Awww Joy, Im sure you do not look like Sloth from the Goonies, if that were the case its time to go after your surgeon! I think people pre-op think either they will heal faster than normal or dont understand that having your face sawed and moved around is severely traumatic for the body! It takes time for it to cope and recover, way after we've mentally got it figured out. Women typically hold onto the swelling significantly longer than men do, so that is another thing! You will be fine Joy, I know its tough that your face you see in the mirror isnt exactly what you want to see, but it will come together when the swelling subsides! Hugs
