What the F? Im 4 days out. 4 days! And Im starting to look like Ben Affleck at the Oscars! I've got a serious beard/ mustache going on! I look like my brothers when the Wings are in the play offs! It's not going to matter how skinny I am if I turn into a bald woman with a full on assault face muff! Is this normal? (Lol! It's kind of a funny "is this normal" ummm the answer is NO!) but does this happen frequently?

I haven't had to deal with an increase in facial hair after surgery. I finally got tired of plucking my chin hairs so I started seeing a electrologist to get the chin hairs permanently removed and now I'm hair free on my chin and she also does the fine hairs on my lip area. I'm not a hairy person by any means but unwanted hairs drive me insane. Look into electrolysis because that is the ONLY way to get your unwanted hairs permanently removed. I see her every 2 weeks and it cost about $30 for a 15 min session, it's so worth it.

Can be a real condition called hirsutism. Has to do with how insulin is handled by the body and impacts male hormones. Also can be caused by Cushings ( adrenal gland problems) or PCOS. I say call doctor.

I had to pluck long before surgery. Tried getting laser removal but if you have light pigment it won't work...has to be dark. This is a thing that a lot of women get with age. Sucks. Tweezers are my best friend.

I just let some woman at a salon abuse me with hot wax. We'll see how long it takes me to grow into a Chia Pet from here. I have to break it to my doctor that I fled the country to have surgery, and now expect her to do my follow up care, don't want to throw too much at her at once.

also, just a rambling thought from my husband when I read him this ( now the kids are having a full on debate about it at the dinner table) that back in the day they used to give you shots of testosterone before surgery apparently it gives you a false sense of feeling better afterwords. Not sure about this but he does watch a lot of the Discovery Channel so their is a good chance this could be true...
