LoriB, did you have indentation where your eye sockets meet your cheeks? I had my lower bleph done 4 1/2 weeks ago and I have dark circles, hollowing and indentation. A bit like your picture at 2 weeks. a little worried that this is permanent.

Hi, its A LOT better than it was at 2 weeks now. I cant say that I am completely smooth now but I would say I am 80% better than I was originally. People kept telling me to be patient and after about 3 months I started believing them, so be patient :)

It's all normal, remember its very thin skin and it's been pretty battered, it will get better, the tops will relax and i promise it will all look good in a few weeks! Give it time and arnica !!!!

Give it time, swelling and muscle racing will take at least 6 weeks, minimum! Mine looked swollen for 4 weeks and at 7 weeks I really started seeing the results! People comment everyday now! Patience!!!!

It normally takes longer than 2 weeks. Most of your swelling might be gone by now, but there can be some residual swelling that sticks around for even a few months. This can hide the "final" result.

Have you asked your doc about your results?
