I'm four weeks post op today.

Scalp: still largely numb near the incision at the front of my hairline. Speaking of which…
Incision at my hairline: gnarly, man. And not visibly healing quickly. At least the scabs have stopped. The evil prescription shampoo continues for a couple of weeks.
Forehead: a little bumpier than it was a week or two ago, if you can believe it, but given how changeable my whole face has been I’m not freaked out. There’s also a minor numb patch on the left side.
Eyebrows: plucked! I was a naughty patient and did them a day earlier than recommended because I was tired of looking at them.
Nose: a little tender, and I think I may have taped it too tightly yesterday. Looking forward to no more daytime taping starting on the 4th, and no taping at all starting the 9th.
Upper lip: looking less… lifted, which is a relief.
Dietary restrictions: technically gone, but I’m going to be very careful about what I bite into for a while.
Corners of my mouth: which one sags in the morning seems to depend on which side I sleep on, and they're both getting better.
Gums: the stitches are mostly gone.
Lower face nerves: I can feel all of my lower lip now, and my chin and lower front gums are also coming back online.
Chin: looking pretty good, depending on the time of day.
Hairs under chin: plucked as possible. I figured they were in the same category as eyebrow hairs.
