just wanted to say the yellow and black and blue bruising was bad at first but all cleared up in about the first 2 weeks. If yours is ligering to long I would definetly consult the doctor.

I will. they say my skin is soft and I have tiny blood vessels.

Acually it has been a little over 4 months. they look pretty good. biggest problem I still have is the dark pigment and these little tiny pimples like, I dont know what they are but they are on the top of the incision line. they come and go but I hate them. I am usuing a lightener from the demotoligist. only for a week now so not real results yet. I wish I knew of a faster lightening agent that is safe to use on eyelids and something to get rid of the tiny bumps. any suggestions?

I also have dark pigment on both sides of the incisions on both eyes. I went to my dermotoligist and she prescribed a lightening gel. Unfortunately she uses her own name on the products she sells so I cant tell you really what it is. Have only been using it for 3 days now. My surgery was done 4 months ago on my upper lids only. The only advise I could give you is to find a lightening product that is safe to use around your eye area. I think this is the only way to go unless you try some scar aid products but these made my eyes feel tight and lids got dry but may work better under the eyes in your case. Just try these and see what is best for you. hope this helps. good luck
