Hi, it is now day 3 after the above surgery on my eyebrows (op day 18th July). My head is still bandaged (going to take off tomorrow) and I have a lot of bruising mainly around my left eye (I have another question posted about the bruising). What is now really concerning me (100% not liking)is that my eyes look slanted! looking through all the bruising etc I can see that the ends look pulled up which has made my eyes look really slanted (they were oval before). s this permanent or temporary?
