Had fat pads (big ones!) removed from lower and upper lids. Used a laser. Its been one week and still have bruising on lower eyelids and upper eyelids are crusting over (hopefully healing).

I am anxious to be able to wear contacts soon and get back to normal after taking it easy for a week. I am using arnica pellets and gel, and pineapple juice. And rest.

I'm looking for real answers for real results on post surgery on upper and lower eyelids. Got rid of bags but now have the wrinkles! I need a good regimen and my dr. suggested retinol. I have looked on the internet and see there are many products and many prices. I need some advice on what really is helpful. I am 44 and in good health.
Great review?

You may need a little skin skin removed or some type of skin resurfacing such as CO2 or fractionated CO2 to get rid of the wrinkling.
