I had upper blepharoplasty and a lower chemical peel 35 % tca. I am still SO pink/red! Could this be a bad reaction? Will it ever go back to my normal skin color? I always worn very little to no makeup and I actually had to go purchase makeup to cover this up for public outings. I’m terrified it will never look normal again and I’ll always look like a raccoon. I sent photos to my plastic surgeon and expressed my concern but he told me it was normal. From what I’ve seen it’s not.
