Six months later and mine are still numb and stretched feeling. Didn't expect that....

Hi NHaven,
When I had my eyelids done, they were numb and thick for quite a long time, at least one year. But very, very gradually all the numbness and swelling went away. I posted in another thread that it took about 2 years + for my eyelids to get to their final shape. I think if you are patient, and don't focus on it too much, you will be fine. Good luck!

Yes, both of my eyelids are numb. I think it's due to swelling. I'm not sure. I didn't ask my doctor.
