE !! Absolutely Fabulous! Wear that beautiful face with caution. You are going to turn alot of heads and definitely cause some whiplash cases.
I am so happy for you.

You look awesome Suzanne! I'll be keeping that doctor's name on file :) Really... Wow! Congratulations!!!
Marie, I don't really know how far the scalp was advanced. I'd guess between 1/2 and 1" in most places. Possibly slightly more in the recessions. The idea was mainly to give the hairline less of an "M" shape.
The scalp advance also lifted my brows a bit (subtle, but I can see the difference) and smoothed out my forehead (actually a big change -- makes me look younger, I think).
Spiegel used some of the material from the scalp advance as filler for my upper lip. I wasn't crazy about having 5 stiches in my upper lip for a week, but now that they've disolved, I'm liking the feel of the new lips.
You look great, Suzanne! I'm very happy for you =)
Congratulations on the successful surgery. You look awesome. :)
Looking very good! Totally envious.
You look wonderful, Suzanne! I'm impressed with the results, and with the speed of healing. I think you're a good ad for Dr. Spiegel. :)
You look great!!!
I think just one word covers it...
WOW!
Look at you, gorgeous!!!
Truly amazing what has been done without having your bones crunched. Are you happy with it? You seem to be and I do think you should think of yourself as pretty.
You're stunning Suzanne xxxxx
Thanks, everyone, for the lovely compliments.
Yes, it's getting better every single day, and yes, I love the changes. If I were doing it over again, I think I'd get exactly the same procedures.
Spiegel knows his stuff. Aside from the part where he punches you in both of your eyes while you're under anesthesia then lies to you about it when you wake up, I recommend him enthusiastically. Plus, he's really cute and charming. That doesn't hurt.
