Yes it takes a year to recover fully from this surgery. It is so invasive. At one year after treatment I got scar revision surgery. They did liposuct some extra fat out of my face so that it looked more symetrical to the side where they took out so much tissue. It looks alot better. I still have a big scar under my chin to my neck which I may get lasered down at some point.. Some of the scar revision was covered by insurance-- some of it was considered "cosmetic" and wasn't but at least some of it was.


So sorry to hear about your father in law. I hope he makes a full recovery
and at least with some time will feel comfortable around family and friends while he recovers.If people love you you they don't care what you look like. I understand how painful it is to go through this and have such an assualt to the face... Its really hard.
