I am 12 days post op, and somewhat anxious as to the final outcome, I had the surgery to remove undereye bags and have a more rested appearance. My surgery was a breeze, I did look like a prize fighter that was delivered several hard blows to the face, my face was bruised and eyes almost swollen shut, especially the left one. but 3rd day post op most of the swelling /bruising was gone, ( I used arnica), my sutures were removed 4 days post op, I still have the tightness and lumps to the outer corners of the lids, and this I am told is normal . but what I am concerned about is that the right eye is not symmetrical and the white beneath the lower pupil is exposed. I know I am still healing but I am anxious to know if this will be permanent, Will fu with the surgeon soon

Great review?
