I had 4 lid bleph 9 days ago with laser resurfacing under eyes. Now that the crusty skin has fallen off I am left with two dark pink circles. Should I use lightening treatment or just Acquaphor to soften the skin? How long before it clears up and I can judge bleph results on lower and upper lids? I see a small line under one eye that looks like a partial bag was left, might just be from the laser burn. Does that sound normal? See 1st pic. Next post op is a month away but doc says so far so good.
Answer: Healing after laser and blepharoplasty I tell my patients that the initial healing takes about 10 days- especially when a laser is involved and the full healing takes a few months before you can judge any results. The swelling and redness is always worse by the 3rd and 4th day and this settles down over the next few days. I would suggest you follow up with your surgeon for further healing questions - as for now, its all appropriate for 4 days after your procedure.

Answer: ? red marks under eyes after 4-lid blephs/resurfacing Based on your photos, you seem to be healing appropriately after your procedure. I would stick to using Aquaphor but it's always best to ask your PS if you're not sure. I think it's way too early to say anything about your results. Be patient...time is usually your friend and you want see the final result until 6-12 months postop. Best wishes for a smooth recovery.

Answer: Post op eyelid surgery It is way too early to judge the results of your surgery. What you are experiencing is all part of the normal healing process. It takes 3-6 months to get an idea of what your final results will look like, and you may see some additional improvement for up to a year. In any bilateral surgery, both sides will heal at different rates. I always describe them as cousins, not twins. Make sure to continue to follow up regularly with your surgeon . Be patient, and I bet you will be very happy. Good luck!
