Hi, Rani...don't worry, it's completely normal, and yes, it will go away. Now, if I could only convince myself of that...since I am sitting here having had a lower f/l and necklift a few days ago!! So, I'm feeling the same as you...and boy, am I swollen and hard. But I've read so much over the months on different boards, and I have to tell you, the stiffness and numbness will go away...everyone heals differently, so you can't judge by the few who say they never felt it, or some who complain about how long it takes to go away. If you've got minimal bruising and swelling, then you may very well be one of the very lucky ones who heals quickly!!! Nine days is certainly too soon to be worrying about how much longer it will all be stiff and numb...as it is a gradual healing process. Remember, too, that before long the numbness will be the only thing left bothering you, and you'll be able to forget about it. Then, at some point you'll realize it's gone and wonder when that happened, lol. Believe me, it will happen. Good luck!
